Never Stopped by Buju Lyrics Translation
Verse 1
See, sunshine I hit, get off the sheets
I say a little prayer and I burn a spliff
Because I still dey breath, I’m on my feet (Because I am still breathing. I am on my feet.)
And I know tonnes of niggas still hoping I quit Jigga
Ma shit legit, ko si elomi (My shit is legit; there is no one else.)
Not where I want to be yet so I still dey push Jigga (Not where I want to be; I am still pushing it.)
And I don’t ever fail to bring the heat
And no nobody stopping this, so you can watch and see
Chorus
I’ve never stopped in my life, so tell me why would I stop now
Much to achieve in my life, I hustle till the sun come down
Can’t throw dirt on my hustle, my spirit you can’t bring it down
You know I’ve never stopped in my life, so tell me why
You think that I’ll stop now (ooh no no)
I’ve never stopped in my life, so tell me why would I stop now
Put as much to achieve in my life, I hustle till the sun come down
No you can’t throw dirt on my hustle
My spirit you can’t bring it down
You know I’ve never stopped in my life, so tell me why
You think that I’ll stop now
Verse 2
Para para! (Abgry!)
Who say Buju no fit sing go tell the motherf-cker (Who said Buju can’t sing? Go tell the person that…)
I drop 16 bars; I am your favorite rapper
I’m a singing nigga wey still sabi flow proper(I am the singing nigga that knows how to flow properly)
Big giant five —-, smell dinner
You’re looking at a mix of Burna Boy and 2Baba
With a sprinkle of Khalid and Frank Ocean sha
You get me sha
And you know say these people no dey my radar (And you know these people are not on my radar.)
See ayanfe mi gan gan oh oh (See my lover)
Ofe shemi —(She wants to—)
And she tell me when I don’t call
Tells me it’s an insult
Are you feeling tonight
You see the people jamming tonight
And when the music playing all night
Girl you know I’ll be doing you right
Later on in the night, you know
Chorus
I’ve never stopped in my life, so tell me why would I stop now
Much to achieve in my life, I hustle till the sun come down
Can’t throw dirt on my hustle, my spirit you can’t bring it down
You know I’ve never stopped in my life
So tell me why you think that I’ll stop now (ooh-no-no)
Repeat chorus
I’ve never stopped in my life, so tell me why would I stop now
Put as much to achieve in my life, I hustle till the sun come down
Well you can’t throw dirt on my hustle
My spirit you can’t bring it down
You know I’ve never stopped in my life
So tell me why you think that I’ll stop now
