Enny got her career off the ground when she was creating freestyle videos on YouTube. These videos lead to her self-released debut single, "He's Not Into You", in April 2020, which features life lessons on dream relationships. With this hit single, Enny was recognized and introduced to the studio program, Root 73, by her certain manager, Pascal. She would later be scouted by English singer-songwriter Jorja Smith who signed her to her own label FAMM. This is what sparked her career to have more popular song releases such as "Peng Black Girls" which was produced in 2021. Being the most popular with fans, the song's initial release had over a million views. With the collaboration with Jorja Smith, the song's remix gained over 5 million more views. Enny is becoming a part of the golden age of UK rappers and continues to create music.
I Want
Enny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm happy, I'm calm, I'm jiggy, I'm sweet
I'm chasing my dreams, you're aggy with me
'Cause I didn't fit in the mould of your schemes
Not reckless enough to go spend all my P's
But cautious enough to invest in my dreams
The vision, the board, the flying abroad
The Gucci, Prada, you're lost in the sauce
Identity crisis for me and my crew
We're black and we're British and African too, but so far removed
I'd like to go back to my mother's land
I'd like mental peace and a hundred grand
And a peng ass babes and we'll do up raves
Like it's '98, I'm so '94
But I want what I want and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah
See, I want what I want and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah
I want a lot less work, a lot more money
A vacation home, a Nigerian honey
Who laughs at my jokes even when they're not funny
Support my cause and I'll support yours
Buy me a Benz, look, I'll buy you a Bimmer

A Honda Accord, who's got the keys to the Porsche?
False, he's got some keys to a Ford
I'm so flawed, but that's calm
I can't sleep, I take Kalms
Herbal remedies like tea for me
Boujee-ass bitches drinking wine and cheese
Catch me in the dance drinking wine, say "Cheese"
You got that foot in your mouth situation
I've got that foot up my ass inspiration
World domination
But I want what I want and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah
See, I want what I want and I want when I want it
I paved the way for you to make a move, so get up on it
Keep holding yourself back, you can't make up your mind, yeah
Make up your mind
You gotta make up your mind
Make up your mind, yeah
