Ayra Starr - The Year I Turned 21 Album Lyrics

Tan ba ti wo sanmọ l'alẹ
Wọn ari star loke
Ayra Starr
Ọmọ ologo na n sọ, oh ah
Ayra Starr lo n sọrọ oh

I run up shots, I run 'em myself
I run up blocks, I run 'em myself
Money make the rain come, I'ma take some
I can make the rain come, I'ma take some

You can't be too worried about what's mía
I learned to be gangster, prayed from these dark times
I released my mind, I need to re-up
I dare a bitch to say somethin', f*ck up off my FaceTime

Crying through a window, I want lump sums
I head a bird sing "Commas" outside
Run from anonymity, peace in my mind
War for my energy popping outside

No, no, bitch
Can you wrap it up when you talk to me now, bitch?
I don't watch my tone 'cause I like how I sound, bitch
Delete you off my phone now, I need some new energy, energy

My mama told me givin' up was giving up, so I made another way
I told my bitches hold me down, hold me down 'cause these niggas are a plague
I run my city, run my life, run my mind, but I never run away
I'm so careful with my energy, please never speak upon my name

Doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Crying through a window, I want lump sums
I head a bird sing "Commas" outside
Run from anonymity, peace in my mind
War for my energy popping outside

My mama told me givin' up was giving up, so I made another way
I told my bitches hold me down, hold me down 'cause these niggas are a plague
I run my city, run my life, run my mind, but I never run away
I'm so careful with my energy, please never speak upon my name

Goodbye to my ex yes
Hello to my next

I do not accept your apology (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just lemme be just lemme free
Give me lil space step back lemme breathe
Give you the cold shoulder I really hope you freeze
Until you burn almost had me in Burberry
Turn you to a brother ain't tryna get married
Wanna trap me cause the money and heard
Praying to a God that I'm not soon buried
This shit piss me off
You're too suspicious
Too ridiculous
Love ambiguous
Now we broken up
And I can't fix you up

You say
You say
You say, you say I'm too young, too foolish
Well I became myself spite what you say
Still tryna find a way that I can stay the same
Maybe that's my naïveté

F*ck that shit
I'ma run it how I want that's it
Money singing off the phone
That shit works for me
It's a purse on me (that's a bag)
No dey put a curse on me (I reflect)
Letting God at work on me (I repent)
Do it for myself never for a man

I'm just 21
What it feels to be more than 21
I've never known
I've never tried
Never loved
What am I supposed to do with what I done
Where did all the years go?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I was at the house
Tryna to figure out who the f*ck I am
11, 12 went too fast
3 to 16, too fast
7, 8 was a big year
19 got a big bag
Now I'm counting 100's playing '20 somethings'
I am counting on myself now
Crying by myself now
I'm 21
At my grown ass age, damn

Oh, 21
What it feels to be more than 21
I've never known
I've never tried
I've never loved
Forgive if I don't say it right or say enough
Real shit I'm just 21
Oh, I'm just twenty-one
Oh, I'm just twenty-one

Two, one (Twenty-one)
Two, one (Twenty-one)
Two, one (Twenty-one)
Two, one (Twenty-one)
Two, one (Twenty-one)
Two, one (Twenty-one)
Two

Why you no dey get my time?
Is there someone else?
You dey do me corny o
Every day new story o
Shey I just dey waste my time
Cause you dun become someone else
See palava for me o
You no dey touch my body o

It feels good to
Love somebody
And somebody loves you back
But it feels one-sided now
It feels one-sided now
You don't have to
Pretend about it
Cause it's crystal clear now now
Guess it's bye to the good times
I'll be gone by the sunrise

I'll be better on my own
I'll be better on my own, na, na
Nobody should call my phone
Nobody should call my phone, na, na
This is my last heartbreak song
This is my last heartbreak song, na, na
I'll be good all on my own
I'll be good all on my own, na, na

Why are you so quick to leave
When we both could make it work?
When I'm gone I make you nervous
If you hurt me I deserve it
I've been acting foolishly
Forgetting what you're worth
You stopped loving me, I noticed
But even chaos serves a purpose

It feels good to
Love somebody
And somebody loves you back
So don't give in to your changed mind
Cause I'll be here for a lifetime
You don't have to pretend about it
Cause it's crystal clear now now
Guess it's bye to the good times
And I'll be gone by the sunrise

I'll be better on my own
I'll be better on my own, na, na
Nobody should call my phone
Nobody should call my phone, na, na
This is my last heartbreak song
This is my last heartbreak song, na, na
I'll be good all on my own
I'll be good all on my own, na, na

No dey throw bad vibes
Where the money dey, that is where I'm at
Anyhow e be, I dey play my part
Igi gogoro, ma gun mi l'oju, mi o fọ (Mystro Sugar)

I let the water touch my mink
Can't let these people get to me
I know you know I never drink
I'm mixing with that Hennessy
I need my enemies desist
I know they wanna find a crease
God they see in me
Hallelujah

