Tobi Don’t Touch!

TOBi’s 2020 full release ELEMENTS Vol. 1 struck a chord with vibes R&B fans, and the 28-year-old Nigerian and Canadian singer is riding off that success in 2021. Following a few collaborations and remixes of tracks off his last album, TOBi is back with “Don’t Touch!” This bouncy new track is sure to make it on to at least one of your Summer playlists, especially with KAYTRANADA and BADBADNOTGOOD’s hand in the production.

The track is pure energy from the beat to the vocals. A relentless kick drives the song all the way throughout with a complimentary snare and light hi-hat pulsing in and out of the track. Lush distorted chords flood the song every four beats accompanied by faint bells that provide an instrumental foundation while keeping TOBi’s voice the star of the song. Finally, an incredibly groovy bass line leads the verses and becomes more prominent in the chorus.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

[Chorus]
Aye, what’s that?
What’s that, what’s that, what’s that?
That’s a crown on my head, don’t touch
Don’t touch that, touch that, touch that, touch that
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Aye, what’s that?
What’s that, what’s that, what’s that?
That’s a crown on my head, don’t touch
Don’t touch that, no, don’t touch, don’t touch that
No, don’t touch

[Verse]
Who’s that, who’s that?
Real demolition man
My influencer’s ain’t got likes on their Instagram
But the moves they make just might break the Richter, man
Might fix your instrument
Mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check
Line drawn in the sand
Only time I play both sides, if I’m the middle man
Young, black, gifted, I don’t give a damn
Living in a world where you gotta buy your innocence
Still got the game with the padlock on
Every line hit like the cap lock on
How you paint a picture with the backdrop gone?
Yeah, we in the field, but you won’t see me dead in it
Still thinking bout Flint, Michigan
Children, they ain’t ask for mineral water, but they got lead in it
Ain’t no care for the dear wicked
When your bedroom just a room with a bed in it

[Bridge]
Power tripping, so they got to go
Power tripping, so they got to go
Power tripping, so they got to go
Power tripping, so they got to go
So they got to go
For the minds who don’t ever sleep
I hope that tonight you get better dreams
One time for the ones who are scared to love
I hope one day you surrender all
One time for the minds who don’t ever sleep
I hope that tonight you get better dreams
One time for the ones who are scared to love
I hope one day you surrender all

[Chorus]
Aye, what’s that?
What’s that, what’s that, what’s that?
That’s a crown on my head, don’t touch
Don’t touch that, touch that, touch that, touch that
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Aye, what’s that?
What’s that, what’s that, what’s that?
That’s a crown on my head, don’t touch
Don’t touch that, no, don’t touch, don’t touch that
No, don’t touch that

[Outro]
Not at all, not at all
Don’t touch
Don’t touch
