    Lyrics:
    Huh, I do as I want
    I do as I like
    I no watch face
    I no fear nobody, nobody
    I do as I want
    I do as I like
    I no watch face
    I no fear nobody, nobody
    Point and kill
    If I want it
    Its mine
    You can’t stop me hey
    Family no go suffer oh
    Inna my lifetime
    Dey be fine do am proper
    No lie lie
    Give me strength let me prosper
    Daddy say he want me to be lawyer abi doctor
    Riff raff kiddi cohn
    Window shopper
    Oya fine boy
    Take away auntie
    Bougie ah Eleyi O wa fancy
    When I see it I
    Point and kill
    If I want it
    Its mine
    You can’t stop me hey
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me huh
    I do as I want
    I do as I like
    I no watch face
    I no fear nobody, nobody
    Said I do as I want
    I do as I like
    I no watch face
    I no fear nobody, no fear nobody
    Emini paid what can you offer?
    Snakes in the grass no trust am
    Point and kill any impostor
    Want me to appear
    It go cost am
    Smooth travel never stuck in customs
    That’s in any city you can come and see it with me
    Reality will hit you cos not everywhere is pretty
    But for now bring the Naira come gimme
    Can’t stop greatness what the point in trying
    Hard not to recognise with all this pressure we applying
    Tell me people rise up can never be silenced
    You think were apologetic I think were defiant
    Mummy say I gotta be a go go getter
    Got the devil tryna temp me but I know better
    Never been the type to not acknowledge all the signs
    Its a fact that everything I want is in front of my eyes
    So when I see it I
    Point and kill
    If I want it
    Its mine
    You can’t stop me huh
    Point and kill
    Point and kill
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me
    Point and kill
    You can’t stop me oh
    You cant stop me

The horns, the retro funky 60s fashion, the screenplay concept, spoken word-esque rap lyrics, everything. Fela and James Brown would be pleased! I hope Little Simz and Obongjayar keep this style up!
