Lyrics to Davido’s ‘Stand Strong’ ft The Samples
[Intro]
Rii..
[Verse 1]
Baba told me keep your head up, high
Even though your body full of bite bite from all dem canines
Steady moving, am just living life
And so many people in my business, so many chookin eyes
[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 44 looking over
Dem no fit stop us, I know that
And every show is to shutdown
[Chorus]
Coz I stand Strong, O.B.O no go minus
O.B.O Elemi 9+
Big fish flow like the Ocean ooh
Omo I stand Strong

O.B.O Elemi 9+
Can’t deny my devotion, oh
(Interlude)
Coz I stand strong

O.B.O Elemi 9+

[Verse 2]
Look in my eyes
You see th? money and the fame
Me don’t know what is going on in my life
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

And every show is to shutdown

Commentary on Davido’s ‘Stay Strong’
Below is the review of the ‘Stand-Strong’ by Naija banquet.
Title
The title of Davido’s new song ‘Stand Strong’ fit the song perfectly. It summarises the singer’s message of motivation and hope to people battling with one challenge or the other.
There comes a time in everyone’s life when everything seems as though they are in shambles. Indeed one cannot escape the difficulties in life, especially when on the highway to success. But what has to be strong and not waiver whatever might be the challenge.
According to him, this single off his next album is a special one. Looking back, Davido reminisces on his music journey and the encounters he has had with different challenges.
In making us feel his travails as an artiste in a ‘part where everyday is battle,’ Davido advises his listeners to keep stay strong, hold up and continue to live life because in the end, the sun will smile on them again.
Verisimilitude
Realism is very important in measuring the quality if an artwork. Davido’s ‘Stand Strong’ did not offer less. It portrays the struggle of a typical dream chaser in the midst of haters.
Many times, we wonder why the world shifts attention at us and throws all kinds of shades of insults at us. We question, why me? This song specifically draws our attention to the life of the singer who finds himself amid enemies.
Since some ten years when Davido began his musical journey till now, it has been a rollercoaster of good and bad times. He earned nothing on a platter of gold, despite his coming from a wealthy family.
Like Davido, many people out there are disliked for nothing. It angers people when they see them thriving. This reality is a universal syndrome. And they way the lyrics expresses this issue from the singer’s perspective is impressive.
Rendition
As observed this particular song is very unlike what Davido used to sound. It is lyrical music that connects the listener to the soul of the song as it makes us feel the emotions attached to the song in it’s raw form.
Davido did as a bang-up job with this single off his next album, I must admit. He did not only bring clarity to his thoughts through vivid expressions but also communicates them in some good tunes.
Also, the vocals and harmony of the Los Angeles The Sample Choir also add more sauce to it, resulting in a sweet melody.
Tune/Mixagem
Though the song thrives on a simple and familiar tune, the dimensions DAVIDO and The Samples bring to the song are quite impressive. Neither of the vocals and instrumentals overshadows the other. This symphony is top notch and spot on. A melody!
Rating
For pulling this beautiful record, Davido’s ‘Stand Strong’ deserves 4 out of 5 stars!
