Davido's 'Stand Strong' Is Out Now! [LISTEN + LYRICS]

Afrobeats star Davido is out with his soul-lifting single 'Stand Strong' assisted by American choir group 'The Samples' popularly known for co-leading Kanye West's Sunday service.

'Stand Strong' is produced by music producer Pheelz and serves as Davido's first official single of the year.

The new single is off Davido's upcoming studio album.

Announcing the single earlier this week, Davido said the making of the song and his mindset while making it was different.

Davido mentioned that he has always made danceable songs but 'Stand Strong' will make listeners feel.

“This one is special to me. It’s different. The conception has been different. The mindset has been different. The making has been different. I know you love it when I make you dance, but now I want to make you feel. This one’s for everyone out there holding it up. I know what I’ve experienced the past 10 years, and alot of you have been through it all with me. But… have you really? For the first time I want to bring you into the other part of my world. The part where every day is a battle but I have no option but to STAND STRONG. I present to you, the first single off my next album.”

Lyrics

[Intro]
Rii..

[Verse 1]
Papa told me keep your head up high
Even though your body full of bite marks from all dem canines
Steady moving, I'm just living life
And so many people in my business, so many chookin eyes

[Pre-Chrous]
My fears are easier to face now (face now)
In the front of my haters
Steady chasing my paper
Sipping Martel with no
My steps are guided by Jehovah
And 44 looking over
Dem no fit stop us, I know that
And every show is a shutdown

[Chorus]
Cos I stand Strong
O.B.O no go minus
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
Big fish flow like the ocean ooh

Omo I stand Strong
30BG dey my back oh
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
Can’t deny my devotion, oh

(Interlude)
Cos I stand strong
O.B.O no go minus
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
Can’t deny my devotion

[Verse 2]
Look in my еyes
You see the money and the fame, it's a ?
I really don’t know what's going on in my life
In my life (what’s going on in my life)

No pleasure comes from pain
No money fall like rain
This thing dey burst my brain
But it’s all lovvvveee

[Pre-Chrous]
My fears are easier to face now
In the front of my haters
Steady chasing my paper
Sipping Martel with no ?

My steps are guided by Jehovah
And my Mama looking over
Yes we rise by lifting other
And that Is the law of the lifetime

[Chorus]
Cos I stand Strong
O.B.O no go minus
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
Big fish flow like the ocean ooh

Omo I stand Strong
30BG dey my back oh
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
Can’t deny my devotion, oh

(Interlude)
Cos I stand strong
(Oooh Oh!)
O.B.O no go minus
(If I tell you say e easy na Zobo!)
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
(Oooh Oh!)
Can’t deny my devotion, Ooh Oh!

Cos I stand strong
O.B.O no go minus
(That’s the reason why dem call me DAVIDO)
O.B.O Elemi 9 plus
Can’t deny my devotion, Ooh Oh!

[Outro]
Cos I stand strong
O.B.O no go minus
Baddest!!!
O.B.O Elemi (O.B.O elemi 9 plus)
Can’t deny my devotion
