The chemistry between ‘Take A Daytrip’ and Octavian is unmatched. The two teamed up last year on “Stressed” and now, they’ve linked up again for “Poison.” Alongside Nigerian artists Obonjayar and Santi, they deliver a delirious banger fused with the rhythms of afrobeat. With a dash of auto-tune scattered throughout the record, the four artists use “Poison” as a euphemism for toxic relationships. Obongjayar’s hallucinatory vocals on the hook tie in everything together as Santi and Octavian bring anxiety-fueled verses to the table.
This single follows the release of Octavian’s “Papi Chulo” ft. Skepta. Even though it seems there are many artists holding back the release of new music in the wake of the pandemic, maybe Octavian’s follow-up to Endorphins will arrive at some point soon.
Octavian – Poison (ft. Obongjayar, Take A Daytrip & Santi) (prod. Take a Daytrip)

[Intro]
Daytrip took it to 10
[Chorus: Obongjayar]
You’re my poison, poison
Baby, love me till I overdose
Till I overdose, overdose
You’re my poison, poison
Baby, love me till I overdose
Till I overdose, overdose
[Verse 1: Octavian]
Go look at that girl
Man what is this? (look at her wining)
He said: “a girl like that will leave your mind a wreck”
I met her in the line
She like: “Nigga stop trying”
She keep that poker face on when she lying
She left her ex man, she didn’t cry for him
She on to the next, she keep climbing
She don’t holla
Ooh, she want to pounce them dollars
Yeah, she take it all with no lovin’
Ooh, she take it, won’t leave you with nothing
How could you be so bad man?
You must be buggin’ (you’re my…)
Girl you want too much, you move too extra
Move, imma give you no direction
And uh, she wanted to get in our section
Bet you’re not used to no rejection
[Chorus: Obongjayar]
You’re my poison, poison
Baby love me till I overdose
Till I overdose, overdose
You’re my poison, poison
Baby love me till I overdose
Till I overdose, overdose
[Verse 2: Octavian]
You keep running from the sin again (ooooh)
I hope the dance hits me again
Too much drugs mi ah carry
Too much trouble and drugs mi ah carry
And I hope and I pray
That you ah put them thoughts in the grave
Said you’ll love me always
Give you all my love but you drive me insane
[Verse 3: Santi]
Okay you just keep calling me up
You just keep it coming in a three six
Down, like the bass stop, oh man, in this shit, yeah (oh)
Say good morning
Don’t just stay in the dark
I don’t want the morning
Okay now, longing
Moving like a sinner, can you hold me? (can you? can you?)
I got you right where you want it
No pictures ayy
It’s like poison baby
[Chorus: Obongjayar]
You’re my poison, poison
Baby love me till I overdose
Till I overdose, overdose
You’re my poison, poison
Baby love me till I overdose
Till I overdose, overdose
[Outro]
Daytrip took it to 10 (Hey!)
