City Boys

A city boy is a slang term for a man who lives his best life. He is someone who focuses on his success and is seen as sophisticated. On this braggadocious anthem, Burna Boy blends his signature Afro-fusion with US hip-hop. The Nigerian star boasts of how he's a successful city boy who gets girls from both the ghetto and uptown.

"City Boys" kicks off with a snippet from British rapper J Hus' Instagram story. In it, J Hus dismantles the notion of his own "ugly" perception and proudly declares himself "sexy." The sample is a potent declaration of self-love and self-acceptance.

Burna Boy delivers the first part of the chorus in Yoruba, a language spoken in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria. Mi o fa'gbo lo rado BRKFST mo n fa o Translates into English as: I don't listen to noise I have breakfast with you He's not talking about the first meal of the day. BRKFST is Burna Boy's cannabis brand. Mi o de ni mu Jekonmo Azul and Champagne ni ma mu o Translates as: I don't have time for Jekonmo I'll have Azul and Champagne with you Burna Boy doesn't care for Jekonmo, a Nigerian herbal mixture sold in local markets and online. He prefers indulging in upmarket foreign beverages like Azul and Champagne.
