While employing imagery intelligently, Songwriter “Fireboy DML,” drops new track, “Afar,” where he lays out the distinction between him and the vain people who want to be like him. He decides he prefers being loved from afar than having to endure the fake energy from those who secretly desire what he has. He collaborates with Nigerian’s mega star and rapper, “Olamide,” for this one.

[Fireboy DML:]
As you dey see am so
I just dey live life ooo
Make you no go think am o
I no dey find wahala
I just dey go jeje in my zone
I want to think and grow
They want to drink and smoke
My food never done
They want to come close and tiff my stove
The life I live comes with enemies
I hear my spirit and it's telling me
I gotta be careful
To be careful, always
Make dem dey love me from afar
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
Make dem dey love me from afar
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
Make dem dey love me from afar
[Olamide:]
Yeah Babylonian, Pharisees and narcissists
Don't come close that's what the choppa says
I know your insecurities are always hard to play
You can't be on your own
Riding everybody's wave
Why you so two faced
Mehn it's not too late
Imma put you straight
I don't move this way
Won't sugar coat for a bag full of blueface
Geng geng for life
I don't need new friends
You lads moving mad and no be today
I be wan clear una so probably today
Right time I wrap things for things I have to say
Don't even try to act like you been knew me
Stars don't try to shine they just do it
Deep blue sea and hell I've been through it
Real life champion
God's plan is too much for you ordinary
People still love me
[Fireboy DML:]
The life I live comes with enemies
I hear my spirit and it's telling me
I gotta be careful
To be careful, always
Make dem dey love me from afar
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
Make dem dey love me from afar
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
E pay me o, e pay me o
Make dem dey love me from afar
