“If I’m Lying” is a heartfelt track where Burna Boy shifts from the album’s usual boastful, Hip-Hop swagger to a space of genuine humility, gratitude, and emotional honesty. The song is essentially a powerful oath or promise about his dedication to surviving and fighting through his struggles. The production creates a meditative, melancholic atmosphere that allows the sincerity of the lyrics to fully resonate. It’s a track designed for quiet reflection rather than a party.

[Verse 1]
Every day, I just dey give thanks for life
Know how to move 'cause I know sacrifice
Lose control, still hold on tight
Won't be the only time
I'm a soldier, I know how to fight
I make fire when it's cold in the night
If you need a shoulder to cry
Then I'll give you mine
[Chorus]
And if I'm lyin'
Let the ocean and seas start dryin'
Let the birds in the sky stop flyin'
All the trees in the world start dyin', all start dyin'
And if I'm lyin'
Let the ocean and seas start dryin'
Let the birds in the sky stop flyin'
All the trees in the world start dyin', all start dyin'
[Verse 2]
Won't be the only time
Only time
Only timе
Won't be the only time
That you'rе gonna get your heart broken, yeah
You got to learn how to ride the motion
[Chorus]
And if I'm lyin'
Let the ocean and seas start dryin'
Let the birds in the sky stop flyin'
All the trees in the world start dyin', all start dyin'
And if I'm lyin'
Let the ocean and seas start dryin'
Let the birds in the sky stop flyin'
All the trees in the world start dyin', all start dyin'
[Verse 3]
Zero
All that I get is zero
Rain fallin' on my window
That's why I sleep under my pillow
Woah, woah, woah
These days I don't sleep no more, no
So, my eyes open wide
At least I know I'm alive
[Chorus]
If I'm lyin'
Let the ocean and seas start dryin'
Let the birds in the sky stop flyin'
All the trees in the world start dyin', all start dyin'
If I'm lyin'
(Let the ocean and seas start dryin')
(Let the birds in the sky stop flyin') Lyin'
(All the trees in the world start dyin', all start dyin')
