The opening lines of the song indicate that the people who are drunk and having a good time are present. The singer says that the people who enjoy themselves are common and can be found in different places. He further adds people who didn't call him before are now calling him because he has become rich. Burna Boy then admits that what made him feel some type of way was an empty stomach, but now he has enough money. He made a call on his "Aza" account to request the sum of 10,000, and everyone also requested the same after he did. Burna Boy then thanks God for answering his prayers and proceeds to find another source of income.
In the second verse, Burna Boy expresses his desire to call his father and a friend who goes by the name Daddy Savi to thank them for their advice and assistance. He believes that his enemies will not mock him for his wealth as he enjoys his money and has a good time spending it. The singer knows how to make things happen by using his skills and charm (Jazzman abracadabra). Again, he repeats the chorus saying that no matter what, the money earned will enable him to support his wife and children and fulfill his needs.
