Mo fẹ́ shine bí superstar for stage

Kí gbogbo ilu tí mo bá lọ kọ orin mi
Kí world recognize the pain inside me
Kí glory shock world bíti Ololade
Kí hustle mi turn testimony l’ọla badé
Kí destiny mi yí bí lightning for sky
Kí gbogbo enemies shock say “how?” and “why?”
Baba God iwọ ni destiny changer
Wa rewrite my story from danger
Ọ̀pọ̀ laughed when nobody knew my sound
Tomorrow same people go gather around
Mi ò fẹ́ fake fame wey go fade quick
Mo fẹ́ success wey go stand complete
Kí wealth no just reach me alone
Kí family and street no suffer again
(Verse 3 — confidence + prophecy)
Badaman rising up ju gbogbo wọn lọ
Not by power — na grace dey show
No rapper fit match destiny God write
When heaven stamp man, darkness no fit fight
Mi ò dey compete — mo dey fulfill vision
Mo ti trek many road láìsí helper
Dream mi ń burn bí eternal fire
Ọ̀pọ̀ sọ pé “rap no go feed you”
Badaman
