Burna Boy - Common Person
From his Love, Damini album, Common Person is one of Burna Boy’s most soulful and heartfelt tracks, where he strips back the bravado to embrace humility and gratitude.
The song brims with warm lyricism and emotional delivery, as Burna Boy channels themes of simplicity, humanity, and the joy of living an ordinary life despite fame and success. It’s a tribute to everyday people, celebrating dignity and resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
Anchored by gentle guitar riffs and mellow percussion, the production shines with the pulse of Afrobeats, while weaving in the depth of Highlife and the warmth of Soul.
Infused with this trio — Afrobeats, Highlife, Soul — Common Person lands as a timeless anthem of humility and connection, reminding listeners that greatness is found in embracing one’s roots and humanity.

Common Person Lyrics:
(Bong)
(Bong killa)
Na me wey dey clean una house
Na me wey dey wash una car
Na me wey dey cook ununu
Na me wey dey wash una cloth
Na me wey dey work for your shop
Na me wey dey hawk ununu
I be common person, but my happiness, oh, still be my own
Everybody get role, no mean say your own role passin' my own
I be common person, but my happiness, oh, still be my own
Everybody get role, no mean say your own role passin' my own
Because na God, I dey put all my faith, food for my plate
Fit no do me jo
Mm, balanso
Even as things no dey go my way
Even in days where no get nothing at all
Mm, balanso
Na me wey dey drive your bus
Na me wey drive your keke
Mm, balanso
Na me wey dey run around
Na me do the job
Mm, balanso
I be common person, but my happiness, oh, still be my own
Everybody get role, no mean say your own role passin' my own
