Burna Boy - Empty Chairs (feat. Mick Jagger) [LYRICS]

 

Burna Boy ft. Mick Jagger - Empty Chairs  (lyrics)

Am I the only one that's sitting in this hot seat?

Am I the only one that's listening to this heart's beat?

Your friends all lie, and your enemies cheat

Watching the world drive by

You might think that you're sitting on a throne

But, to me, it's just an empty chair, hm

And that's my icy glare

Last time I checked, there was nobody there, hm

Took my place without fear

Seems unfair, but this is warfare

Troops on the loose, no civilian here

'Cause my circle don't need no square, nah

Because I dey for the long ride

I get to push all my feelings, go one side

I be real General, so I can't cry

I just say that it's alright

And I don wise, don't reveal my plans

So they don't get no warning in advance

Take them by surprise, it's important

If you want your enemy's fate to be in your hands

You might think that you're sitting on a goldmine

But it will soon be revealed, mm

All is not what it seems

Last time I checked, you were living in a dream

Woke you up, showed you what a good friend I've been

What a friend for if not for inconvenience?

Not always there, I pull up when I'm needed

The seeds wey you sow, you could reap them

Was in the courtroom

It was me, the judge, and the jury, and some empty chairs, mm

And Uncle T was there

Looking at the judge with an empty stare, mm

Prosecution don't care

Tryna make the judge give me seventy years

Then God showed me myself in the heavenly mirror

Never lie, grandma I see there

Am I the only one that's sitting in this hot seat?

Am I the only one that's listening to this heart's beat?

Your friends all lie, and your enemies cheat

Watching the world drive by

Watching the world flash by

No, this world na housing scheme

If you poor, you be victim of profiling

If you no be politician, and you manage get rich

Them go turn you to victim of society

My enemies are no longer on the street or the roads

Now they're on the internet or the blogs

And in my sold-out shows looking for empty chairs

(How do we) Free up and break these chairs?

(Why do we have) Give up just 'cause we fail

(I believe) And do my best every day

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Am I the only one that's sitting in this hot seat?

Everyone around me is just so indiscrete

Your friends all lie, and your enemies cheat

Watching the world drive by

Watching the world flash by
