[Intro]
Eh-eh, OG!
(OG ICE)
Hear the drums, hear the night
King of control, walking in moonlight
[Verse 1]
Lagos lights paint my silhouette, market songs in the air
Footsteps sync with the talking drum, elders whisper, I prepare
Sunset on the savannah, I carry roots like gold
Palm wine memories, stories told — steady hands, heart cold
I move like river water — smooth, precise, never rushed
In the small hours of the city, my shadow keeps its hush
Drum talk calling, ancestors nod — I answer with a vow
OG ICE, calm in the storm, I bend time, I bend now
[Pre‑Chorus]
Deep as ocean gutters, quiet as the first rain
A fire under ice, a steady pulse in my veins
[Chorus]
I'm the king of control — OG ICE, feel the flow (eh-eh, OG!)
Heart and mind aligned — watch the rhythm grow (feel it, feel it)
From market stalls to the sky, my story echoes bold
I'm the king of control — OG ICE, soul of gold (eh-eh, OG!)
[Verse 2]
Drums speak in syncopation, they carve my steady way
Horns cut through the twilight, brass like summer clay
I move past broken bargains, past nights of empty bars
Picked up every scar like beads strung on my heart
There’s power in the silence, discipline in the song
Control ain't chokehold — it's knowing where you belong
Under neon and gutter, I plant a seed and let it grow
OG ICE, I hold the lines, I spin the story slow
[Pre‑Chorus — Short]
Deep like ocean, calm like dawn
A tempered flame keeps me strong
[Chorus — Variation]
I'm the king of control — OG ICE, feel the flow (eh-eh, OG!)
But every crown has weight; some nights the wind's a blow
From the roots to the sky, I let a secret show
I’m the king of control — OG ICE, still I know (eh-eh, OG!)
[Bridge — Vulnerability]
There were late calls I missed, laughter left on the street
I traded warmth for order, steady hands for beating heat
What control cost was quiet rooms and a hollow in the song
Sometimes I sit with ghosts and wonder where I belong
But the drum says keep walking, the horn brings me back home
Control’s not absence of feeling — it's choosing how to roam
[Percussion Break]
[Drums talk — call-and-response]
"OG!" — "Ice!" — "King!" — "Control!"
[Chorus — Final, Layered]
I'm the king of control — OG ICE, feel the flow (eh-eh, OG!)
Heart and mind aligned — watch the rhythm grow (feel it, feel it)
From the market to the savannah, my story been told
I'm the king of control — OG ICE, soul of gold (eh-eh, OG!)
[Horn Stab / Backing Vocals]
O‑o‑o, OG! (eh-eh)
O‑o‑o, Ice! (feel the flow)
[Outro]
King of control, OG ICE reigns — not perfect, just whole
In the rhythm of our people, I hold my place, I hold my role
Deep and soulful, vibrant and true — drums bless every road
OG ICE, the king of control — carrying the load
(eh-eh, OG!)
