“No Sign of Weakness” is the second track on Burna Boy’s eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, released in 2025. From the moment the song opens, there’s a deep-processed voice reciting: “Weakness does not need permission to take over your life / It only needs space”. Weakness isn’t dramatic; it sneaks in when you give it room.
“No Sign of Weakness” invites the listener not simply to dance along, but to witness a moment of declaration. Burna Boy isn’t just flexing his success but staking a claim to the emotional territory that comes with maintaining power in a world that expects you to drop your guard.
[Intro]
Weakness does not need permission to take over your life
It only needs spaceAnd every time you choose comfort over challenge
Every time you choose avoidance over action
You are giving weakness exactly what it needs to stay in control
[Verse 1]
Uh, uh ẹ ma lọ fọ bi tumbler
Quick, switch the formula
Uh, uh, ko s'ọmọ na
Uh, uh, ja wọn bo
Uh, uh, overboard
Uh, uh, a gbọ́ wọn mọ
Uh, uh, wọn play ni bẹ yẹn mọ
Uh, uh, do my job, with headache and Panadol
My style e be one-of-one, e no dey for Amazon
[Chorus]
Kanayo, Kanayo, sacrifice all of you
Azaman ba mi yọ
Quick, quick, fall am out (Oh!)
Give me physical, cash money kaluba
Ha-Ha-Hallelujah, ha, ha, ha, eh, eh
[Verse 2]
Ma lọ rò pé, eh, na mistake, eh
Mo gbe tuntun de, ṣa’na wọ'le
Try jump up and down
Go by the water, get gunshot and drown
Like Harry Potter, you're in Dumbledore’s house
Get used to the darkness 'cause you're haunted right now
No bother cry because your tears just won't count
Everything was nice, but now your luck ran all out
Probably a lie if you no hear it from my mouth
Should've seen the signs, but you just had to find out
[Refrain]
(Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee)
[Chorus]
Kanayo, Kanayo, sacrifice all of you
Azaman ba mi yọ
Quick, quick, fall am out
Give me physical, cash money kaluba
Ha-Ha-Hallelujah, ha, ha
Shake 'em up
[Refrain]
(Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee)
[Verse 3]
Hothead can't get cold feet
So my advice is that it's just best you don’t speak
The likkle frog better not jump up and leap
The .44 gon’ make am slumber and sleep
See, the perimeter to the governor them reach
Nobody move, only dead bodies can leave
You never knew how fucked up it can be
What you gonna do? You never make no plan B
[Refrain]
(Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee)
[Chorus]
Kanayo, Kanayo, sacrifice all of you
Azaman ba mi yọ
Quick, quick, fall am out (Oh!)
Give me physical, cash money kaluba
Ha-Ha-Hallelujah, ha, ha, shake 'em up
[Refrain]
(Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee)

We want it so bad we might cry
