Life is sweet when the sun up
Like the trees in the summer
When the seas are troubled
Then we all need someone
My life Omo
No be small thing Omo
We all strive for more
To live life inna comfort
So forgive me if I fumble
'Cause I'm only human
Somebody move that I don't know
Hit them with the seven box combo
Always looking out my window
Paranoid and confused
I'm not sure anymore, yeah
Who is knocking at my door?
And so as the day comes, as I go on
Protect me Lord, I cannot, trust my neighbors
Be my savior
When that day comes
Defend me from my enemies and my neighbors
(JAE5)
You can bank on it
You can put a hundred grand pon it
Anything I said, I stand pon it
In a private plane, I land pon it
Le le ooh, dem dey call me Bankole
'Cause I walk around with a bank on me
Show them Gangnam style
Put the gang on 'em
Twist my fingers up and bang on 'em
Le le ooh, le le ooh, le le ooh
Different type of evil available
And any one of them can killi you
At anytime anything can happen o
Any one of us could have been Pop Smoke
We must go when the most high call us
So I'm paranoid, Borderline Bipolar
Wear my vest and clean my gun up
I ain't going out breda
You can bank on it
You can put a hundred grand pon it
Anything I said, I stand pon it
In a private plane, I land pon it
Le le ooh, dem dey call me Bankole
'Cause I walk around with a bank on me
Show them Gangnam style
Put the gang on 'em
Twist my fingers up and bang on 'em

To ba lomo ko ma jo
Nobody know tomorrow
Joro ka joro
And if a boy feel macho
Make him leak red like a tomato
If him nuh dead then him comatose
No go fumble, oh
As the day comes, as I go on
Guide and watch over me oh Lord
I cannot trust my neighbor
As the day comes, as I go on
Guide and watch over me oh Lord
I cannot trust my neighbor

Makna Lagu Bank on It - Burna Boy
Lagu “Bank on It” dari Burna Boy punya makna tentang kehidupan yang penuh ketidakpastian, rasa curiga, dan perjuangan untuk tetap bertahan, meskipun dari luar terlihat sudah sukses. Di awal lagu, Burna menggambarkan bahwa hidup memang bisa terasa indah, tapi semuanya bisa berubah kapan saja: “We all strive for more / To live life inna comfort”. Di balik kenyamanan itu, dia justru merasa paranoid dan sulit mempercayai orang, sampai mengatakan “I cannot trust my neighbors”. Apalagi ketika dia mengingat Pop Smoke lewat lirik “Any one of us could have been Pop Smoke”, yang menunjukkan kesadaran bahwa siapa pun bisa kehilangan hidup secara tiba-tiba.
Di sisi lain, “Bank on It” juga menjadi pernyataan tentang prinsip dan keyakinan terhadap diri sendiri. Kalimat “You can bank on it / Anything I said, I stand pon it” berarti orang lain bisa mengandalkan perkataannya karena dia akan berdiri di balik apa yang dia ucapkan. Jadi, lagu ini punya dua sisi: Burna yang terlihat kaya, sukses, dan powerful, tetapi di dalamnya tetap manusia yang takut kehilangan dan sadar bahwa hidup nggak pernah benar-benar aman. Pesannya kurang lebih, “Gue sudah sampai sejauh ini, tapi gue tahu dunia bisa berubah kapan saja—jadi gue tetap waspada, berpegang pada prinsip, dan menyerahkan sisanya kepada Tuhan.”
