back n forth Lyrics by Fireboy DML ft Lagbaja
Its obvious you haven’t found a replacement
I know you in and out so I cannot be mistaken
Girl, I know you miss it when I’m driving you crazy
Wiping you naked, riding and shaking
All the yamayama you are saying online
As the labalaba for my belly don die
i will never ever let it survive
Omotola you dey make me wan cry
Oh now you want me back?
after putting me through hell and back
I thought I told you that I’m done with that
So tell me why you want me back?
Oh now you want me back?
After putting me through hell and back
I thought I told you that I’m done with that
So tell me why you want me back
Ye ye ye ye, ye ye ye ye ye
Oh now you want me back?
Ye ye ye ye, ye ye ye ye ye
Oh now you want me back
Kill a man, kill a man, kill a man, yo oh
Wetin you do me fit to kill a man ye eh
Make a man choko, make a man shekpe
Give a man gun, make I shoot you like a po-po
And like a po-po I for settle your ca-ase
For your case I for pull up in a ‘Lambo
