The song “Oluwa Burna” is a powerful track from Burna Boy’s second studio album, “On a Spaceship,” released in 2015. The song serves as a defiant self-affirmation, blending Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, and English to reinforce his identity and his commitment to his craft despite the pressures of the industry and society. The song is a mix of braggadocio, social commentary, and a declaration of self-reliance, which are hallmarks of Burna Boy’s music.

Emi o lo be o
She be yi mon lo be o

To the people wey wan make i lose
Cause oluwa burna too dey talk e truth
And e don reach stage wey some people want to prosecute
Wan press me make i turn mute

If you try to put your leg inside my shoe
You go see say e no easy to do wetin i dey do
