MUSIC LYRICS: Naira Maley- “Japa”
Issa Goal Crooner, Naira Marley is out with a new song titled ‘Japa’. The key pioneer in the UK AfroBashment scene, fusing his inimitable Lagos accent with trap, bashment, grime and afrobeats to create a sound that encapsulates the melting pot of London’s constantly innovative club scene.

As a correction, it is Popo behind my back and I aint gon stop. Popo is a slang for police, so he is saying in the song that police are after him and hes not stopping.
