“Alibi” is a 2024 pop song by UK Singer Ella Henderson. It’s prominently based on the iconic “Gangstas Paradise” by Coolio, from which it copies melody and song structure, as well as sampling parts of the original song in the instrumental.
[Chorus: Ella Henderson]
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I'm lightin' up the sky, settin' fire to your paradise
You ain't got no, you ain't got no, you ain't got no alibi
You ain't got no, you ain't got no, you ain't got no alibi
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I'm lightin' up the sky, settin' fire to your paradise
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I'm lightin' up the sky, settin' fire to your paradise
You ain't got no, you ain't got no, you ain't got no alibi
You ain't got no, you ain't got no, you ain't got no alibi
[Verse: Ella Henderson]
Gotta say I'm sorry and that liquor made me
Your mama never tell you how to treat a lady?
By this time tomorrow, you gon' really hate mе
Bet you wish you never playеd me
You took her in our bed, you got no respect
What did you expect? Now I burned this house down
To the left, I'm on to the next
I'ma get my sweet revenge
[Pre-Chorus: Ella Henderson]
Tell me, how do you lie so easily?
You've been messin' with her, don't mess with me, yeah
Tell me, how do you lie so easily?
You've been messin' with her, don't mess with me
[Chorus: Ella Henderson]
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I'm lightin' up the sky, settin' fire to your paradise
You better run and hide, baby, I know where you were last night
So I'm lightin' up the sky, settin' fire to your paradise
[Outro]

You got no alibi
(You ain't got no, you ain't got no, you ain't got no alibi)
Oh, no

(You ain't got no, you ain't got no, you ain't got no alibi)
You ain't got no alibi
