Dem Dey Lyrics – Burna Boy

Dem Dey Lyrics Meaning

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Burna Boy is telling people to stop pretending or acting tough. He’s saying if you don’t understand him or what he’s about, just forget it. He points out he hasn’t bought a fancy car like a Lamborghini, so people shouldn’t be shouting or acting like they’re better just because of that. He’s basically saying, don’t judge or make noise about things you don’t really know.

[Chorus]
He’s asking where those people who talk a lot or pretend to be important really are. He says he doesn’t see them around, so where exactly are they hiding?

[Verse 1]
Burna Boy talks about putting some money into cryptocurrency, and how everyone is interested or involved in it these days.

[Chorus]
Again, he questions where those people who claim to be around really are, because he can’t find them.

[Verse 2]
He says money is getting hot, meaning it’s moving fast, and others can’t keep up with him. He calls himself wise and asks if people can see that he’s smart and ahead.

[Refrain]
This part warns against wasting time on foolishness or messing around in the streets. People who act careless or silly will face trouble, and Burna Boy says this song is a hit, calling it a banger with energy and style.

[Verse 3]
Burna Boy thanks everyone who supports him, especially new fans who just joined his movement. He welcomes them warmly but also tells anyone who thinks he’s arrogant to just leave if they don’t like him. He’s confident that if he doesn’t succeed, then something really bad should happen to him, showing how serious he is about delivering results.

[Verse 4]
He talks about how many people have failed or given up already, but he keeps going strong. He says he’s carrying his own weight, even when things are tough. He warns others not to make him suspicious or doubt his actions. He tells someone to stop acting like that and says all the people connected to them have reached out to him. He hints that if anyone causes trouble, he will respond quickly. Then he encourages enjoying life, hoping nothing bad happens to anyone.

[Pre-Chorus]
This repeats the earlier message telling people to stop pretending or shouting without reason. Burna Boy says if you don’t understand his vibe, just forget about it. He hasn’t bought expensive cars, so people shouldn’t make noise thinking they’re better because of material things.

[Chorus]
He repeats his question about where the fake or loud people actually are since he can’t see them anywhere. He’s basically calling out those who only talk but don’t show up.

[Post-Chorus]
This part repeats the warning not to waste time messing around or causing trouble. Burna Boy says those people who act wild will get exposed, and the song is a strong, energetic hit.

[Outro]
The repeated word means “chief” or “boss,” showing respect or confidence.
