LYRICS

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

Buy butter bread, make you buy butter, buy bread

Buy butter bread, buy butter, buy bread

VERSE 1

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

Infact, 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

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 2

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!
