Lyrics
The DJ's spinning that Burna, the bass is a low thread
Weaving through the sweat on the back of my neck
I see your shadow moving where the shisha smoke spreads
Still replaying every single word you said
[Chorus]
And this beat, e dey pull my body
But your memory, e dey wear me like old ankara
Every log drum a needle, every shaker a tear
Omo, why you still dey dance inside my ear?
[Verse 2]
Remember that night in Ikoyi, rain on the zinc roof
We swore our story was unbreakable, was bulletproof
Now I'm trying to patch this feeling but the stitches won't hold

[Chorus]
And this beat, e dey pull my body
But your memory, e dey wear me like old ankara
Every log drum a needle, every shaker a tear
Omo, why you still dey dance inside my ear?
[Bridge]
In the strobe light flicker, a shimmer of gold dust
The life we almost tailored, now it’s turning to rust
[Outro]
Yeah, like old ankara...
E no dey comot for body.
