See you start looking at me like that
It’s like
I dont even know
I just fucking met you like
Who the fuck are you
Telling me how to behave in my life
Take a look at yourself
Just for once
Do you see yourself
Look in the mirror

Dont really know
How this could happen

I dont really know
How this could happen

Dont really know
How this could happen

I dont really know
How this could happen

Dont really know

Whats the story, morning glory
More fake news tryna mind control me
Got me twisted
You dont know me
Ima dark horse
Not a one trick pony

Your living in the bits
Like a prison n shit
Had to move to the sticks the neighbours too nosy
Black leather boots
Better grab a stoney
Theres a war going on outside
Dont get cosy
Persistence
Resilience
From Nigeria to Meridian
Mum, did you see what I done
I turned my benefits into some millions
Ever since school taught me about slavery
I’ve been focused on brilliance
MPs lie they treat us like idiots
How you turn around and blame it on the immigrants

Dont really know
How this could happen

I dont really know
How this could happen

Dont really know

Dont ask what happen to my innocent smile
The way that we’re living is wild
ain’t no love for an immigrant child
The writings on the wall has anyone else noticed
Was it Brexit
Was it covid
They point fingers
I feel hopeless
Inhale
Exhale
Keep the focus

Persistence
Resilience
From Nigeria to Meridian
Mum, did you see what I done
I turned my benefits into some millions
You came London for a better life
And its nothing but greatness we been givin’ ‘em
Now they say Adenuga the UK black royal family
Wha gwaan William

I dont really know
How this could happen

Dont really know

Dont really know
How this could happen

I dont really know
How this could happen
