He’s saying his ex was the love of his life and she broke his heart after he did so much for her. Basically saying Bye to the relationship even though it hurts him.I need igbo and shayo(means I need weed and alcohol)to numb the pain.Everybody go chop breakfast (means no matter how happy you are in your relationship,one of you will be served breakfast aka heartbroken in the end. It’s Nigerian Slang)

For those struggling to grasp what he’s saying, I will attempt an explanation because the lyrics are fire as well. As you can tell, it brilliantly samples Toni Braxton’s 2000 hit - wasn’t man enough. Intro Chant: ‘’E don cast, Last last Na everybody go chop breakfast Shayo o Aye! Shayo o Igbo o (Aye!)’’ Translation: Tragedy has happened, and we all are bound to experience some heartbreak Verse 1 ‘’You go bow for the result o Nothing to discuss o Cos I dey win by default And without any doubt o Omo me I be adult o I no go fit take your I no go fit take your insult o Omo mind as you dey talk o I put my life into my job and I know I'm in trouble She manipulate my love o, hmm’’ Translation: Here, he begins with a brag. Telling his competitors that they will be astonished by his results, and that the conversation about his status is over flogged - nothing to discuss. He declares himself a winner by default and won’t take any insult from anyone. However, despite his dedication to his craft, his heart is troubled because "she manipulated his love." (The subject of this manipulation, we assume, is Stefflon Don - his now ex British girlfriend) ‘’I no holy and I no denge pose Like Baba Fryo My eye o, don cry o I need igbo and shayo (shayo)’’ Translation: Here, he states that he is not holy or sanctimonious, and won’t front like his feelings were not hurt, given how much he has cried. And because of this, he cannot stay sober, so he "needs Igbo and Shayo" (weed and alcohol) to get over the pain. Verse 2 ‘’I dey Port Harcourt when dem kill Soboma I dey try to buy motor, one Toyota Corolla My feelings been dey swing like jangolova Feelings been dey swing like jangolova Now you crash your Ferarri for Lekki, Burna Na small thing remain, could have been all over My feelings still dey swing like jangolova Feelings still dey swing like’’ Translation: Burna recalls another heartbreak from 2010 when a freedom fighter and militant - Soboma George - from his troubled but oil rich hometown was killed. He also tries to reference how poor he was at the time, given that he was only dreaming of buying a sedan Toyota Corrolla, but a couple of years on, he got himself a Ferrari 458, which he crashed in Lagos in February 2022, as if to say, no matter your achievement or lack of, your feelings are always going to be swinging like a rollercoaster (jangolova). ‘’Ti ti, tim ba ni ke juru, e juru Omo why to ki n fe ni suru? Why you say I did nothing for you When I for do anything you want me to do Tim ba ni ke juru, e juru (e juru) Omo why to ki n fe ni suru? (ni suru) Why you say I did nothing for you When I for do anything you want me to do Maybe another time, maybe another life You would be my wife and we'd get it right E don cast Last last Na everybody go chop breakfast’’ ‘’Have to say bye bye o Bye bye o To the love of my life My eye o, don cry o I need igbo and shayo (shayo)’’ Translation: Burna restates that he wont hold back on his feelings, and questions why his ex-lover insinuated that he didn't do anything for her when her wish was literally his command. He adds that maybe in another life, they will get it right, get married and live happily ever after but for now, he must let her go (Bye bye), still needing some weed and alcohol.

Wer ist wegen Füllkrug hier? 💛

I’m leaving this comment today so after a month or a year, when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece ❤

