Burna Boy – Whiskey Lyrics
[Chorus]
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
[Verse 1]
Some people bind and cast
Some of them pray and fast
See pastor don dey fat
Shey na the thing God command
Because of oil and gas, my city so dark
Pollution make the air turn black
Every man have to stay on guard
[Chorus]
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
[Verse 2]
People dey sleep for their housе dey get no work
Some thеy walk on the other side of town
Dey dem for hold up, some they pray for the traffic
Make dey hail you make you show love
When e reach when to go back home you go go club
I no say e no easy my brother
‘Cause you dey take am easy my brother
As long as you are breathing my brother
As long as you no sink inside water
[Chorus]
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
[Verse 3]
People wey dey pray for the rain but e no fall
Rain dey fall for another mans place and e no stop
E be like swimming pool for him house as e don flood
All the things wey him get for his house many don lost
