January 9th Lyrics by Black Sherif

Yaya yaya (Yaya)
Yaya KK (Joker)
Yaya (Yaya)
Yaya (Yaya)
Yaya (Yaya)
Yaya (Yaya)
Yaya KK

It’s not my time to leave, but they want me to die
They don’t want me alive, yeah, they want me to go
Trying to survive through the evil eyes
They don’t wanna leave me alone
Tryna get me to believe I don’t deserve my life
I used to be shocked but these days I don’t
It’s been a couple years so I don’t be surprised
I’m not a baby anymore
Whole lotta superstitions about the guy
Said I’m working with the devil and I’ve been doing a whole
Whole lotta sacrifices and tings at my shows
But I say nada ’cause heaven knows
Yɛse easy on the zaza
We need you alive
And keep it going yaya, we praying for you
You a superstar now don’t be on the road
Nanso menam ha
Do my best and I’m gone