For my people who don't understand the lyrics let me break it down for you : Las las E don cast ( At the end of the day what was good has gone bad : maybe a relationship or business or friendship ) Everybody go chop breakfast ( Everyone in a relationship will get their heartbroken ) I need Igbo & shayo ( Might as well smoke weed and drink ) Shayo oh, nah ( Drink ) Shayo oh, igbo-oh ( Drink and weed ) You go bow for the result oh ( The result of an act will surprise you ) Nothing to discuss oh 'Cause I dey win by default And without any doubt oh Omo, me, I be adult oh (Omo means child ) I no go fit take your I no go fit take your insult oh Omo, mind as you dey talk oh ( Don't talk shit to me ) I put my life into my job and I know I'm in trouble She manipulate my love oh, hmm I no holy and I no denge pose ( I am not perfect ,I don't act like I don't commit sin ... Denge pose : was a popular Nigerian song in the mid 90s ...it's became a slang to call out fake proud people ) Like Baba Fryo ( Baba fryo was the 90s Nigerian artist who sang denge pose) Chorus . I dey Port Harcourt when dem kill Soboma ( Port Harcourt is a city in Nigeria ... I guess he lost a friend) I dey try to buy motor, one Toyota Corolla ( Back then he could only buy a Toyota Corolla) My feelings been dey swing like jangolova ( Jangilova is slang for " swing " like on a children's playground swing ... So I guess he is saying his emotions are all over the place like a mood swing , happy now sad later ) Feelings been dey swing like jangolova Now, you crash your Ferarri for Lekki, (Now from a Toyota Corolla to a Ferrari which he crashed and it's nothing to him compared to when he was poor, lekki is a rich neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria) Burna Na small thing remain, could've been all over ( He narrowly escaped death in the accident) My feelings still dey swing like jangolova Feelings still dey swing like ( Highs and lows ,happy now ,sad now ) Tin-tin, ti n bani kẹ juru, ẹ juru ( Why can't she be patient ) Omo, why to ki n fẹ ni suuru? ( Why you say I did nothing for you ) Why you say I did nothing for you? When, I for do anything you want me to do Tinba ni ke juru, e juru (e juru) ( Why can't she be patient) Omo, why to o kin fẹ ni suuru? (ni suuru) ( Why can't she be patient) Why you say I did nothing for you? When, I for do anything you want me to do Maybe another time, maybe another life You would be my wife and we'd get it right. NOTE : I MAYBE FUCKED UP the yoruba language by translating it to why can't she be patient. If I did I apologize, let me know and I will edit it. Stay blessed y'all.

This song is a massive hit in Jamaica 🇯🇲 👌

2024 like if you here

2024 still here 💯

Incase you don't understand the message of the song It's a heart break song talking about how he's got to say goodbye to the love of his life; and how everyone will eventually get their hearts broken when it comes to loving someone. Talks about the toxic relationship he endured from his ex lover. Talks about bad happenings that happened surrounding his break up; however, as a man he has decides to move on from his heart break by requesting Marijuana and alcohol (Igbo and shayo

Something about this song makes me so emotional… I lost me nephew when he was 3 years old “say bye bye to the love of my life” makes me cry every time I hear it 💔 not sure why this song does that.

Yo!!! The Toni sample is everything! He killed this but that’s nothing new. He never misses!

This plays multiple times a day here in Jamaica.

We here in Jamaica 🇯🇲 is obsessed with this song ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Whoever mixed this for him is a legend. Its dope as hell.

My son (4yrs) is always requesting the song

Nigerians don't know how much we Kenyans love them...Nigeria 🇳🇬 Kenya 🇰🇪 loves you❤️

Burna should of won that Grammy this year 2024

Only Burna Boy can talk about a breakup in a good way like he did with this song. 🇳🇬 to the 🌏

This a mash up Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 love this song

Just chopped mine today so i decided to listen to the association song that’s why I’m here 😂 i no gree cry

"He Wasn't Man Enough" by Toni Braxton gives that extra factor to this

The day I started playing this song was the last day I spent with my ex, it made sense. Last last. As soon as I heard it I knew it was over, it was a long time coming. I relate with the lyrics, can’t be with someone who doesn’t value me and insults me, and treats me like garbage. Had to say bye bye, to who I thought was the love of my life, and who could have been my wife, in another time or another life. but was not meant to be. We’ll see how it goes from here, wish me luck friends ❤

Big hit in the USA 🇺🇲

2024 who's with me??

This guy is a fucking legend! He is gonna be around for a very long time. You can tell he is not in music for the money, although he has plenty, he truly cares for the art, and deserves every accolade.

Am proud to be an african.much love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

When I heard this song at the Madison performance, I was praying you dropped it soon. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Today makes exactly 2 years of the release of this masterpiece.

I'm really feeling this song!🔥🔥🔥

Love that my African people are taking music to the mainstream... Listening from Jamaica, Afrobeats hitting the airwaves daily. Big Up

I put my life into my job and i know im in trouble

LOVE All The Way From The United States Of America !!

I know he probably won't get to see this, but it's almost like Burna made this track for me. Had an hurtful break up last year so, EVERY WORD SLAPS. Thank you Burna for recording my emotions... our emotions. 🤝

I remember when this Toni Braxton song hit the airwaves in the 90s as a teenager in Africa yoooo those days were something else. For Burna to sample this song in 2022 makes us 80s babies feel nostalgic 🔥

Heard this song played all over Europe. Solid

This song is 🔥. On my top 10 best song of all time. Just puts anyone in a good mood.
