About This Track

Rema opens 'DND' with a declaration of self-assurance that borders on defiance. The track moves through Yoruba and English, its protagonist exhausted by the performance of humility and tired of being underestimated. He's done too many "Ps and Qs", he raps, and now anyone who crosses him gets blocked, put on do-not-disturb. The song trades in the language of social friction: people want to swallow his words, bully him, chase his wins. His answer is withdrawal and a kind of weaponised indifference. The production sits somewhere between trap and Afrobeats, all snap and space. Rema's delivery is conversational but pointed, moving between boasts and complaints without much ceremony. He references his confidence as something independent of chart success, his solo hits as proof of a different kind of power. The refrain lands hard because it's simple: put you on DND, keep your eye sharp, watch how you move around me. It's the sound of someone who has decided that civility is no longer the cost of entry.

"DND" is a track by Rema , from the album RAVAGE - EP, released 26th October 2023. The track is 2:46 long. It's filed under Afrobeats. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

DND

(Uno, dos, tres)
Banger (banger, banger)

(P, P)
Another banger

Mo tún ti dé, láti dagború, o ṣé
Me wey be wèrè
Óyá, gawú oh, gawú
Shey you no dey see say I just drop gbẹ'du, ayy?
Them talk say no be me be H-I-M, okay na
You go come tell me na who oh, na who
Make humility no go turn me màlúù (màlúù, màlúù)

Because if I talk one, they go wan swallow me, ayy
Shey I wan good, shey I wan bad
Shey I wan real, shey I wan fake (me I no do again)
Oya, see wins, now they wan shallow wins, say
They wan dey bully me, ọmọ, I don too calm
Talk my shit right up in your face, me I no dey shakе

I don do too much Ps and Qs, right now, I go put you on DND
Keep your eye sharpen bеcause e get as you go move around me wey you fit end up for DND
I dey waka without security because I shuck one ṣakabùlà inside my GLE
Ayy, ó ṣe o, ó wà n'bí
Even ẹ'gbọ'n dey collect DND

Bàbá wọn
E sure for me, my confidence
No rely on any number one
Too many solo hits una go dey call me Solomon (Solomon)
Girls dey chew gum
Because they sabi say I be idán
Ọmọ, make I no too talk, make I sofri sit down

Because if I talk one, they go wan swallow me, ayy
Shey I wan good, shey I wan bad
Shey I wan real, shey I wan fake (me I no do again)
Óyá, see wins, now they wan shallow wins, say
They wan dey bully me, ọmọ, I don too calm
Talk my shit right up in your face, me I no dey shakе

I don do too much Ps and Qs, right now, I go put you on DND
Keep your eye sharpen bеcause e get as you go move around me wey you fit end up for DND
I dey waka without security because I shuck one ṣakabùlà inside my GLE
Ayy, o ṣé o, o wá n'bí
Even ẹ'gbọ'n dey collect DND

I don do too much Ps and Qs, right now, I go put you on DND
Keep your eye sharpen bеcause e get as you go move around me wey you fit end up for DND
I dey waka without security because I shuck one ṣakabùlà inside my GLE
Ayy, o ṣé o, o wá nbí
Even ẹ'gbọ'n dey collect DND
