Only God Can Save Me

## Single by Joeboy

"**Only God Can Save Me**" is a song by Nigerian singer-songwriter Joeboy. It was released on 3 November 2023 as the lead single and track from his second extended play, *Body, Soul & Spirit* (2023).

## Background

He said in a press statement, "It's easy to get carried away and believe we can do it all ourselves. I came to the realization that I have no control over my journey in life. All I can do is cast my worries on God and believe he will handle it all." He continued, "The song came from a place of realization over a strange two-week period that had me questioning everything and everyone. I discovered a lot of negative things going on around me and started seeing people for who they truly were. I needed certain people to be there for me, but they disappeared. I truly felt alone, and it became obvious to me that human beings are not reliable, and most people are only there for you on the condition that they can gain something from you. I came to the realization that you are really and truly alone on this earth, and God is the only source of strength and succor."

**Lyrics**
[Verse]

My eye dey red

Many things for my head

Many things on my plate

I Dey scratch bear bear

Trouble comes any day

I no Dey panic o

I no Dey fear

Why dem wan cash my Cheque?

When dem no follow me sweat

That shit so weird

I no Dey like to pretend

What you see is what you get

Oh yeah yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

If I Dey down na who go lift me up?

If battery low na who go charge me up?

Is you my friend only in good times?

Shey you go Dey when I'm not fine

If you no go Dey when it's war time

No go show your face when my sunshine

If I Dey down na who go lift me up?

If battery low na who go charge me up?

Is you my friend only in good times?

Shey you go Dey when I'm not fine

If you no go Dey when it's war time

No go show your face when my sunshine

[Chorus]

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

I don't trust nobody o

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

Save me, save me

[Bridge]

Baba save me

No forsake me

Ti n won ba le mi

Ma je ko rimi

I don't know it all

And I no go form o

I no be perfect person

But I Dey give my all o

[Pre-Chorus]

If I Dey down na who go lift me up?

If battery low na who go charge me up?

Is you my friend only in good times?

Shey you go Dey when I'm not fine

If you no go Dey when it's war time

No go show your face when my sunshine

If I Dey down na who go lift me up?

If battery low na who go charge me up?

Is you my friend only in good times?

Shey you go Dey when I'm not fine

If you no go Dey when it's war time

No go show your face when my sunshine

[Chorus]

Only God can save me (only God)

Only God can save me (only God)

I don't trust nobody o (no)

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

Only God can save me

Save me, save me
