Wetin Dey Sup Lyrics

[Intro]
Fu-fu-fu-fu (Oh)
Funkula


[Refrain]
I no be one of those men wey dey fear toto fuck yash
Check am, na kpakoro pa
Me I know say everybody got to die one day
Buried six feet under coal tar

[Chorus]
Aje, why we no go jaiye? Oh, wetin dey sup
Tell my broda jeun soke, everything is okay, oh, wetin dey sup
To ba je, nkan to bafe je is allowed, oh, nothing dey sup
Abajo, toni kin ma so mo, oh, wetin dey sup

[Post-Chorus]
As I no fit depend on talk
Dem go disrespect on top
Then I show dem wetin dey sup
As I dey my own
Una no know wetin dey come
You're waiting in vain
I'm overtaking again

[Verse 1]
Start to dey dance
Put your cap to the back
If you know, say "na kpakoro kpa"
'Cause I came with the gang
Dem know say we bad to the max
We no come here to come gallivant
I dey tell paddy man
'Cause I wise like elderly man
If you no think am well, you go hang
Dem go wan carry chance
Wey you give dem spoil your dance
As for me that one no be my plans
[Pre-Chorus]
Wetin dey sup, wetin dey play
I no pay attention of course
Wetin you hear, wetin dem talk
I'm watching my back and facing my front
Truth dey bitter, needing no salt
'Cause e no be rice and beans and kpomo

Me and my people don dey consult
Make we dey understand wetin dey sup

[Chorus]
Aje, why we no go jaiye? Oh, wetin dey sup
Tell my broda jeun soke, everything is okay, oh, wetin dey sup
To ba je, nkan to bafe je is allowed, oh, nothing dey sup
Abajo, toni kin ma so mo, oh, wetin dey sup

[Verse 2]
Pick dem one by one
From you make me buss my gun
Poisonous like a long python
Gunfiring, 911 dialing
We never liked the sound of dem sirens
They only respect the money and the violence
So I get to show dem wetin dey sup

[Refrain]
I no be one of those men wey dey fear toto fuck yash
Check am, na kpakoro pa
Me I know say everybody got to die one day
Buried six feet under coal tar
Make nobody tell my people make we try cool down
But if no be for the sake of one or two things
You sef know say na down you go down
[Pre-Chorus]
Wetin dey sup, wetin dey play
I no pay attention of course
Wetin you hear, wetin dem talk
I'm watching my back and facing my front

Truth dey bitter, needing no salt
'Cause e no be rice and beans and kpomo
Me and my people don dey consult
Make we dey understand wetin dey sup

[Chorus]
Aje, why we no go jaiye? Oh, wetin dey sup
Tell my broda jeun soke, everything is okay, oh, wetin dey sup
To ba je, nkan to bafe je is allowed, oh, nothing dey sup
Abajo, toni kin ma so mo, oh, wetin dey sup

[Post-Chorus]
As I no fit depend on talk
Dem go disrespect on top
Then I show dem wetin dey sup
As I dey my own
Una no know wetin dey come
You're waiting in vain
I'm overtaking again

[Outro: Diddy]
The way they act is the way, you know, that's, that's the impact
The beautiful impact that we have on the people
There's a lot of music that's out right now, but this shit ain't at—
It ain't life

What did Burna Boy say about "Wetin Dey Sup"?
Genius Answer

This is just slang to say, ‘How are you doing?’ I recorded this in Lagos but we sent it to Timbaland for those additional production parts. When I said, ‘They only respect the money and the violence,’ that’s because I think that’s just the truth. Look around you. Tell me if that’s not the case, because it’s been that way for centuries. Throughout all of those crazy empires. This world doesn’t move for nothing but money and violence, and don’t forget it—because they like to push all these other things as though there’s power in it to distract, but that’s not what make this world move.
