“5hrs Till Nairobi” is a song by Nigerian singer BNXN that reflects on his international success, anxieties about fame, and a spiritual journey. The lyrics describe the artist’s travel to Nairobi, his fears of being unknown, and his prayers for guidance and integrity, blending travel diary elements with personal reflections. He asks God to “separate me from the ordinary” and expresses his fear only to God.
[Intro]
It's Kel-P vibes
Mm
[Verse 1]
Five hours till I land Nairobi
Got my passport with me, and my bag of kpoli
I'm kinda nervous if they even know me
'Cause I went number one and I ain't been there lowkey
Kinda different for me, see my life like a movie
I wonder if they're gonna separate me
From all the novices that's in my country, God go forgive me
[Chorus]
Oh, Olúwa, oh
I'm still thuggin' out here
Separate me from the ordinary prayers from the sanctuary
It's only you I fear
Oh, Olúwa, oh
I'm still big on ideas
Separate me from the ordinary prayers from the sanctuary
It's only you I fear
[Verse 2]
Who tell you say we no get code?
Who tell you say we no get principles?
Who tell you say e no get the time wey be say I dey squat for Ikeja dey plot for Telo house
I put it down on the floor
Do you know how many songs I done wrote in my whole life
Who tell you say e no get the time wey be say them go tell me no and I fight for my own right
Jah-Jah, protect me from predicament
'Cause me I no fit live for the internet
I no like consoling o
Make you make my way smooth, make I no miss road
Some blessings are pending, oh
I had a dream I was with sixteen witches
Said if I sold my soul that they would grant me sixteen wishes
Fame, money, respect and all the sixteen bitches
That I wish I had when I was in my teen ages
[Chorus]
Oh, Olúwa, oh
I'm still thuggin' out here
Separate me from the ordinary prayers from the sanctuary
It's only you I fear
Oh, Olúwa, oh
I'm still big on ideas
Separate me from the ordinary prayers from the sanctuary
It's only you I fear
[Outro]
Oh, Olúwa, oh
