Stop chasing what you think you’re missing and look at what’s already in front of you with Adekunle Gold on “Ire.” The song is about realizing that happiness is not somewhere far away or on the other side of some big change. You’ve been climbing mountains made of sand, searching for something you already have. The grass isn’t greener on the other side; it’s greener where you water it.
[Verse 1]
The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side
That’s What I Thought, Before I Took The Ride
I Burned My Bridges, So I’d Never Look Back
But, If I Had Known
The Life I Was Searching For, Was Looking Me Right In The Eye Oh
If I Had Known, The Life I Was Searching For, Was Already My Own
Ire N Be Nile Oo, Ire Ayo
[Chorus]
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire Ayo
O Npe Mioo
Oni Kin Ma Bo
Oni Kin Ma Bo Nile
Ire
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire Ayo
O Npe Mioo
Oni Kin Ma Bo
Oni Kin Ma Bo Nile
Ire
[Verse 2]
The Grass Is Greener, Where You Water The Ground
That’s What I Found, When I Took The Ride
I Realized The Mountain I’ve Been Climbing ,Is Nothing But Sand
I Didn’t Know I Already Had The Answer
No I Didn’t Know
But, If I Had Known
The Life I Was Searching For
Was Looking Me Right In The Eye Ohh
If I Had Known
The Life I Was Searching For
Was Already My Own
[Chorus]
