“Despacito” (featuring FOLA) is one of the most melodic cuts on No Excuses—a sultry blend of Afropop sensuality and confident swagger that finds Blaqbonez in his most playful and tender form. This is Blaq’s version of slow-burning affection, filtered through humour, ego, and heart. FOLA’s smooth, so...
[Pre-Chorus: FOLA]
Abena, oh, I fit to reason you all I've got (All I've)
But you said it's not enough ('Nough)
Mi o ro pe o n'ìgbàgbọ́, ko ma ye mi o
Do you even trust in us?
I've been reminiscing when you screaming on top your voice
Remember I told you I've been warming up, oh
La ti jo mo ti n ba e so
L'eni, l'eni o, na today you go hear how I work
[Chorus: FOLA]
So, balance it o (Ṣe ìyẹn ni ka ma ri ro?)
I no go play you like El Clásico
No pour sand, sand for my garri o
Orente ma yari o
Ko ye kọrin fun mi bi Despacito, oh ah, yeah
[Verse 1: Blaqbonez]
Yeah, yeah
Ahn, you tryna run game, she like, "Shege banza"
The girl so ahead like she read the manga
Runnin' through the forest like I'm Elanga
'Cause you're my destination and I need you now now
Me and my girl, flying business
Out in Paris for the Olympics
Fashion week, you can't miss this
She knows that Imma put in the lyrics, huh
[Refrain: Blaqbonez]
Audemars Piguet, on top my princess
Wale Adenuga presents her, oh
Ṣe, you no remember? Last year, December
When you love me jeje and I love you, bend down
[Pre-Chorus: FOLA]
Abena, oh, I fit to reason you all I've got (All I've)
But you said it's not enough ('Nough)
Mi o ro pe o n'ìgbàgbọ́, ko ma ye mi o
Do you even trust in us?
I've been reminiscing when you screaming on top your voice
Remember I told you I've been warming up, oh
La ti jo mo ti n ba e so
L'eni, l'eni o, na today you go hear how I work
[Chorus: FOLA]
So, balance it o (Ṣe ìyẹn ni ka ma ri ro?)
I no go play you like El Clásico
No pour sand, sand for my garri o
Orente ma yari o
Ko ye kọrin fun mi bi Despacito, oh ah, yeah
[Verse 2: Blaqbonez]
Don't wake the neighbours, girl dey hate us, you know
There's no hesitation when I see you, it's gone
I come first, I'm most surprise-est
She get stats, still pass the eye test
And she dey vex when I turn to opposite sex
Put her in check when I put some ice on her neck
She swear she hate me but she love the life we living
She contemplating leaving me but she ain't leaving
I, fuck her like we dey settle a score
She, she let me land my rocket like Elon Musk
[Refrain: Blaqbonez]
Audemars Piguet, on top my princess
Wale Adenuga presents her, oh
Se, you no remember? Last year, December
When you love me jeje and I love you, bend down
[Pre-Chorus: FOLA]
Abena, oh, I fit to reason you all I've got (All I've)
But you said it's not enough ('Nough)
Mi o ro pe o n'ìgbàgbọ́, ko ma ye mi o
Do you even trust in us?
I've been reminiscing when you screaming on top your voice
Remember I told you I've been warming up, oh
L'atijo mo ti n ba e so
L'eni, l'eni o, na today you go hear how I work
[Chorus: FOLA]
So, balance it o (Ṣe ìyẹn ni ka ma ri ro?)
I no go play you like El Clásico
No pour sand, sand for my garri o
Orente ma yari o
Ko ye kọrin fun mi bi Despacito, oh ah, yeah
