Burna Boy & Dave, Cheat On Me: The English Lyrics & Their Meaning
The Intro and Chorus of “Cheat On Me” lyrics by Burna Boy and Dave repeat “Ah, and I couldn’t see, I was cheating on, cheating on me”. Then, in the refrain, Burna Boy reveals that he wishes to enjoy his luck and success with his friends. His first priority is to grant them a visa as well so they can experience his life. The Nigerian singer wishes to uplift his friends. He addresses stress during the visa interview by the lines “Me, I just wan make my people dey visa, visa // So I give dem my heart and my liver // If e dey stress you, make you leave am, leave am”. To “Give dem my heart and my liver” means to take care of his friends by giving as much as he can. Then, “No be everybody be believer” means diversity can be beneficial if all of us are believers. The lines “I be caught on like Jesus // Before you start to criticize, consider, oh, consider, oh” means he is focused on his own goal, just like Jesus.
In the first verse, Burna Boy talks about the struggles of getting a visa. The Nigerian singer repeats the same sentiments in the outro of the song. He is trying to get a visa for himself and his friends while the visa officer asks about intentions of returning back and connections to terrorist groups such as the Taliban and Al-Queda. He assures them that they are not trying to leave the town. The singer is simply taking his friends on a tour with him. The line “Na psychology, oh, say psychology” means he is learning from his flaws as well as from the flaws of other people. In The Bridge, Burna Boy gets emotional and shares his loyalty. This is expressed in the lines “If I ever said I loved you // Then I’ll always be by your side”.
Dave, in the second verse of “Cheat On Me” lyrics, talks about his personal struggles to get a visa. Then, the UK rapper talks about traveling to Ibiza with his romantic interest. They couldn’t deny him and his girlfriend a visa as there was no objection. Dave says his girlfriend is loyal and is there for him even when he is down badly. She doesn’t have luxurious wishes and dreams. He gives a shoutout to V12, Hennessy, Casamigos, Rolls Royce, and Mario. The lines “I’m Asamoah Gyan, the way I hit the bar // Fine boy, no pimple, no tats” mean he feels safe around people in the bar who have fewer tattoos with clear skin. Appearance is always what people judge, most of the time.
