It's not easy to write down lyrics used by Igbo musicians but it can be a worthy challenge. One needs to at least have some fair understanding of Igbo to be able to write a fair breakdown of the lyrics.

I'm not sure about all the lines but corrections are welcome. Phyno is my man of the year when it comes to Igbo music. He is currently the hottest Igbo rapper as at now.

We need more Igbo artistes like Phyno and I'm loving this song titled Shutdown.

Lyrics
==========

Nnuku Mmawu
nu nnuku mmawu
nnuku mmawu
nu nnuku mmawu

Nnuku Mmawu puta n'ogbo
obele mmawu agbawa oso
nwa nne
ebe obuna anyi tu down
we bring the cameras out
n shut the city down

shut the city down
shut the city down
shut the city down
shu shut the city down

Nwanne o n'imaro n'onwere ndi nwe obodo (there are some people that run the town)
hey!
Jewe ni iso Go ahead cos your are among them.)

Abum anu agba egbe (I am an animal that is being shot at)
ona ata groundnut (while eating groundnut)
anam agba all these boys (I shoot all these boys)
with my catapult

Onye nwe oku na anya
E feelie n'idi fit
ka anyi kponyezie De
Onye gba oso mma ya

Kasa obi
making my money me I no send them
tell them
any rules here I go bend am

Guys hating on me jealousing me
I no blame them
I'm so blind to see you niggers
I Ray Charles them

Ha na amacha ka ha eji cha
si ha tuo down here ka anyi gbuo ha sam
Cos the way I'm getting paid
ha che nam no n'otu
And I left them on the same spot
Ala wu otu

Heeee! I'm fresh
I'm the reason why they expire
I go higher
I'm so fire

Nwanne kupu n'uzo ka m pia tire
Some niggas are fake
made in china

So go tell your best man that I'm iller
I put down for my city like Mandela
hia! Ogbara nkiti okwu juru onu
n'eme ihe di oke onu
Umu asa suo m onu

Muah! Anytime wey I pass you
you salute cos I pass you
And anything wey you fit do
make you know say I fit do am times two

E kupu go, sim turu ugo
Respect to Mr.raw I bu ezeugo
I'm fly never land like Amsterdam
so when niggas talk shit, ima answer them

Nnuku Mmawu puta n'ogbo
obele mmawu agbawa oso
nwa nne
ebe obuna anyi tu down
we bring the cameras out
n shut the city down

shut the city down
shut the city down
shut the city down
shu shut the city down

Adia agwa ochi nti na agha esu
Heee! anyi na aku, ndi osi imi a na esu
Shhhh! nwanne okwa isi kote ebu
So biko mulu anya, tupu iko gi eju
Aargh! I'm so greedy with the flow, never get enough
I tell my haters like my ex, you aint good enough

So I ask, "na who born you"?
You no fit hot like me even if them boil you

Ha! yieee! I rap omenala
so onye zuzuo anyi anwuo ya n'ala
Me I stand out to follow your lead. Lai Lai!
Even when them say hi, me I tell them bye bye
See I'm a real boss and I get boss
wey go make your boss feel like a cheap boss

A na m a go offor, mana a nagha m a go mmuo
And I flow spiritual, okala mmadu okala mmuo
Obata mmadu obata mmuo, Zelu mmadu zelu mmuo
Maka anyi daputa na ogbo
nwanne cha aka chele mu 'o

I spit easy, if you no like am free me
I can't leave now, the whole damn city needs me

Uwa na aga aga
egwu obula m tinye aka o na aba aba
Biko hapu ya like that nwanne ka o aka aka
All thanks to almighty God okaka

Eergh!
no escapades, more escalades
And everyone looking at me like a masquerade
Cos my beat is the killer. serial
And I flow so bloody. Period
Hee

Nnuku Mmawu puta n'ogbo
obele mmawu agbawa oso
nwa nne
ebe obuna anyi tulu down
we bring the cameras out
n shut the city down

shut the city down
shut the city down
shut the city down
shu shut the city down

I bu odelugo
I bu nnekwu mmanwu
Hey! aka ekpuchie onwa
I bu nnekwu mmanwu
Hey! okoro ka eji eme onu
I bu nnekwu mmanwu
Eselu n'elu ego, nwa bialu ije n'ekele
Chiaka enyi oha,
efele nkuwa one

Hey!
they call me Phyno the playmaker baby
