But I’m never lonely

Sexy ladies

Come whine fi me slowly (Come whine for me slowly.)

Chorus (Asake)

Na the love wey I see (It is the love that I saw)

Na im wey give me liver (That gave me liver/boldness.)

I be ghetto boy I be sinner (I am a ghetto boy, I am a sinner.)

Fear nobody only Jehovah (I fear nobody except God.)

And I thank the lord I dey go far (And I am thankful to God that I am going far.)

Usain Bolt, mo d’aleba
