Lyrics: Butter Bread By Tru Mantra
Intro:
Omo na chess be this, no be ludo,
Na gidigbo we fight, no be judo,
Na so so lie them tell, no be truth o!
Na akwa ocha we wear, no be suit o!
It’s Tru Mantra, I say it’s Tru Mantra,
The thing wey I dey talk e harsh,
No time for banter!
Them say make we come chop buffet,
Them say na them sabi the way,
But na marathon be this, no be sprint,
E be like say we no read fine print.
Chorus:
Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread, (4x)
Buy butter bread, make you buy butter, buy bread, (2x)
Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread,
Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread.
Verse:
Buy the bread, but never sell it,
If you buy the bread,
Then you better share it,
Never paid the price, but got the bread.
Homie, you too, you too can get the bread,
Not talking about the bread that you’re chasing,
In fact, this bread, He’s the one that’s chasing,
Get the bread/ get the water/ get the lamb.
That’s what I call the best deal ever,
This bread will last forever,
Eat the bread, it’s still gonna be whole,
Go to the streets/ tell them to come/ it’s time to feast.
Taste and see/ you’ll see/ and know it’s good,
We got the bread, that’s why we’re always good,
When smell the aroma, they’ll be running in,
You need that bread, you need Him in your life.
That’s why they call Him the bread of life.
Chorus:
Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread, (4x)
Buy butter bread, make you buy butter, buy bread, (2x)
Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread,
Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread.
Verse:
Life is a market and everyone in it is a trader,
Anakin today but tomorrow you could be Darth Vader,
Enforcer of the law, tomorrow you could be evader,
Larger than life yesterday, tomorrow buried 6 feet under.
So ponder the blunder, it all falls, asunder,
Nothing the world gives is permanent, e no dey last,
Nothing the world gives is guaranteed, you still carry last,
So many people have spiritual myopia.
Forget the sales pitch, this world is no utopia,
There’s only one good deal, only one offer that counts,
Take hold of the bread of life, He’ll always balance your account.
Bridge:
Omo na chess be this, no be ludo,
Na gidigbo we fight, no be judo,
Na so so lie them tell, no be truth o!
Na akwa ocha we wear, no be suit o!
