Mister Yaya

[Verse 1]
Gbéssia Airport, parked yellow car (eh)
Here, the sun beats down, and there's no air conditioning (eh)
The price goes up when everyone wants to barter (eh)
Get in the left door, the right one is jammed
 
[Bridge]1
If you're going to Kindia, drive me to Kindia
If you're going to Labé, drive me to Labé
If you're going to Lélouma, drive me to Lélouma
If you're going to Tougué, drive me to Tougué
 
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no time for sleep (sleep)
We're going to keep driving, driving until the night
No need for an itinerary (itinerary)
In the town, we're all hustlers
Time is CFA Francs2
We're going to keep driving, driving until the night
No need for an itinerary (itinerary)
In the town, we're all hustlers
 
[Chorus]
I only drive with Mister Yaya, Yaya, Yaya
I only drive with Mister Yaya, Yaya, Yaya
 
[Verse 2]
The petrol is expensive but it's ok
A little mouthful of mum's bissap3
And there's a ton of people in Madina, I need to make money
I hear my name everywhere, here, everyone knows me
In Conakry it's sweet
There's no doubt even if the road to Kissidougou is bad
I have to think about redoing my yard
Here, the women can take your breath away, the most beautiful women are here
 
[Bridge]
If you're going to Kindia, I'll go to Kindia
If you're going to Labé, I'll go to Labé
If you're going to Lélouma, I'll go to Lélouma
If you're going to Tougué, I'll go to Tougué
 
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no time for sleep (sleep)
We're going to keep driving, driving until the night
No need for an itinerary (itinerary)
In the town, we're all hustlers
Time is 4
 
We're going to keep driving, driving until the night
No need for an itinerary (itinerary)
In the town, we're all hustlers
 
[Chorus]
I only drive with Mister Yaya5, Yaya, Yaya
I only drive with Mister Yaya, Yaya, Yaya
 
[Bridge]6
If you're going to Dalaba, I'll go to Dalaba
If you're going to Kamsar, I'll go to Kamsar
If you're going to Kankan, I'll go to Kankan
If you're going to Yimbéring, I'll go to Yimbéring
I'll go to Abidjan
I'll go to Dakar
I'll go to Bamako
 
[Chorus]
I only drive with Mister Yaya, Yaya, Yaya
I only drive with Mister Yaya, Yaya, Yaya
