“It’s Plenty,” by Burnaboy Lyrics Translation

Intro/Chorus

Gbe mi trabaye, make you no dey shalaye (Take me high, and stop explaining.)

I don’t want nobody to give my matter k-leg

For this life I dey, I want to be celebrated (I want to be celebrated in this life I am in.)

Don’t wanna waste my days

I want to spend them on enjoyment

It’s plenty oh-ah, order Hennessy oh-ah

Won ni won wa mi, ah ah ah ah, everyday party, ah (They said they are looking for me; every day is a party.)

Verse 1

As e dey knack the gbedu (As he is playing the music)

Start to dey move, start to dey move (Start moving.)

Like you smoke kalaku (Like you smoked Indian Hemp)

Just dey bounce dey groove, no carry do (Just keep bouncing an grooving.)

If you loose guard dey go bounce with your boo

I can vouch for my crew, I’m telling you

Them too dey do, lifestyle of a crook

Make you dance no dey look (Dance, and not look.)

Dem go dey look, dem go dey look (They would be looking.)

Pre-chorus

Then say if it’s not enough (They said it is not good.)

If I do 99 good e go remain one (If I do “99,” good, it will remain one.)

I don’t know how to show you, my love, without fvcking up

But I can buy you a new AP straight from A Jewellers

Chorus

Gbe mi trabaye, make you no dey shalaye (Take me high, and stop explaining.)

I don’t want nobody to give my matter k-leg

For this life I dey, I want to be celebrated

Don’t wanna waste my days

It’s plenty oh-ah, order Hennessy oh-ah

Won ni won wa mi, ah ah ah ah, everyday party, ah (They said they are looking for me; every day is a party.)

Verse 2

Do me like I take tramadol (React on me like I took tramadol)

Don’t want to feel nothing at all (Okay)

E be like ojuju calabar (It is like voodoos.)

Give me moral like I be bouncer (Give me moral like I am a bouncer.)

M’on para gan, take me high I don’t want to land, oh (I am angry, take me high, I don’t want to land.)

Up till now, I don’t understand why

Pre-chorus

No matter what I do, it’s not enough

If I do 99 good e go remain one (If I do “99,” good, it would remain one.)

I don’t know how to show you, my love, without fvcking up

Wahali I’m faded, I just dey shake head (Honestly, I am faded, I am just shaking my head.)

Forget the label (Forget the label.)

Chorus

Gbe mi trabaye, make you no dey shalaye (Take me high, and stop explaining.)

For this life I dey, I want to be celebrated (I want to be celebrated in this life I am in.)
