Burna Boy – Higher Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look me dada
As my dreadlocks are longer
I know say right now na my time, I no go waste am rara
I go use am dada (I go use am dada)
You know say Hennessy na bastard
I dey sip am jeje, o
So if I do you wrong, I apologise
All the people wey dey sympathise
Na God go make them larger (larger, larger)[Chorus]
Make me go higher (higher)
I no wan manya (manya)
My feelings don dey rise
Walima wa haya (ohh, wa haya)
Make me go higher (higher)
I no wan maya
My feelings don dey rise
Walima wa haya
Look me dada
As my dreadlocks are longer
I know say right now na my time, I no go waste am rara
I go use am dada (I go use am dada)
You know say Hennessy na bastard
I dey sip am jeje, o
So if I do you wrong, I apologise
All the people wey dey sympathise
Na God go make them larger (larger, larger)[Chorus]
Make me go higher (higher)
I no wan manya (manya)
My feelings don dey rise
Walima wa haya (ohh, wa haya)
Make me go higher (higher)
I no wan maya
My feelings don dey rise
Walima wa haya
[Verse 2]
You know say streets don’t love you rara
It’s full of snakes and spiders
Make a wrong move, lose your life
Make it hard for your mother to sleep at night
Streets no love you rara
Some people dey for mortuary
Some people dey for hospital
Count your blessings one by one
S’ọpẹ ti ẹ, time has come
To lift our voices, ah-ah-ah
Lift my voice in prayer
