Want It All Lyrics

[Intro: Burna Boy]
I've been trying to achieve

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Remember when they said they don't believe in me no more?
I was sleeping on the ground, on the cold floor
Whole time I was grinding, I been tryin' to achieve
Working night and day, you know my people no dey sleep
I got every Louis V collection from Virgil
Now my life a fashion show, no rehearsal
Dior from Kim Jones, Bottega from Daniel

100K my ring so I'm not shaking no hands, no

[Verse 1: Burna Boy]
Really rich but grind like I ain't got shit at all
I give them just a little, but now I want it all
It's already won when they ask what I ball for
For all the times you no pick up whеn I called ya
I know when I came in to this world, I was solo
So to mе your opinion na your nyash-hole
Don't vex because I said I did it to my own, oh
If I enter fire now shey una go follow
I'm tellin' you, back in '09 I was feeling so low
No lie, no cap, God knows
No dey talk like say you know, because you no know
If he was here right now, I'll tell you ask Gambo

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Remember when they said they don't believe in me no more
I was sleeping on the ground, on the cold floor
Whole time I was grinding, I been tryin' to achieve
Working night and day, you know my people no dey sleep
I got every Louis V collection from Virgil
Now my life a fashion show, no rehearsal
Dior from Kim Jones, Bottega from Daniel

100K my ring so I'm not shaking no hands, no

[Verse 2: Polo G]
In my stomach, butterflies
Ain't been the same since my brothers died
We woke up like fuck it, let's slide
Never put a ho above the guys
I have dug deep into your heart, and I discovered lies
They gon' tell my story, I'm that nigga, what they summarize
I came out a winner, I don't care what happened otherwise
Long nights I remember we don't ask to let them cutters ride
Made it out the gutter, can't go back to what I used to do
We just get money, fuck hoes, you know, the usual
And this shit forever, can't accept the thought of losin' you
Lotta pressure on me from obstacles I'm movin' through

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Remember when they said they don't believe in me no more
I was sleeping on the ground, on the cold floor
Whole time I was grinding, I been tryin' to achieve
Working night and day, you know my people no dey sleep
I got every Louis V collection from Virgil
Now my life a fashion show, no rehearsal
Dior from Kim Jones, Bottega from Daniel

100K my ring so I'm not shaking no hands, no
[Verse 3: Burna Boy]
Can't believe I really came home with a Grammy
I was in the mansion celebrating with the family
You don't come from where I'm from, you may not understand me
Obviously I never cared about your understanding
Got the biggest honour from Port Harcourt City
Whole time I was there, I was just looking at my daddy
Felt like nothin' else seeing him as proud he can be
I get emotional when I talk about my daddy
Who'd have thought I'd take it this far?
Did it all with my art and it came from the heart
Now they take me to court
But it's cool because my Richard Mille is now worth half a mil
And the price goin' up so I don't need no love

[Chorus: Burna Boy]
Remember when they said they don't believe in me no more
I was sleeping on the ground, on the cold floor
Whole time I was grinding, I been tryin' to achieve
Working night and day, you know my people no dey sleep
I got every Louis V collection from Virgil
Now my life a fashion show, no rehearsal
Dior from Kim Jones, Bottega from Daniel

100K my ring so I'm not shaking no hands, no, oh

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This is Nigerian Afro-fusion artist Burna Boy’s third single release of 2021, Want It All. Featuring American Melodic Hip-Hop artist Polo G, the track differs from almost all of Burna’s releases, with a new trap-style melodia rap type beat, bass-heavy trip-hop hits, and a stringed influenced instrumental.

It is set to feature on Burna’s next new album, currently untitled. If so, it would be his first new project in over a year, with his LP, Twice As Tall, having arrived in August last year.

Burna Boy has said this about the track, “I’ve been watching [Polo G] for some time, and I just knew this had to get done, but it had to get done in the perfect way where the whole world gets to feel the reality of both of us”.