Gave me the world, but it's heavy on my palms
I watch my words 'cause they heavy on your heart
You hit my line, but I'm talking to my moms
But when there's time, I'll be talking up with God

No dey throw bad vibes
Where the money dey, that is where I'm at
Anyhow e be, I dey play my part
Igi gogoro ma gun mi Loju mi o fo

I go dance for you Michael Jackson
Mama always say, "Son, have mercy on me"
The angels never forsake me
Hallelujah morenikeji
Promise to play my part
Sometimes I pray and fast
Seven days and nights
Forever the light
Son of Amdallah, holla
Girl, you know I was a Rasta
Play them Kigawa
Omo ologo dia

Anyhow e be, I dey play my part
Igi gogoro ma gun mi Loju mi o fo, mi o fo

I'm leading a life that can clean me from my past shit
Burn all this money and leave it in ashes
The lord is blessing, l'll see if I can match it
There's something's coming, I see it through lashes
Never stopping when the red light flashes
To be real, I'm still eating off my last hit

No dey throw bad vibes
Where the money dey, that is where I'm at
Anyhow e be, I dey play my part
Igi gogoro ma gun mi Loju mi o fo

No dey throw bad vibes
Where the money dey, that is where I'm at
Anyhow e be, I dey play my part
Igi gogoro ma gun mi Loju mi o fo, mi o fo

Everyday is just the same
No worries for tomorrow
I wish I didn't wake today
But low, I gotta face my pain

Olorun K'orun ke loni
Olorun k'orun ke on me
I know I've been bad
But I'm sorry I've learnt from my mistakes
You know what I need

I'm waiting for the rain
I'm waiting my skies to weep again, oh
I'm longing everyday
Monbebe for the waters
Olorun k'orun ke loni
Olorun k'orun ke loni

I'm making history
I don't think there's ever been any like me from these parts
I should be happy you'll agree
But no, eni to'nwor bata
L'onmo ibi ton ti ta lese

Olorun K'orun ke loni
Olorun k'orun ke on me
I know I've been bad
But I'm sorry I've learnt from my mistakes
You know what I need (you know what I need)

Olorun k'orun ke loni

Drink is getting my head
Shayo plenty for cup
I'm gone (I'm gone)
Plenty people for section
They are looking for attention
O lord

E mi ti mo ti jo go
Ti mo ti mu panasharp
Mo ti no no
You go hear the gbedu for the koro
It's a vibe anytime that we turn up
E mi ti mo ti jo go
Ti mo ti mu panasharp
Mo ti no no
You go hear the gbedu for the koro
When the jazzy song comes on

Last year I made money
But this year I want a billion more
Am I feeling like anini or what?
Make the comma reach like 3 on top

(Oh I'm very sorry)
You dey call and I dey busy your call
In a rollercoaster riding in my head

Wan mo ra wan
See evidence is all around
Suffering and smiling jo ra wan
No gree for person kan ra mo

Ogaranya
Intelligence is number 1
Something Dey stress you cut am off
Shayo must plenty order more

Might have it all, but I'ma need some more
Time passes fast, already gone
Shoot to kill, but I don't mean to hurt nobody
I just do this for fun

We in the pool
With a bottle 1942 inna the buckle
The feeling's good, hot water bubbles
There's money in the duffle, get another one, oh

This moment makes it all worth it
All the time we put into the job
My first time scratching pass the surface
Make me realize
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose

Scared that maybе one day I might lose it all
Can't let thе negativity to win the brawl (Win the brawl)
One day I'm gon' look back know I did it all
Instead of bad thoughts, I'ma bask in the glory of God's work

With a bottle 1942 inna the buckle
The feeling's good, hot water bubbles
There's money in the duffle, get another one, oh

This moment makes it all worth it
All the time we put into the job
My first time scratching pass the surface
Make me realize
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose (I don't wanna lose)
I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose (Yeah, yeah)
I don't wanna lose (No)
I don't wanna lose (I don't wanna lose)

Like I said, Ebu
I want you to be happy
Go out, enjoy, enjoy what you work for
Don't save, save, save, save, save
Enjoy it, go on vacation, be happy with your friends
Because your dad did not really enjoy what he worked for
He was always pleasing people, pleasing people
Today, I've gone to buy food
The food that we'd eat for three or four days, I spent twenty thousand
It's my money, I worked for it
So please, enjoy yourself
Enjoy to the fullest, yu-ye?
Mm, what again did I want to say?

Hope no clouds are blocking the view
Hope you can see what I turned into, oh
Hope I'm out here making you proud, oh
Hope God doesn't judge you by your sins
And when you knock on Heaven's gate, oh
Hope they let you in, oh
Hope you're forgiven, oh
Hope they let you in, oh
Hope you're forgiven, oh
When they let you in
Put in a good word for me

Her name is Jemimah, she's 2 years
I wish you were here with me to just—
To hold my hands, ah God, I'm trying my best
