Davido – “On The Road” Lyrics
Intro
Yeah
L-L-Louddaaa
Chorus
On the road, oh
I’ve always been on the road, oh
I never stop, I dey go
Life I dey live e be on the road
On the go, man always be setting goals
I know the kind life I want
Na why I gats to dey on the road
Verse 1
You see me living lavish, but many can’t understand it
Say I dey put hard work into practise, my body no gree me
Relax until you hear this song
This na the life wey I just go beat em
As I dey pack, abi it’s just no be my fault?
They no fit destroy wetin Oluwa don construct
But every time I lead, them still dеy follow
Chorus
On the road, oh
I’ll always be on the road, oh

Life I dey live e be on the road
On the go, man always be setting goals
I know the kind life I want
Na why I gats to dey on the road
Verse 2
I still make time for family and friends ’cause all work and no play
Makes Davido another man with no face
Dey ball every time ’cause I’m a man with no fears
Trust and obey, that’s the meaning
So many times, love make you no put me for mind

Good time, better time, timeless is alright
Win next one you go know, yeah
Chorus
On the road, oh
