Davido – “Zanzibar” Lyrics
Intro
When I’m cold, you’re there to keep me warm
When I’m sad, my pain you wash away
When I’m lost, you’re there to lead the way
You’re my yesterday and forever (Don’t worry)

Oh, I’m lucky
You are more than a blessing
See me laughing
You give me excess joy
Your love is enough
Oh, I’m drawn to your body
The silence is over
My heart is so loud

Zanzibar, na the place I go to
Na where I meet my lolo

She give me love, I loco
Her love is enough
