Lyrics

Solid

[Intro: Burna Boy]

Yeah

[Chorus: Burna Boy]

You the type I really vibe with

So I'll forever keep it solid

We go public or keep it private, yeah

Ain't no hesitation about it

No competition, they ain't got it like you got it

So I'll forever keep it solid

We go public or keep it private, yeah

Ain't no hesitation about it

[Refrain: Burna Boy]

And if I dey for you, na forever

We go dey vibe long as we dey together

Baby, no time, you know it's now or never

'Cause, baby, the way your body dey bounce no regular

There's ups and downs, but who said I'm perfect?

Love is beautiful, but it comes with hurting

The keys and purses may defeat the purpose

Love is really deeper than meets the surface, yeah

[Chorus: Blxst]

You the type I really vibe with

Hold me down, I'll forever keep it solid

We can go public or move in silence, yeah (Shee)

It ain't no hesitation about it

No competition, they don't got it like you got it

Hold me down, I'll forever keep it solid

We can go public or keep it private, yeah

It ain't no hesitation about it

[Verse 1: Burna Boy & Blxst]

Uh, you know the streets I'm juggling

But you the only piece I'm puzzling

Girl, you dey give me peace, no trouble, yeah

It's your choice, get a Rolls-Royce Cullinan

You know the bag gotta keep on coming in

Promise the only time I need to run it up again

I gotta make the streets freeze 'fore the summer end

I hope you understand, bring you back another win, yeah

[Chorus: Blxst]

You the type I really vibe with

Hold me down, I'll forever keep it solid

We can go public or move in silence, yeah (Shee)

It ain't no hesitation about it

No competition, they don't got it like you got it

Hold me down, I'll forever keep it solid

We can go public or keep it private, yeah

It ain't no hesitation about it

[Verse 2: Kehlani]

And if they ask, yeah

Make sure you don't lack, yeah

Make sure you on task for it, no cap on it

I like it when you brag on me

This shit deep for real

Deeper than what they see for real

I'm playing for keeps for real

Queen recognize queen for real, that's me for real, real

And they ain't know how to treat you

They ain't know how to keep you

Everyone before might as well keep score

On how to please you, maybe they ain't see you

[Chorus: Kehlani & Blxst]

You the type I really vibe with

Hold me down, I'll forever keep it solid

We can go public or move in silence

Ain't no hesitation about it, about it

No competition, they don't got it like you got it

Hold me down, I'll forever keep it solid

We can go public or keep it private, yeah

It ain't no hesitation about it

[Refrain: Burna Boy]

And if I dey for you, na forever

We go dey vibe long as we dey together

Baby, no time, you know it's now or never

'Cause, baby, the way your body dey bounce no regular

There's ups and downs, but who said I'm perfect?

Love is beautiful, but it comes with hurting

The keys and purses may defeat the purpose

Love is really deeper than meets the surface, yeah
