Dey Play Lyrics

[Intro]
Dey play

[Verse 1]
No be chys oh
Make we dey check for delight, oh
Ọlọhun
Àti wise oh, a dẹ tí economize, oh
Ọlọhun

On a mission, how many men follow me come?
Ọlọhun
No dey think am
Àkóbá adaba, Ọlọhun má jaa ri

[Chorus]
Ehen, ekelebe chasing
Eke-ekelebe chasing
I'm on the move like I'm speed racing
So fast they couldn't believe it
Ehen, ekelebe chasing
Eke-ekelebe chasing
I'm on the move like I'm speed racing
So fast they couldn't believe it


[Verse 2]
Dropped out of school from the first day
My teacher no get money
And my customers been dey call me
Last time I check, I was ballin'
On a Sunday
Open the bank on a Sunday
Olohun, for God's sake
Shey you no dey see money walking
One Ferrari, dey play
Two Lamborghini, dey play, Maybach, dey play
Drop top the Rolls-Royce, dey play
Soon I go wake up in a new Bugatti, dey play
[Chorus]
Ehen, ekelebe chasing
Eke-ekelebe chasing
I'm on the move like I'm speed racing
So fast they couldn't believe it
Ehen, ekelebe chasing
Eke-ekelebe chasing
I'm on the move like I'm speed racing
So fast they couldn't believe it

[Verse 3]
Ooh, too many mileage
Man never sleep for like nine days
Phone dey vibrate, dem dey find me
If na fine babe, make she slidin'
Oya je a lọ Jaye, lọ dó lai shade
Alhaji Bashiru kowo wole
Dey play, just dey play
Straight from Archipelago
Private jet ni ma n fà agbo

Omo, these days dem just dey take the trap like joke
But dem dey trap the man fa gbo (Woo-hoo)

[Chorus]
Ehen, ekelebe chasing
Eke-ekelebe chasing
I'm on the move like I'm speed racing
So fast they couldn't believe it
Ehen, Ekelebe chasing
Eke-ekelebe chasing
I'm on the move like I'm speed racing
So fast they couldn't believe it
[Outro]
My lord, I've thought of an idea
Come on out of it
This time I guarantee you'll get what you want, but you'll have to be patient
Why?
If you could be a little patient
Then I guarantee you'll learn all of Wu-Tang's secrets

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
