Lyrics

Replay

[Intro]

Yeah-yeah, yeah, no, woah, oh, oh-oh

Yeah-yeah, yeah, mm

Mm, mm-hmm, mm

[Verse 1]

Oh, my voice is a mystery

But they always tryna diss me

Same guys tryna get in my way

Keep the same vibe, you can't ruin my day

Oh, my voice is a mystery

Ride the wave of my history

I've been distant to keep my distance

Goodbye to a boring life

I like to seek but I'm never in sight

Even though many times you're right

I like to care but e never reach fight

Swinging my waist like you never did see

And then I roll like I really get baked

And you can't believe what you heard about me

It's the magic for me

They keep trying to reach me, yeah, yeah

It's the magic for me

I make them weep 'til they run insane

So get me lit on a weekday

I'm on the way and my ways on a display

And I'ma shut 'em all down one of these days

It's my time so put me on a replay

[Bridge]

Who this guy wey dey say he wan try me?

Who this guy wey dey wanna come play me?

Who this guy wey dey say they wan break?

Who this guy wey dey say they wan shake?

All this time wey they say they wan break me?

All this time wey they think they wan take me?

Who this guy that he say wan pa mi?

Who this guy wey he wanna define me?

I've been 'round the world, nah, nah, nah

And when they call, boy, nah me they call (Oh, ah-ah, ah-ah, oh, ah)

[Verse 2]

Back then when I ain't have no friends

And yah condescend but I really won't rest see

Even though bro, I could let you go

But I really wan show that you really can't test me

Even on days, when they tried to arrest me

But you live a lie, there's no way you could get me

Pissed em off, they locked me up in a celly

Then e shock dem when they see me on the telly

You know, I'm a vibe and I run it as usual

I didn't only come around just to make it

And I could shake things but I'll break it

You name it boy

Who knew I won't care for the things that you do?

I could turn let everyone try me

'Cause you never gonna get what is for me

Yeah-uh

[Outro]

Back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back

Back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back

Back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back

Back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back

Back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back then, back
