[Chorus]
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
[Verse 1]
Play me? Play me?
You no be knight, you no fit save me
Na mi be prize, I do the upgrading
You see my life no need complicating
The game you spit? That’s weak
No fit sweep me off my feet
Ok you tried, that’s sweet
Now back up, give me 15 feet
I’m off that, I got my own it’s all facts
Bebe on the track…it’s gon slap
I dey find chop, I no dey find snack
If you no understand fall back
Chasing the bag not a man
I want it all, yeah that’s the plan
I’ll have it all, yeah if I can
Music to my ears, just like a band
[Chorus]
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
[Verse 2]
Na love, it’s love
Been here before, don seen what it does
Settled for cheats, settled for scrubs
Settled for less, it was what it was
That na then, this be now
No be so, iy go go down
Strong enough to stand my ground
I dey lift me up and hold me down (Hmmm)
Gonna take more than a pretty little face
Sweet, sweet words in my space
No dey play hard, no dey play chase
If I wanted to, you’d be laid up in my space
Good friends? Got that
New gear? Copped that
Bottles? Popped that
Cuffing season? Cropped that
[Chorus]
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
Banjo (Banjo)
Banjo (Banjo)
Said he wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
He wanna play me like a banjo (Banjo)
Pull my strings like a banjo (Banjo)
Hold on tight like a handle (Handle)
If he see me on sight that man know
