Teo is coming

Teo is coming babyTeo is coming baby

Buckle up nigga

Let′s do this

Yes yes yes y'all

You know who it is on

The fucking microphone Again

It′s the Chief motherfucking Priest

Yeah

Sad Avenue Nigga

Yo, yo

I'm from a place where

Good souls get Corrupted

Cops walking around

Looking for who to knack Shots

I'm from a place where

Bunkery is the main pay

Niggaz hack the internet

Looking for way to make pay

Through a yahoo

Looking for who to defraud

I′m from a place where the kings

They take bribe

To kill their own subjects

I′m from a place

They call it, sad avenue

Nothing ever works

Year to year

Week to week

We are just living by the hope

That never gets realistic

Sad Avenue

I'm from a place where Jubo Jubogha

Used to be a king

But he died in his riverbank

Sad Avenue

I′m from a place where

Sad souls they mingle

Where niggaz Who have hope

They just take dope

I'm from a place where

Mothers they born 6

Hoping to train two

Hoping they make it too

Where disease kill you

Or police go shoot you soon

I′m from a place where

Where nothing ever works

The water is dirty

When your toilet full

Nobody will suck it, you bury it

I'm from a place where

Where niggaz be working hard

Hoping 2000 years from now

It′s gonna be good

Nothing works at the moment

Sad Avenue

I'm from a place

They call it P-town

Pitakwa

To be precise

We changed it from Portharcourt

It used to be a colonial name

I'm from a place where

Even Ahoy mates

They have their secretariat in Rumuola

On lock down

Even Sealords they get locked down

They can′t fly no more

I′m from a place where

Aro's dey carry bag

But they would not work in Julius Berger

Deybam dey drink Chelsea

Deywell love their Squadron

None of them getting paid

Coming from the sales

I′m from a place where

Where people don't like themselves

Everybody want to be rich

And lock themselves in their house

I′m from a place where

Where they use foreign laws on the subject

People are ashamed to speak their language

I'm from a place where

People spit on their mothers

And their fathers when they die

They call them evil

I′m from a place where

Where Christianity is fighting with people

Who owns the land

This is Sad Avenue

Where I come from

I come from a place where

I know too much

But I don't know how to clean my own gutter

I'm from a place where

Food is the most difficult things to get

It′s called Sad Avenue

Pitakwa Boy

Ptown

I′m from a place where

When Niggaz they join group

They looking for who to kill

Day to day their best friend is their target

I'm from a place

Called PTOWN

To be precise, it′s South South

Waterside Niggaz

We ready to ride

The beat just finished

On a Gee

Southside, Southside

Two of this, Nigga

Check this out

Chief motherfucking Priest, nigga

Born for this Nigga

Check this out

Sad Avenue

Sad, sad avenue

Sad Avenue

Sad, sad avenue

I'm from a place

Where sad souls mingle

Just like Harshly avenue

Scared to make move

Like a camera watching a Nigga

But there is no camera down here

You got your soul, watching you

I′m from a place where

Everything you touch is corrupted

I'm from a place where

Niggaz hope they make it

But they never make it

They bury them very early

I′m from a place where

Niggaz be struggling for what is real

They don't know till they get old

I'm from a place where

Poor man them dey pay tithe

Poor man dey give offering

To person wey hold passam

I′m from a place where

People they hate themselves and the soul

They bleaching their skin

They think it′s gonna make them pretty

I'm from a place

It′s so sad to walk the streets

Cuz the pulp and the cops

Is walking on the road

Looking for who to pump a bullet

I'm from a place where

Colonialism never ends

We reinforce it every year

I′m from a place where

Even kings dey wear suit

I'm from a place where

People go against each other

Over colours like that

I′m from a place where

You have this and that

Cartel upon cartel

I'm from a place where

Secret cults run it

Niggazmen be planning how to move

This few kalashin that we've got

And the magazine

Across the lockdown line

I′m from a place where

Bribery is the only way

You get a position

I′m from a place where

Students never really graduate in 4 years

They make it up to 9 years

It's a sad avenue

Where I come from

It corrupts my mind

Thinking about the People around me

I′m from a place where

You can only make it

When you go down the corrupt lane

It's a sad avenue

Where I come from

Nothing ever works unless you pull shit

I′m from a place where

Niggaz still think things will be better

So they pray to God

Anyone available

Hoping that he help them

I'm from a place

Called sad avenue

The river is dead with the fishes

Everything that works there is just foreign oil

I′m from a place where

We never gets welfare

From the day that we were born

Till the day that we die

I'm from a place that

We think more of death

Than we think of living

It's called Sad Avenue

PTOWN boy

Pitakwa, to be specific

South south boy, nigga

I collide with your crew

Anyday, Anytime, Nigga

Sad Avenue

Where I come from

Jubo Jubogha

Used to be my president

Fela Anikulapo Kuti

I used to still give my loyalty

I′m from a place where

People spit on themselves

When they die

And wish never to be remembered

I′m from a place where

Everybody wanna run

And leave it empty

I'm from heaven

Now it has been turned to an abyss

With nothing but sad faces

All around me

Arise my niggaz

For a better living
