    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

    References to Djibril Diop Mambéty’s Touki Bouki (1973) in shots with artists on the bike. Its a classic Senegalese film set in Dakar, a kind of stylish African Bonnie and Clyde. Big up the artistic director for bringing it to attention of new generation, and defo check it out if you can!

      Only that she is a woman and support women whereas Fela kuti said that women have no worth but own them and have sex with them.
      It's sad that big personalities in all part of the world often have also a dark side with them. Maybe it's because last century society was still so brutaly sexist we cannot even imagine...

    I love the music, Obongjya has a beautiful voice and Simz's flow makes the world go round.
    This music does not ask for permission to groove you..the music just grabs you and make you groove. I am sitting up here watching the video and the next thing I know my body just started grooving.
    Well done ya'll.

    This is a masterpiece visually and musically. Definitely a nod to Fela and Nigerian rich culture. So many rich colours loved the styling everything was intentional. The messaging had so many levels to it. The expectations of our parents, the corrupt with politicians and police. The symbolic nature of the cutlass and the unapologetic Black Love is beautiful if we move has a unit message. Black people and expression is not a monolith. It also gave me Queen & Slim vibez at the end it’s us against the system. It was dope but l expected to be ,very blaxploitation inspired, bloody here for it ❤️🤗🎬💫🎼🌍✊🏾
