Naira Marley
I’m tryna put a ring on you
You see babe but it’s up to you
What do I even have to do?
Why can’t you just be my boo?
What the f-ck is postinor
Let’s have a baby now
Can we just stop wasting time?
I just want you to be mine
One Naira but I’m a billionaire
Them niggas that can’t come near
I know that you miss your ex
Do you miss him?
Don’t worry baby I’m your next
Busiswa: Mara ngiyam’khumbula vele (I am already missing him.)

Chorus (Busiswa and Naira Marley)
When you go low, I drop too
When you go high, I’m high too
When you go side to side to side to side to side to side to side
When you go round, I’m in my circle
Baby anywhere you go, I go go too. Anywhere you go I go go too (Baby, anywhere you go, I will go too.)
Baby anywhere you go, I go go too. Anywhere you go I go go too (Baby, anywhere you go, I will go too.)
