Lyrics to Ire by Adekunle Gold
Verse 1
The grass is greener on the other side
That’s what I thought before I took the ride
I burned my bridges, so I never look back
Pre chorus
But if I had known
The life I was searching for is looking me right in the eye, oh
If I had known the life I was searching for was already my own
Ire b’enile (Ire, ayo) (May goodness come to your abode; joyful goodness.)
Chorus
Ire, ire, ire (Goodness 3x)
Ire, ire, ayo (Goodness, goodness, joy)
O ‘npemi (O’npemi kin ma bo) (It is calling me. It is calling me to come.)
Oni kin ma bo (Ire) (It says I should come; goodness.)
Oni ki ma bo (It says I should come.)
Ire (Goodness.)
Ire, ire, ire (Ire) (Goodness (3x)

Verse 2
The grass is greener when you water the ground
That’s what I found when I took the ride
I realized the mountain I’ve climbing is nothing but sand, oh
I didn’t know I already had the answer
No, I didn’t know
Pre-chorus
For if I had known (If I had known)
The life I was searching for was looking me right in the eye, oh
If I had known the life I was searching for was already my own.
