“Last Last,” from Burna Boy’s sixth studio album, Damini, Love, is currently trending on streaming services. The song’s lyrics are explained here.
The lead single “Last Last” from Burna Boy’s sixth studio album, Damini, Love, was released on May 13th, 2022.
In the song, Burna regrets losing the love of his life, who is British rapper and singer Stefflon Don.
He also makes references to his crashed Ferrari, as well as Nigerian music legend Baba Fryo and Soboma George, a Niger Delta militant who was killed in 2010.
People are curious about the lyrics’ true meaning because the African giant-singer uses lingo that combines English and Yoruba.
The song’s music video, which was co-directed by director TG Omori and the Grammy Award winner, was released on May 12th, 2022.
Here is the meaning of the lyrics to the hit new song “last last.”
last last lyrics meaning
“E don cast, last last, na everybody go chop breakfast”
The phrase “last last” in Nigerian speech typically indicates “finally.” The first line in the introduction includes the song’s title.
In a recent interview, Burna Boy stated that the slang phrase “to chop breakfast” means to experience heartbreak.
The singer’s devastating frustration in an emotional connection is the subject of the song, and he wishes to make the point that everyone will experience that kind of grief at some point in their lives.
“E don cast”
This is another slang phrase used in Nigeria to indicate that “It is ruined now.”
“She manipulate my love o“
According to the song’s lyrics, Burna Boy believes he did everything correctly. His emotions were being played with by the mother of one, Stefflon Don.
“I no holy and I no denge pose like baba fryo
My eye o don cry o”
This is a reference to Baba Fryo’s late 1990s hit single ‘Dem Go Dey Pose’, where he says:
“Dem go dey denge denge, Dem go dey pose.” It is a jab at egotistical people.
However, Burna Boy is being honest and not attempting to be pompous by acknowledging that he is not holy.
igbo and shayo meaning
“I need Igbo and shayo (Shayo)
I need Igbo and shayo (Shayo)“
Thus, it is apparent from the chorus that Burna Boy uses booze and smoking as a survival strategy for his heartbreak and grief. In Yoruba, “igbo” means “weed” and “shayo” means “alcohol.”
“my feelings been dey swing like jangolova”
Burna Boy’s suffering is genuine; in his slang, he describes how his emotions have fluctuated like a jangolova, a term used in Nigerian English to describe the swing set at playgrounds.
“Why you say I did nothing for you
When I for do anything you want me to do
Maybe another time, maybe another life you will be my wife and we’ll get it right”
Burna Boy makes it clear that he followed her instructions exactly, yet it still didn’t work. He muses on the possibility that, had things been different, Stefflon Don would have become his wife.
