Young Fathers - Dip lyrics

rate me

Brute force and ignorance

The bitterest truth is better

Than the sweetest lies

Too early or too late

Learn to keep learning

And learning chale(?)

Wish I coulda seen ya

But the money wasn’t there

Papaye

Baby Alloy

All grown up

Baby Alloy

Cheeky chancer

Baby Alloy

Aeyah

You dip your fingers in the water

You wonder what’s your punishment

You’ve gotten all your things in order

But what is your significance

Rustle up the advocates for some good old retribution

Duty calls you did your job under no illusions

Mmm mmm mmm mmmm

Seems say I don drawn you go find me oga

You go jump in the van or you go run na your own choice

We still they around

Puff puff cigar like tomorrow no dey come

Take your mama’s love or light couple bombs

Set off or prepare when the retribution comes

Stab your brother

Patience is the fear

Love each other

Render insincere

Render insincere

You dip your fingers in the water

You wonder what’s your punishment

Mmm mmm mmm mmmm

Mmm mmm mmm mmmm

Mmm mmm mmm mmmm

To a plain Jane

I’m playing sane

Holding back the madness new trend

I’m tica-tica-tying up my loose ends

And I hope he’s worth more when he’s lifeless

A hit of a dark shade of hazel

At last at last my appraisal

Put the body and the mind on the table

With your favourite song playing on the radio

You dip your fingers in the water

You wonder what’s your punishment

You’ve gotten all your things in order

But what is your significance

Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmm
