Balablu (Mumu) Lyrics
She make me wanna
Girl U make me wanna
[Verse]
U make me wanna Balablu
Every time I'm with u
On Ma mind like a brain tattoo
U Stick with me like superglue
I don tire to Dey play
Scatter the stage
If you're not the one then why do u stay
No be today, u keep me awake
24 hours of everyday
Bullabaa, for my campaign
Palava, wetin remain
Wahala but I can't complain
Rihana, this must be this must be love on the brain
[Chorus]
I'm a fool, solo para ti
I'm a fool, solo para ti
I don turn mumu, solo para ti
I don turn mumu, solo para ti
[Hook]
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look fire
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look lush
Pretty girl na u choke my mind
If she enter here the music hush hush hush Cállate
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look lush
Pretty girl na u choke my mind
If she enter here the music hush hush hush. Cállate
[Verse]
Me haces querer dejar a la persona con la que estoy
Empezar una nueva relación contigo
Esto es lo que haces
Piensa en un anillo y todas las cosas que vienen contigo
[Chorus]
I'm a fool, solo para ti
I'm a fool, solo para ti
I don turn mumu, solo para ti
I don turn mumu, solo para ti
[Hook]
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look fire
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look lush
Pretty girl na u choke my mind
If she enter here the music hush hush hush
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look fire
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look lush
Pretty girl na u choke my mind
If she enter here the music hush hush hush
Cuz she's singing her own tune
With her own DJ and her own booth
When u hear her voice its like soul food
Like a butterfly freed from a cocoon
Got ma dawgs here howling at your moon
No finesse, ur my Guinness, extra smooth
Every other girl must bow for u
Cuz U 2 smart, na u go school
[Chorus]
I'm a fool, solo para ti
I'm a fool, solo para ti
I don turn mumu, solo para ti
I don turn mumu, solo para ti
[Hook]
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look fire
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look lush
Pretty girl na u choke my mind
If she enter here the music hush hush hush
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look fire
Wasn't only cuz ur lips look lush
Pretty girl na u choke my mind
If she enter here the music hush hush hush. Cállate
About
Balablu (Mumu) is an Afropop & Latino fusion song now termed ‘AfroLatino’ by T.B.E.
It describes the way we feel about our lovers when we are with them. The butterflies in our tummy, dogs howling at the moon, the Balablus and Bulabaas (both meaning gibberish) because of the awesomeness of her presence.
‘Balablu’, ‘Bulabaa’ & ‘Mumu’ mean Gibberish and foolishness in Nigerian Pidgin English.
Balablu & Bulabaa were words used by the current President of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his 2023 presidential campaign with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2022. He had a brain fart and lost his train of thought while making a speech (This can happen to anyone during a stressful campaign) and said ‘Balablu… Bulabaa’ which is gibberish. So as the first verse goes ‘You make me wanna Balablu’; that was the meaning.
PS This song is in no way shape or form aimed at mocking or creating any political jabs at the Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu or the APC. It is strictly poetic and descriptive in nature and should never be used for such.
