[Chorus]
When I come to the east, then what I hear them say? (Ike)
And when I go to the south, then what I hear them say? (Ike)
And when I go to the west, then what I hear them scream? (Ike)
The all of Africa be shouting my name
They say ike (Ike), ike (Ike), ike (Ike) ikechukwu
Ike (Ikе), ike (Ike), ike (Ikе) ikechukwu
[Verse 1]
Yo, ayy
Before I made it I was broke in the gutter
Even my own hood had no hope for a brother (What?)
Yeah, it ain't no joke in the gutter
Been riding for long, man, you can see the smoke on the rubber (Skrrt)
Catastrophic, shit on my plate
Pengting pretty, I can hit it for days (Uh)
The reason for my serious rage
As a youngin, I was surviving on minimum wage
Pops died had to fit in his shoes
Got no time to chill with these dudes (Woo)
No comparison I pity these fools
Old man taught me how to make legitimate moves (Yes)
Now I roll with the select few (Ike)
All these new dope rappers are my nephews (Ike)
Y'all wouldn't stop me even if I let you
The money come first, then later gon' respect you
[Chorus]
When I come to the east, then what I hear them say? (Ike)
And when I go to the south, then what I hear them say? (Ike)
And when I go to the west, then what I hear them scream? (Ike)
The all of Africa be shouting my name
They say ike (Ike), ike (Ike), ike (Ike) ikechukwu
Ike (Ike), ike (Ike), ike (Ike) ikechukwu
[Verse 2]
I used to be a dreamer couple years ago (What?)
When success don't come then there's fear to grow (Uh)
Afraid of the future what it appears to hold (Ayy)
Thank God I was able to persevere the cold (Woo)
Second album what a blessing man I'm so lifted (Jones)
But ain't nothing changed this is no different (Yeah)
New error but I'm sticking to the old mission
I told them hip-hop was back but they won't listen
Now we flexing better than whenever done in ages (Ike)
The crowd show me love when we get on them stages (Ike)
How can I describe this? It's so amazing
Mom on the background screaming "We finally made it"
Kipchoge they not even close
If you know we be dropping bars you be dropping the soap
It's only logical that's why I'm dropping the coats
Flow wavy as hell I be rocking the boat
So just admit it am the realest n***a shitting on the rest
The heat that I be spitting, got me chilling with the best
Am flipping on the beat am like a killer when I rap
And my drip is of the hinges, I'm the biggest in the west
In the east in the south of Africa what it is?
A perfect example of how a n***a handle they biz
Not even American rappers still they fuck with a kid
Top five dead or alive Ikechukwu you dig?
[Chorus]
When I come to the east, then what I hear them say? (Ike)
And when I go to the south, then what I hear them say? (Ike)
And when I go to the west, then what I hear them scream? (Ike)
The all of Africa be shouting my name
They say ike (Ike), ike (Ike), ike (Ike) ikechukwu
Ike (Ike), ike (Ike), ike (Ike) ikechukwu
[Verse 3]
I did commit myself fi de hustle
If chali wanna hate let them hate we don't mind 'em
And if they bomboclat one tussle
Babylon fire ikechukwu fire burn dem
Salute the king one finger pon de air (Ike)
Top shotta OG we don care (Ike)
And none of dem compare (Ike)

Ain't none of them compare (Ike)
And we taking over, we taking over

[Chorus]
