Bad Vibes Lyrics – Ayra Starr

[Intro: Ayra Starr]
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)

[Verse 1: Ayra Starr]
I let the water touch my mink, yeah
Can’t let these people get to me
I know you know I never drink, yeah
I’m mixing with that Hennessy (Mixing with that Hennessy)
I need my enemies desist, ayy
I know they wanna find a crease (Know they wanna find a crease)
God they see in me, ayy (Ah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

[Refrain: Ayra Starr]
Gave me the world, but they serve it on my palms (My palms)
I watch my word ’cause they heavy on your heart (Your heart)
You hit my line, but I’m talking to my mom’s
And when there’s time, I’ll be talking up with God

[Chorus: Ayra Starr & Choir, Ayra Starr]
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
No dey throw bad vibes (No dey throw bad vibes)
Where the money dey, that is where I’m at (Ah)
Anyhow e be, I dey play my part (I dey play my part)
Igi gogoro, ma gun mi l’oju, mi fọ, mi fọ

[Verse 2: Seyi Vibez]
And I go dance for you, Michael Jackson
Mama always say, “Son, have mercy on me”
The angels never forsake me
Halleluyah, morenikeji
Promise to play my part
Sometimes I pray and fast
Seven days and night
Forever the light
Son of Amdallah (Hold on)
Girl, you know I was a rasta

[Bridge: Ayra Starr]
I’m leading a life that can clean me from my past s*it (Yeah, past s*it)
Burn all this money and leave it in my ashes
The Lord is blessing, I’ll see if I can match it, yeah
If something’s coming, I’ll see it from my lashes
Never stopping when the red light flashes
To be real, I’m still eating off my last hit
(No dey throw)
