“Intro: My Life” by Burna Boy opens like a diary, honest, emotional, and steeped in reflection. It’s more than just an album opener; it’s a statement of self-awareness. Over soulful instrumentals, Burna lays bare his journey, touching on pain, purpose, and persistence with a calm yet powerful delivery.
You can feel the weight of experience in his voice. Ranging from the hunger, the resilience, and the pride of someone who’s walked through fire and come out shining. Every line feels intentional, as if he’s reclaiming his story, piece by piece.
“Intro: My Life” sets the tone for Burna’s artistic essence that is raw, grounded, and deeply human. It’s Burna Boy at his most reflective, reminding listeners that behind the fame lies a man still learning, growing, and finding peace with his past.

[Intro]
Ay ay
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
(Aristokrat Records)
Welcome ladies and gentlemen
I’m gonna try and be a good host right now (my life, this is my life)
Stop by the introduction you know what it is (my life, this is my life)
[Chorus]
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy
[Verse]
Taking it back to when I was younger
And only noticed by my mama
As onalabahama
Jumping up and down in the Ghana
Everybody watch me, nobody turn to me
Everything I do today I learned from there
Other players runned away, now I flipped the script and turned the page
This one's for all of y’all who didn’t know that far
If you ain’t know my name, you better do now
[Chorus]
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy (this is my life)
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy (this is my life)
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy (this is my life)
They call me, they call me
They call me Burna Boy (this is my life)
[Bridge]
This is just the way I am, this was not my plan
Y’all won’t understand, I’m just an ordinary man
And this is just the way I am
[Outro]
Eh my name is Benson Idoneje and, eh
Burna Boy happens to be my grandson
Well he's, uh, doing very well
I see that he has started on a very good note
And his music is unique
Even though, Hip-Hop eh
But, you see, the good thing about his music is that, erm
It has meaning
And so he has a long way
He has something good
This is just the way I am, this was not my plan
Y’all won’t understand, I’m just an ordinary man
And this is just the way I am
