Back on the Wall

When you get your back on the wall
When you get your back on the wall
Them no dey like you like them dey dey used to
When you get your back on the wall
When you get your back on the wall
Them no dey like you like them dey dey used to
Them no dey like you like them dey dey used to, used to
And edey pain me, make a’blame me!
Why them no dey like me like them dey dey used to
Them no dey like me like them dey dey used to, used to
Is it that mean, is it jealousy
Why them no dey like me like them dey dey used to
Them no dey like me like them dey dey used to, used to
See me see trouble
See me see trouble
See me see trouble
See me see trouble ey
Please don’t burst my bubble
I’ve been hustling hustling

So tell me mini sa ne ba

Sɛ m’anya me ho n fa soɔ deɛ yemmɔ ka
On my knees praying for mercy
Jah Jah abi you see the grind
Nanfo sɛm nti na kɔtɔ nni tre

Ghetto wood actors
Wɔsɛe me din backwards
