"Evil Eye (Extended)" lyrics
Say a prayer for me (Prayer)
I'm surrounded by some people that need prayer, mommy
Tell 'em keep me from that evil eye
(From that evil eye)
My future's brighter
Nuh bother with the lighter
Ancestor Naija
My calling's higher
Fighter, survivor
Look at what he's done, done, done
Look at what I've overcome
Wahala comes mi nah stress, no
Child of God, I'm blessed, yo
People dem, dem wanna test me
But I don't feel no pressure
One of a kind, I'm special
Lives in me, residential
Sometimes, I forget though
I still need you to pray for me, yeah
Say a prayer for me
I'm surrounded by some people that need prayer, mommy
Tell 'em keep me from that evil eye
(From that evil eye)
The streets are colder than when I grew up
Friendships we made in the playground
Are in the grave now
All because of jealousy
It doesn't matter if we're family
You can't dim my light
Haffi live my life when
Wahala comes mi nah stress, no
Child of God, I'm blessed, yo
People dem, dem wanna test me
But I don't feel no pressure (No)
One of a kind, I'm special
Lives in me, residential
Sometimes, I forget though
I still need you to pray for me, yeah
Say a prayer for me
I'm surrounded by some people that need prayer, mommy
Tell 'em keep me from that evil eye
(From that evil eye)
Same one's who be gassing you up
They be praying on your downfall
But I keep it stepping, they get no reception from me
God knows
Same one's who be gassing you up
They be praying on your downfall
But I keep it stepping, they get no reception from me
God knows
(Evil eye)
(Keep me from that evil eye)
(From that evil eye)
Just don't get it
Your escape ain't making no one here money
Your escape has never taken you from me
You escape, then you return here lonely
You should pray a little more, a little more holy
You think selfish is the only way to go
You built your house, but you never made a home
Made your bed, but you still live on the sofa
You got thrones, why you chilling on the coast?
I know you need that remedy
I know you need that energy
Oh, oh
I know you need that remedy
I know you need that energy
Oh, oh
I'm surrounded by some people that need prayer, mommy
Tell 'em keep me from that evil eye
(From that evil eye)
My future's brighter
Nuh bother with the lighter
Ancestor Naija
My calling's higher
Fighter, survivor
Look at what he's done, done, done
Look at what I've overcome
Wahala comes mi nah stress, no
Child of God, I'm blessed, yo
People dem, dem wanna test me
But I don't feel no pressure
One of a kind, I'm special
Lives in me, residential
Sometimes, I forget though
I still need you to pray for me, yeah
Say a prayer for me
I'm surrounded by some people that need prayer, mommy
Tell 'em keep me from that evil eye
(From that evil eye)
The streets are colder than when I grew up
Friendships we made in the playground
Are in the grave now
All because of jealousy
It doesn't matter if we're family
You can't dim my light
Haffi live my life when
Wahala comes mi nah stress, no
Child of God, I'm blessed, yo
People dem, dem wanna test me
But I don't feel no pressure (No)
One of a kind, I'm special
Lives in me, residential
Sometimes, I forget though
I still need you to pray for me, yeah
Say a prayer for me
I'm surrounded by some people that need prayer, mommy
Tell 'em keep me from that evil eye
(From that evil eye)
Same one's who be gassing you up

Oh, oh
I know you need that remedy
I know you need that energy
Oh, oh
