  One, two, three, woah
  Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo
  I told them (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)
  I told them (Yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)
  Hmm-mmm (Yo, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)
  I told them, woah (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo)

  I told them I'm a genius, I had to show them what the meaning is
  Hundred thousand hands, where the ceiling is?
  I told them I'm the highest, with the drip, I'm the flyest
  Hundred thousand hands, where the sky is?
  Told 'em I'm amazing, they told me I was crazy
  Nothing ever changed
  I told 'em I'm a giant, real African giant
  Self-confident, self-reliant
  Told 'em I'm the master, they told me I wouldn't prosper
  I tell them say them be bastard
  Tell them dem they joke yioo
  So make I stop smoking yioo, abi dem wan jonze oo
  Me, I dey feel pain, but I move forward and I switch lanes
  Because Odogwu no be nickname
  They say, "Who be this person?", I told them I'm Big 7
  Put am for your body in a split second
  Put me on your song, it's a hit record
  If I put you on, you a rich nigga
  Yes, I told them, I told them I'm a born winner
  I stay humble, because I'm a born sinner
  I told them that I was the realest
  For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are

  (Ooh-ah-ah)
  I told them from the start
  (Ooh-ah-ah)
  Right from the very start
  (Ooh-ah-ah)
  I told them, I told them, ah-ah
  I told them they were gonna see this
  For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are
  (Ooh-ah-ah)
  I told them from the start
  (Ooh-ah-ah)
  Right from the very start
  (Ooh-ah-ah)
  I told them, I told them, ah-ah
  I told them they were gonna see this
  For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are

  Which one of you is the abbot?
  I wanna join the temple
  We shine like that travels and waves that are unbelievable
  Distance and days
  Radio, micro, infrared and ultraviolet
  Picture so beautiful, I had to film the pilot
  Coined a new grand of philosophy
  That form images in your mind, quite different from photography
  Anointed few, a point of view of the thinkers
  No pitch, that's a glitch full of hook lines, and sinkers
  The way the wise look at light, the manner of the thoughtful
  There is no benefit if it's not resourceful
  Four to five, the observers, they get something from it
  It become routine, been there and done it
  I'm in a place where perception is developed
  If you can't walk on these shoes, then your feet would swell up
  A medium by which thoughts are made clear
  Beneath the surface, but only hurting the inner ear
