Bee naa ni
If i run if i run if i run if i run

Me and you, x3
Waa ti tobi waa ti sanra
Tori o tojo metta to re ilu oba
Bawo lohun se o n gburo Baraka
Ojule kejo opopona lantoro
O ku aduro ti, nigbati ko sowo
O ku ifarada ninu otutu
Gira ati burger, o je nkan to kundun
Ko le dabi amala ati obe ewedu
Ki gbogbo e je abula
Iyen maa munu kun
Mo lero pe o gbagbe abinibi
Ka soro pele ka tun ri ni ki
Ogorun naira ti wa lodindi
Ma beru dia a duro ni sinsin
Koko oro mi ni pe ko ma gbagbe
Ko maa ranti nigba to ba n kawe
If i run if i run i run far away me and you x3, girl

Oluwa fun mi la la i gba kobo
Iyato laarin funfun ati dudu
Igbe alaafia ati ninu tubu
Oke ile otun pelu osi

The lyrics of Jhybo's song "Far Away" are a mix of English and Yoruba. At the beginning of the song, Jhybo thanks the Yankees (Americans), before saying "if I run, if I run, if I run, if I run, I run far away." The song then proceeds to talk about different elements of life, from being successful and winning at life (tobi waa ti sanra), to feeling pain (o ku aduro ti) and going through difficult times (nigbati ko sowo). The lyrics also talk about the importance of remembering where one comes from and not forgetting one's roots, and the idea that running away might not always solve one's problems.
The song combines elements of hip hop and Afrobeats, with a catchy beat that is sure to get people dancing. The lyrics are both thought-provoking and melodic, making it a popular track among fans of Nigerian music.
