Suté - Jeli [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Mr. Nelson]
Sute how far now?
Omo see this guy oh
Just come my house just dey lie
All those things wey we do way back for school, this guy still dey do am
Just come here come dey tell me say e don buy 10 cars, 5 Bugatti
E get gold toilet
Say e just you know
I'm confused

[Verse 1: Suté]
My first day in school i told a lie
Told it to my peers
I told it to older guys
Told it for the rep
I told it so i'll look fly
And you ain't surprised
You too have told a lie
Growing up in lagos that shit is like do or die
You only live once but gidi is suicide
Give me a reason why we were running the city wild
Smoking weed blowing up smoke to the city sky
And when i said i rocked every party that was a lie
Couple teenagers popping up in the latest rides
And when i said i was given to drive you know i lied
Zooming in one direction kinda like Harry Styles
Back when babes were looking razz as fuck your boy was hazardous
Ask about my previa bus my boys'll tell you what was up
Lieing for the fun of it
Before i gave a fuck about the government
Corruption or the money they were funneling

[Hook: Mr. Nelson]
Omo e fi mi le
Why you come dey lie to us
Omo e fi mi le
You wan change white to black
Omo e fi mi le (Ogbeni Ogbeni)
You too dey lie Ogbeni
Omo e fi mi le
Ja de (You wan change am for us)
Outside

[Verse 2: Suté]
My first day in school i told a story
About the same time me and rap had matrimony
The facts are homie in lag you lax and lose cause these cronies
Never relax their moves are always intact homie
Parallel my life then
Lagos city was like a wild gem
And we were scavengers in a tunnel looking for light then
Party organizers, obtainers were living the life then
And we were almost brainless i swear we wanted to be like them
So right then, when it was our turn and we saw the light mehn
Did my first party and everyone was invited
At the same time was writing with pens and pads mehn
Niggas was fighting free style battles i was igniting
Out of DCL
Sheltered from dangers and the city hell
Where agberos, touts and real shooters dwell
I know the city well, grew up on the city smell
Now i storytell unholy tales that show the city's real

[Hook]

[Outro: Mr. Nelson]

[Bridge: Suté]
If you knew me then
You'll know how this began
Birth in the food basket
Grew up out in gidi mehn
Silly men
Started with guys that didn't see the end
So i've chosen to rise and live our dreams again (2x)

[Verse 3]
My first day in school i started a journey
Now i'm on the road, nobody can steer it for me
No comparing, the best and you didn't hear it from me
Soon approaching danger my nigga no near am for me
So I'm booked for the next flight
Pocket wasn't full on my left thigh
Talking bout school and you guessing why
A moment that gets passed by
They sold me to badagry but it's cool homie let's ride
