Davido & Black Sherif – “Amazing Grace” Lyrics
Verse 1: Davido
Plenty times before
I don try this game called “love”
Yeah
And all the times before
You, I was never really sure
And I met the perfect girl at the right time
Omo, the right time
Just when I needed you the most
Showed up when I needed you the most
Oh, I was living crazy
Trust me, girl, you saved me
Love sweeter when money dey
So them say
Show me all the sweetest love
Chorus: Davido
You are my wildfire, eh
How you light up the way, brighten my day
Amazing grace
You’re my only, only, oh, my one and only love
How you light up the way, brighten my day
Amazing, amazing grace
Verse 2: Black Sherif
You are my sunshine, everybody knows
Woman, you give me love, my one and only antidote
The life you want, I’m telling you, lady, say no more
Make all the options dem go eeny, meeny, miny, moe

You love to sing, mama, can I play this guitar?
Ha bɛmaa wonsa ma wonsa, darling
Darling
Calling, check your phone, I was calling
Trying to get a hold of you for time, babe
Abantia me hwɛ wo dom, that’s alignment
No disturbing, yes tonight I’m with the wifey
Dancing in the fire ’cause I’m lovesick
If something fi pull me down, it’s the one thing
I’m asking from you, sɛn da wa me, sɛn be wa me
Girl, you know I stand by you
Chorus: Davido
You are my wildfire, eh
How you light up the way, brighten my day
Amazing grace
You’re my only, only, oh, my one and only love
