Lyrics

Suru

[Intro: Asake]

Wa, wa

Surulere, wa

P

[Chorus: Asake]

My mama tell me say surulere (Surulere gan ni)

To ba focus o ma gbọpe (O ma kere gan ni)

Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣe Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)

Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)

Ko sẹni to ye rara, Iṣe Oluwa ko sẹni to ye

[Verse 1: Stormzy]

Yeah

Tears might fall from my eyes only this time

Can hear my mums crying and my sis crying

'Cause I just won a MOBO for the 6th time

I let my soul glow and my wrist shine

Remember back in 2013 you were giving me an earful

Now it's lit when I drop into the airport

I took a leap of faith and it scared you

We go mеrk and I let you pick a vehicle

Nеver had food but you catered

Came at a cost but you paid it

Don't know how we did but we made it

Highly blessed and favoured

Now my Tom Ford's all tailored

God's children can never be failures

Mysterious ways that he works in, but he's still working, certain

[Chorus: Asake]

My mama tell me say surulere (Surulere gan ni)

To ba focus o ma gbọpe (O ma kere gan ni)

Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣe Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)

Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)

Ko sẹni to ye rara, Iṣe Oluwa ko sẹni to ye

[Verse 2: Asake]

Mo n gbadura

Lojo'jumo mo fi n pe ya Allahu

Owo yẹn wọle, it's allowed

Ọkan mi balẹ emi o fọ, emi o fọ o

Yah Baba

Iwọ lo le gba mi Baba

Mo fẹ trabaye wọ kaba

Ẹlẹda ma jẹ kin kalas, ki n kalas

Forget ẹ ọmọ gbagbe yẹn

More blessings incoming, I can tell

Iwọ t'on r'ọkan, sọpe ti ẹ

Gba ko jẹ, o ya ka ko jẹ

Mama say ma lọ ma gara ju

Kupe kupe ma lo ma se așeju

Lati SS2, mo ti n kọrin mi o dẹ sun

Oluwa sọ mi o dẹ silekun, ẹ fi lẹ fun

[Chorus: Asake]

My mama tell me say surulere (Surulere gan ni)

To ba focus o ma gbọpe (O ma kere gan ni)

Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Iṣe Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)

Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye (Isẹ Oluwa ko sẹni to ye)

Ko sẹni to ye rara, Iṣe Oluwa ko sẹni to ye

[Outro: Stormzy]

Tears won't fall from my eyes but my chest hurts

I'd cry to the Lord can it get worse

I was kinda cool where I was cah it's less work

You gotta dream better dive it in it head first

This wasn't a dream it was more like a plan I believed in

My detour had Abigail seething

Rachael telling her to leave him

I put her through all five stages of grieving

Denying my minds set, anger was direct, you bargained with me but I had to decline it

Sad for a while, never smiled but you left it

I said mum now you got accept it

One day, imma be a star, I swear

One day, imma go far, I swear

God has a plan, so I have no fear, no fear
