Burna Boy – Dey Play (Lyrics)

[Intro]
Dey play

[Verse 1]
No be chys oh
Make we dey check for delight, oh
Ọlọhun
Àti wise oh, a dẹ tí economize, oh
Ọlọhun
On a mission, how many men follow me come?
Ọlọhun
No dey think am
Àkóbá adaba, Ọlọhun má jaa ri

[Chorus]
Ehen, ekelebe Jesu
Eke-ekelebe Jesu
I’m hunting, move like I’m speed racing
So fast they couldn’t believe it
Ehen, ekelebe Jesu
Eke-ekelebe Jesu
I’m hunting, move like I’m speed racing
So fast they couldn’t believe it

[Verse 2]
Dropped out of school from the first day
My teacher no get money
And my dawgs [?] make them come, ayy
Last time I check, I was ballin’
On a Sunday
Open the bank on a Sunday
Olohun, for God’s sake
Shey no dey see money walk, ayy
One Ferrari, dey play
Two Lamborghini, dey play, Maybach, dey play
Drop top the Rolls-Royce, dey play
Soon I go wake up in a new Bugatti, dey play

[Chorus]
Ehen, ekelebe Jesu
Eke-ekelebe Jesu
I’m hunting, move like I’m speed racing
So fast they couldn’t believe it
Ehen, ekelebe Jesu
Eke-ekelebe Jesu
I’m hunting, move like I’m speed racing
So fast they couldn’t believe it

[Verse 3]
Ooh, too many mileage
Man never sleep for like nine days
Phone dey vibrate, dem dey find me
If na fine babe, make she slidin’
Oya je a lọ Jaye, lọ dó lai shade
Alhaji Bashiru kowo wole
Dey play, just dey play
Straight from Archipelago
Private jet ni ma n fà agbo
Omo, these days dem just dey take the trap like Joke
But dem dey trap like [?] (Woo-hoo)

[Chorus]
Ehen, ekelebe Jesu
Eke-ekelebe Jesu
I’m hunting, move like I’m speed racing
So fast they couldn’t believe it
Ehen, Ekelebe Jesu
Eke-ekelebe Jesu
I’m hunting, move like I’m speed racing
So fast they couldn’t believe it

[Outro]
My lord, I’ve thought of an idea
Come on out of it
This time I guarantee you’ll get what you want, but you’ll have to be patient
Why?
If you could be a little bit patient
Then I guarantee you’ll learn all of Wu-Tang’s secrets
