The lyrics of Wizkid's song "Bombay" are about a man who is enamored by a woman's body and is willing to spend all his money on her. The lyrics describe how the woman's body shape - especially her great behind - is so amazing that it's bigger than the city of Bombay. Despite his willingness to spend all his money on her, he laments that his gain still hasn't made as much profit as he hoped it would. The song takes an interesting turn when Phyno's verse comes on. He sings in Igbo about how he feels about the woman and what he'll do for her. Throughout the song, both Wizkid and Phyno show their love for the woman's body and how they want to be with her.
