Fireboy DML – ONE MAN REGIMENT Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tunnel vision, focus on the prize
I’m a true-born champion
It’s not a competition
Yes, I dey my lane, but I know where me I belong
It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon
So as you run, just know we only just begun
It’s difficult, but it must be done
[Chorus]
I’m on a journey and I can’t go back
Benjamins in billions
How can I stop now when I’ve come so far?
I’ve been strong and diligent
And I stand ten toes, Buffalo Soldier
It’s a one-man regiment
I say right now, nothing can slow me down
I swear, nothing can slow me down
I swear, nothing can slow me down
[Verse 2]
First and foremost
Everything made sense when I found purpose
I was going in circles
But I know say if I no stop, victory is certain
If I tell you all my stories from way back
Wetin my eyes don see for this Lagos
I no go talk, success the real payback
How many men wan bring me down?
(How many men?)
Hundred percent, I tried to make amends
But they still on my matter consistently (‘tently)
Don’t really care, ’cause man’s already blessed
It’s a celebration, baby, drinks on me
Everyone just wanna take something
It’s a crazy world, mama, pray for me
Oluwa dey for me
[Chorus]
I’m on a journey and I can’t go back
Benjamins in billions
How can I stop now when I’ve come so far?
I’ve been strong and diligent
And I stand ten toes, Buffalo Soldier
It’s a one-man regiment
I say right now, nothing can slow me down
I swear, nothing can slow me down
I swear, nothing can slow me down
