Summary of this Song Lyrics
________________________________
Be There Still Lyrics by Davido, is an uplifting Afrobeat anthem that speaks to resilience, ambition, and staying true to one’s path despite challenges. The artist begins by expressing a strong desire for success while still navigating the uncertainties of life. Even after over a decade in the game, they remain on top, suggesting both longevity and consistency. Despite moments of vulnerability (“days I sober”), there is an enduring belief in divine guidance and personal growth.
The pre-chorus reinforces a positive mindset, emphasizing forward movement without dwelling on the past (“Fast forward, no rewind”). The support of family is highlighted, and the artist acknowledges that not everyone is on their side—but that doesn’t shake their focus.
The chorus serves as a powerful mantra: wherever there is opportunity (“anywhere money dey”), the artist will show up. It speaks to hustle, global ambition (“across the border”), and the belief that their presence and success are part of a destined journey. The repetition of “I will be there still” reflects unwavering determination through life’s changes and uncertainties.
The second verse deepens the message with poetic lines like “My heart pure like pure water,” suggesting honesty and authenticity. The reference to water having no enemy (“water no get enemy”) implies peace and adaptability. Destiny remains a central theme, with the artist recognizing that pain and struggle are part of what shapes their greatness. Even as they travel the world (“mo ji Paris”), they remain grounded in their identity.
Overall, the song celebrates ambition, endurance, and faith. It blends personal reflection with motivational energy, set against a catchy and repetitive hook (“Gey gey”) that reinforces the artist’s vibe and determination. It’s a statement of purpose for anyone chasing success while staying true to themselves.
