Lyrics

[Chorus: Mick Jagger] 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

[Verse 1: Burna Boy] 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 fear Seems unfair, but this is warfare Troops on the loose, no civilian here 'Cause my circle don't need no square, nah

[Verse 2: Burna Boy] Because I dey for the long ride I get to push all my feelings, go one side I be real General, so I can't 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

[Verse 3: Burna Boy] 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

[Verse 4: Burna Boy] 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

[Chorus: Mick Jagger] 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

[Verse 5: Burna Boy] 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

[Interlude: Burna Boy, Choir] (How do we) Free up and break these chairs? (Why do we have) Give up just 'cause we fail (I believe) And do my best every day Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

[Chorus: Mick Jagger] 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
