On “Love And Life” which solely talks about Love Life, Basketmouth called for the vocal assistance of Nigerian heavyweight lynchpins, Simi, M.I Abaga and Johnny Drille who all entertained with their trademark vocal dexterities.
Johnny Drille gave an electrifying chorus after introducing himself with his fine singing voice while Simi assisted with her own vibe. M.I Abaga adds some undying bars and slick wordplays on the record, “Love And Life”; let’s say Basketmouth has the full house needed to make the melody a hit.
However, the RnB love-base melody was fetched off Basketmouth’s just-unbolted studio work of art, “Horoscopes” album which houses 9 great sounds with total vocal dominance from guest appearances like Falz, The Cavemen, Reekado Banks, 2Baba and many others.
In addition, the sound has production instinct exhibited by raw-talented sound engineer, Duktor Sett.
Basketmouth – Love And Life (ft. Simi, M.I Abaga, Johnny Drille) (prod. Duktor Sett)
[Verse 1: Johnny Drille]
Girl you no longer talk to me
If I hurt you I’m so sorry
I’m not calling you a liar
But there’s something you’re not saying
I know I know your desire
Your heart is not here with me
I’ve been feeling insecure
Been trying to earn your love
I’m out of luck cos
You’re in love with a stone-cold killer
[Chorus: Johnny Drille]
Why don’t you love me like you love yeah yeah
You don’t know I’ve been crying since you left me
You never ring me back
Never ring me back
You never do
Oh Girl are you coming back ?
Are you coming back ?
Or should I leave ?
I won’t lie I’m cold and shiver
Been smoking hurting my liver
I’m seeking and getting that fever
Cos you’re in love with a stone-cold killer
[Verse 2: Simi]
So why you scared that I let you go go
It’s complicated but I love you so so
You see the heart wants what it wants
I loved him but you got to know that I love you more yeah
[Chorus: Simi, Johnny Drille]
Why don’t you trust me like I trust you
When everything I do is for you
You never ring me back
Never ring me back
You never do
But boy I be running back
I be running back
Before you move
I won’t lie I’m cold and shiver
Been smoking hurting my liver
I’m seeking and getting that fever
Cos you’re in love with a stone-cold killer
[Verse 3: M.I Abaga]
Yeah
She no want stone-cold
Keep her with love, on code
You get man ?
Don’t worry
Don’t wanna know
I get bottle and get smoke for when you show
No long talk, Please undress just by the door
When our bodies touch, It’s like the moon cries
Let me bless your skin, ah ah
(?)
Love to listen to you when I’m on top
Like boom mics
So just talk to me, tell me tales by moonlight
Baby
I’ve done many things I’m not proud of, proud of
Enter shit I’m trying get out of, out of
One thing keeps me sane and that’s our love, our love
Your love reminds me of Jah love, Jah love
[Chorus: Johnny Drille]
Why don’t you love me like you love yeah yeah
You don’t know I’ve been crying since you left me
You never ring me back
Never ring me back
You never do
Oh, Girl are you coming back ?
Are you coming back ?
Or should I move ?
I won’t lie I’m cold and shiver
Been smoking hurting my liver
I’m seeking and getting that fever
Cos you’re in love with a stone-cold killer
