Burna Boy – Don’t Let Me Drown Lyrics
Verse 1
Nights like these
There's something mystical about nights like these
And the concept of time don't matter
Thoughts in my mind fill my eyes with water, oh-oh
I try to talk to God
And I close my eyes but I don't see anyone
I still pray for forgiveness every time I sit
So don't need my fail in the hands of my enemies (Yeah, yeah)
Chorus
Don't let me down, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't let me drown, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't let me down, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't let me drown
Post-Chorus
Don't let me down
Verse 2
Nowadays
Now I'm just too famous, I no fit tie my face
They call me Odogwu 'cause I live up to my name
…..
Tell me how you go come
When living like you no get nobody at all
I still play the blame game with the man in the mirror
Don't you leave me on my own now
Chorus
Don't let me down, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't let me drown, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't let me down, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Don't let me drown
Post-Chorus
Don't let me down
Don't let me drown
Don't let me down
Outro
I try to talk to God
And I close my eyes but I don't see anyone
