“Cloak & Dagger” is more than just a collaboration between Burna Boy and J Hus, but a meeting of two musical heavyweights who understand the grind, the glory, and the game. The song walks the line between confidence and caution, painting the picture of men who’ve risen from the struggle but still keep their eyes wide open.
It’s the kind of song that reminds you success isn’t just about shining but about knowing when to speak, when to move, and when to keep your cards close. Burna Boy turns that message into art, making “Cloak & Dagger” both a warning and a victory lap.

[Burna Boy:]
Ma lo ro se
Oh my God
Success, is all I want (Funkula)
Oti pe n'be
Shey ibeyen le ma sun
Oti pe n'be
Shey ibeyen le ma duro
Them dey pray make I fall and stagger
So I move in cloak and dagger
Might see me in black bandana
In a Lambo with Jowi Zaza
Diamond teeth with a pocket full of rubber
No shirt looking like an armed robber
Since I start dem dey carry my matter
No be now e go scatter my dada (Huhn)
Oti pe n'be
Shey ibe le ma sun
Oti pe n'be
Shey ibe le ma duro
[J Hus:]
Yeah, yo
Them dey pray we go fall and stagger
Are you mad? You know why them man are call me Baba?
To catch I, you gon need one bigger and a taller ladder (Big one)
Just there dancing, dagger
I'm outside chilling, ragga
What's all the higgi-hagga?
When I come with the yinki yanka (Big one)
And my jacket was shining like Bianca
Now them man there wish them never done that (What?)
Now everybody Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder
Niggas doing 8 mile when they hear the thunder
Make a nigga wake up, rise from your slumber
I ain't even green yet, man, I'm still on amber
Why you wanna see me fall down, see me under?
Sometimes I gotta think hard, and I ponder
They can come close, come here but they want to
Just stay far, stay there, smoke a ganja
24 hours ain't enough for gangsta (Nah)
No sleep, now my eyes looking like a panda
Do them man them there really wanna passa-passa? (What?)
When you pull up them gon have to call for Jah Jah
Go and call for Ya Allah
See me ah marga
When your time has come, nigga, don't make it harder
Can't catch 'em today, so we gon' see tomorrow
Only witness was Tia and Tamara
[Burna Boy:]
Them dey pray make I fall and stagger
So I move in cloak and dagger
Might see me in black bandana
In a Lambo with Jowi Zaza
Diamond teeth with a pocket full of rubber
No shirt looking like an armed robber
Since I start dem dey carry my matter
No be now e go scatter my dada
