“Smooth Sailing” by Burna Boy is an easy, feel-good tune that lives up to its name. The track flows effortlessly, blending laid-back Afro-fusion rhythms with Burna’s warm, confident vocals. It’s the kind of song that makes you exhale in calm, steady, and full of quiet joy. “Smooth Sailing” is a song about finding balance, trusting the journey, and enjoying the calm after the storm. It’s Burna at peace, still grooving, glowing.

[Intro: Burna Boy, Maria Okanrende]
They call me Burna Boy
Hear me now
Me stay representing
A to the R representing (Aristokrat Records)
Hear me now, hear me now
[Verse 1: Burna Boy]
[?]
Nobody never did it when I done
Them listen to me no one told me something magical
And if something is wrong, then the fact is technical
I found a microphone and I went professional
Profession ah
This is my professional
And back inna the days man will send 'em by the pound
I got to runaway when the cops come around
Enemy turf, the go check out fire round
[?]
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
So I'm chilling, the next man a sipping, the spliff
Man ah bailing so it's smooth sailing eh, ahn, ooh-ooh
Ooh Lord
Won ni ma ma ah fowo ke o (alo ge re)
Won ni ma ma ah fe se ge o
[Verse 2: Burna Boy]
Show me your Burna [?]
I'm shouting out the pussy them never call me by
[?] and I play from Dubai
Number one ain't like my birthday 2nd July
You tell me say you bad but you lie
My laugh got me too young to cry
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
And that's why I'm chilling, the next man a sipping, the spliff
Man ah bailing so it's smooth sailing eh, ahn, ooh-ooh
Ooh Lord
Won ni ma ma ah fowo ke o (alo ge re)
Won ni ma ma ah fe se ge o
[Bridge: Burna Boy]
Tell me what's the reason why they keep on deceiving me
I bleed sometimes watching my people cry
Tell me what's the reason why they keep on deceiving me
I bleed sometimes watching my people cry
[Chorus: Burna Boy]
So I'm chilling, the next man a sipping, the spliff
Man ah bailing so it's smooth sailing eh, ahn, ooh-ooh
Ooh Lord
Won ni ma ma ah fowo ke o (alo ge re)
Won ni ma ma ah fe se ge o
So I'm chilling, the next man a sipping, the spliff
Man ah bailing so it's smooth sailing eh, ahn, ooh-ooh
Ooh Lord
Won ni ma ma ah fowo ke o (alo ge re)
Won ni ma ma ah fe se ge o
[Outro: Burna Boy, Maria Okanrende]
Show me your Burna [?]
I'm shouting out the pussy them never call me by

It's the A to the R
They call me
They call me Burna Boy
