Burna Boy - Whiskey
Nigerian icon Burna Boy delivers Whiskey, one of the most socially conscious and emotionally charged tracks from his Love, Damini album.
The song brims with poignant storytelling, as Burna Boy channels themes of environmental crisis, societal neglect, and the struggles faced by communities in Nigeria — particularly the devastating effects of oil pollution in the Niger Delta. His delivery is raw and reflective, blending personal pain with collective outcry.
Anchored by haunting melodies and steady percussion, the production shines with the pulse of Afrobeats, while weaving in the depth of Soul and the resonance of Reggae.
Infused with this trio — Afrobeats, Soul, Reggae — Whiskey lands as a powerful anthem of awareness, urging listeners to confront harsh realities while still carrying Burna Boy’s signature artistry.

Whiskey Lyrics:
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
Some people bind and cast
Some of them pray and fast
See pastor don dey fat
Shey na the thing God command
Because of oil and gas, my city so dark
Pollution make the air turn black
Every man have to stay on guard
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
People dey sleep for their house dey get no work
Some they walk on the other side of town
Dey dem for hold up, some they pray for the traffic
Make dey hail you make you show love
When e reach when to go back home you go go club
I no say e no easy my brother
Cause you dey take am easy my brother
As long as you are breathing my brother
As long as you no sink inside water
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
I fall too easy, and I poured the whiskey
But no be disability, oh, no be disability, oh
People wey dey pray for the rain but e no fall
Rain dey fall for another mans place and e no stop
E be like swimming pool for him house as e don flood
All the things wey him get for his house many don lost
