Empty Chairs (feat. Burna Boy)

Am I the only one that's sitting in this hot seat?
Am I the only one that's listening to this heart's beat?
Your friends all lie, and your enemies cheat
Watching the world drive by

You might think that you're sitting on a throne
But, to me, it's just an empty chair, hm
And that's my icy glare
Last time I checked, there was nobody there, hm
Took my place without fare
Seems unfair, but this is more fair
Troops on the loose, no civilian here
'Cause my circle don't need no square, nah

Because I dey for the long ride
I get to push all my feelings, go one side
I be real general, so I can cry
I just say that it's alright
And I don wise, don't reveal my plans
So they don't get no warning in advance
Take them by surprise, it's important
If you want your enemy's fate to be in your hands

You might think that you're sitting on a goldmine
But it will soon be revealed, mm
All is not what it seems
Last time I checked, you were living in a dream
Woke you up, showed you what a good friend I've been
What a friend for if not for inconvenience?
Not always there, I pull up when I'm needed
The seeds wey you sow, you could reap them

Was in the courtroom
It was me, the judge, and the jury, and some empty chairs, mm
And Uncle T was there
Looking at the judge with an empty stare, mm
Prosecution don't care
Tryna make the judge give me seventy years
Then God showed me myself in the heavenly mirror
Never lie, grandma I see there

Am I the only one that's sitting in this hot seat?
Am I the only one that's listening to this heart's beat?
Your friends all lie, and your enemies cheat
Watching the world drive by
Watching the world flash by

No, this world na housing scheme
If you poor, you be victim of profiling
If you no be politician, and you manage get rich
Them go turn you to victim of society
My enemies are no longer on the street or the roads
Now they're on the internet or the blogs
And in my sold-out shows looking for empty chairs

(How do we) Free up and break these chairs?
(Why do we have) Give up just 'cause we fair
(I believe) And do my best every day
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Am I the only one that's sitting in this hot seat?
Everyone around me is just so indiscrete
Your friends all lie, and your enemies cheat
Watching the world drive by
Watching the world flash by
