Lyrics:

I done suffer no be small

Upon say I get sense

Poverty no good at all, no

Na im make I join this business

419 no be thief, it's just a game

Everybody dey play em

if anybody fall mugu,

ha! my brother I go chop em

Chorus:

National Airport na me get em

National Stadium na me build em

President na my sister brother

You be the mugu, I be the master

Oyinbo man I go chop your dollar,

I go take your money and disappear

419 is just a game, you are the loser I am the winner

The refinery na me get em,

The contract, na you I go give em

But you go pay me small money make I bring em

you be the mugu, I be the master...

na me be the master ooo!!!!

When Oyinbo play wayo,

dey go say na new style

When country man do him own,

them go dey shout: bring em, kill em, die!

That Oyinbo people greedy, I say them greedy

I don't see them tire

That's why when they fall into my trap o!

I dey show them fire
