Lyrics [ Cheat On Me ]
[Intro]
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me

No be everybody be believer
Anytime that I double up I deliver
Anytime any arena, ‘rena

Before you start to criticize, consider, oh, consider, oh
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me

[Verse 1: Burna Boy]
Getting bigger, oh, I swear down

And they do not intend to permanently leave town
Standing my feet down, me, I be leader, oh

Every day, kilome—, kilome—, kilometre, oh
Just like I’m deep down, then you go see say (I was cheating on, cheating on—)

[Chorus: Burna Boy]

[Verse 2: Dave]
For the fact I had to fight for my visa

My woman got incredible features
Me and Oluwa Burna, we fly to Ibiza
Make you no deny me my Visa
Bring a likkle gyal a likkle reefer
It’s cheaper to keep her
She don’t wanna stay, haffi leave her
No be everybody be believer
Hennessy, Casamigos, it’s all in the car
I’m Asamoah Gyan, the way I hit the bar
Fine boy, no pimple, no tats
I got a V12 under the bonnet, she got plaits
I’m Mario, my princess got a peach
In my Rolls-Royce seats, so repeat
Genevilla must a come with a beach
One for the street
Four, five, this toast doesn’t come with a speech, you know?
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
[Refrain: Burna Boy]
Me, I just wan make my people dey visa, visa
So I give dem my heart and my liver
If e dey stress you, make you leave am, leave am
No be everybody be believer
Anytime that I pull up I deliver
Anytime any arena, ‘rena
I be caught on like Jesus
Before you start to criticize, consider, oh, consider, oh
[Bridge: Burna Boy]
If I ever said I loved you
Then I’ll always be by your side
If you call on me then I’ll slide
You already know we outside
And I know you go ride
Anytime I call on you
If I ever said I loved you
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on (Me, I just want see my people dem—)
[Outro: Burna Boy]
Getting bigger, oh, I swear down

They do not intend to permanently leave town
Me, I be leader, oh
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me
