Davido takes a proud victory lap on I Know Who I Be, a bright, happy Afrobeats song about knowing your worth. It mixes classic West African highlife guitar with a modern Afro-pop beat, and it feels like a crown being put on.
The song is about pride in where you come from. Davido tunes out the critics, the doubters, and the noise of the internet, and he roots himself in his story and his legacy. He sings in a lively mix of Pidgin English, Yoruba sayings, and catchy English hooks. .
The music is sunny and full of energy. Bright, tumbling guitar lines and big, victorious brass hits lock into a steady Afrobeat kick and a warm, rolling bass that make you two-step right away. Crisp shakers and highlife horn stabs give it a big party feel.
Davido sings in his rough, energetic voice, with catchy call-and-response hooks that cut through the full sound and make the whole crowd sing along.
If you want an upbeat Afrobeats anthem about self-worth and legacy, this one is for you. Download I Know Who I Be by Davido and play it loud.
Davido - I Know Who I Be Lyrics
My designer, waka-waka
Balenciaga and Prada
You must have gone insane if you think your story
Your story is my story
I know who I be (I know who I be)
Who am I? I'm a bad guy
My designer, waka-waka
Balenciaga and Prada
You must have gone insane if you think your story
Your story is my story
I know who I be, I know who I be
Watch how I do it (do it)
Mama, watch how I do it (do it)
They no fit run am, e too late
Me, I no fit dull am, e too late (too late, too late)
I go double-double, make dem double hustle, ṣá
Tell dem say, I say, "Na 30BG, so na 30 bottles, ṣá"
Yeah, enjoyment galori
After hustle, na to Chi'
Celebration, confetti
Give dеm pressure, Anini
I know who I be (Baddеst)
And there's no other me
Money plenty, no fugazi
No competi', no do pass me
Who am I? I'm a bad guy
My designer, waka-waka
Balenciaga and Prada
You must have gone insane if you think your story
Your story is my story
I know who I be, I know who I be
Who am I? I'm a bad guy
My designer, waka-waka
Balenciaga and Prada
You must have gone insane if you think your story
Your story is my story
I know who I be, I know who I be
Full circle mo-, full circle moment (full circle moment)
Man, I'll never stop, made me a promise
I feel the love (it's in abundance)
Legendary, legendary na who I be
Yeah, enjoyment galori (galori)
After hustle, na to Chi'
Celebration, confetti
Give dem pressure, Anini
I know who I be (Baddest)
And there's no other me
Legendary, legendary na who I be
Who am I? I'm a bad guy
My designer, waka-waka

You must have gone insane if you think your story
Your story is my story
I know who I be, I know who I be
Who am I? I'm a bad guy
My designer, waka-waka

You must have gone insane if you think your story
Your story is my story

You must have gone insane if you think your story
