I Go Chop Your Dollar is about running the Nigerian scam written and performed by Nkem Owoh, a Nigerian singer and actor. The lyrics are below.
Verse 1
I don suffer, no be small
Upon say I get sense
Poverty no good at all, no
Na him make I join this business
419 no be thief, it's just a game
Everybody dey play am
If anybody fall mugu,
Ha, my brother I go chop am
Chorus
National Airport na me get am
National Stadium na me build am
President na my sister brother
You be the mugu, I be the master
Oyinbo man I go chop your dollar
I go take your money and disappear
419 is just a game
You are the loser, I am the winner
The refinery na me get am
The contract, na you I go give am
But you go pay me small money make I bring am
You be the mugu, I be the master
Na me be the master oh
Verse 2
When Oyinbo play wayo
Dem go say na new style
When country man do him own
Them go dey shout
Bring am, kill am, die!
But Oyinbo people greedy (dem greedy)
I say them greedy (dem greedy)
I don't see them tire
That's why when they fall into my trap o
I dey show them fire

Mugu is a scammers term for a victim; big fool.
419 is of course the Nigerian or advanced-fee scam.
