Full Lyrics – Duro by Olamide
[Verse 1]
If I tell you I’m wasted
Baby I’m wasted
I don’t know the reason
I don’t feel elevated
I’m not motivated
I feel unappreciated
Got me eliminated
I don’t know why. don’t know why
[Hook]
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
I go hustle till I drop
Give you everything you want and more
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
But baby ko’gboran, but baby ko’gborannn
[Verse 2]
O shey fun mi, o shey fun mi
O shey fun mi, my babe
Tell me wetin me I gain
My emotion a’fii drain
E dey kill me, heal my pain
Sunday to Saturday
But kini ka ti se
Eh! ah! eh!
(I told you duro, I told you don’t go)
But, omotena no wan reason me
Love is wicked, shawty no wan pity me
When, all my fresh was seasoning
Told you long time, say e go be season mi
LV, mo ra Balenciaga, diamond ring
Everything, motiraka
People yanga, come dey play the boy like Kaka
Now I don shayo, baby I dey staggerr
[Hook]
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
I go hustle till I drop
Give you everything you want and more
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
But baby ko’gboran, but baby ko’gborannn
[Verse]
For a while I was guessing
And for long I’ve been stressing (I’ve been stressing)
Bena bena bena bennaa
Why you wan kill person
Oya woju mi sexy, oya woju mi sexy
Kilode why you vexing
Bena bena bena bennaa, why you wan kill person
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
But, omotena no wan reason me
Love is wicked, shawty no wan pity me
When, all my fresh was seasoning
Told you long time, say e go be season mi
LV, mo ra Balenciaga, diamond ring
Everything, motiraka
People yanga, come dey play the boy like Kaka
Now I don shayo, baby I dey staggerr
[Hook]
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
I go hustle till I drop
Give you everything you want and more
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
But baby ko’gboran, but baby ko’gborannn
[Hook – Repeated]
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
I go hustle till I drop
Give you everything you want and more
I told you duro, I told you don’t go
But baby ko’gboran, but baby ko’gborannn
