Dear one, I want to be there
In this world
(Chrs)
Dear one, I want to be there
If I don't have money now
Dear one, I want to be there if I beg to survive
Dear one, I want to be there if I have to steal
Instead of dying in the wilderness
Don't block me with all sorts of madness
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness
My intellect will never die
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness oo
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness oo
(Stanza 1)
They are earning naira
I'm making dollars
They say I'm bragging
They went to Russia
I went to Canada
Life is a journey
My enemy knows that money is what's up
Money is essential
How does it happen
Don't ask me
Only God can answer
The story is too long
Go and ask the elders
I can't say no
That's why I'm here
Anywhere there's money
That's where I'll be
Anywhere there's blessing
That's where I'll be
Life without money
I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there eeeh...
(Chrs)
Dear one, I want to be there
If I don't have money now
Dear one, I want to be there if I beg to survive
Dear one, I want to be there if I have to steal
Instead of dying in the wilderness
Don't block me with all sorts of madness
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness
My intellect will never die
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness o
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness oo
(Stanza 2)
Who is eating
While the dog is eating the same?
Exactly the same
If there is money
Friends will come, family will say they belong
If there is no money
You will be the only one to help
Please see that money is essential
Our Lord has not finished solving that issue
After money. Money is
After money. Money is
Money is used to build houses
Money is used to escape poverty
Money is used to defeat enemies
Money is used to build bridges over enemies
Money is used to get married
Oh money... You think oooo
(Chrs)
Dear one, I want to be there

Dear one, I want to be there if I have to steal
Instead of dying in the wilderness
Don't block me with all sorts of madness
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness
My intellect will never die
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness o
Don't disturb me with all sorts of madness oo
