For people who are finding it difficult to grasp what Burna is saying in this song please allow me to explain it in the best way I possibly can. ' Common Person' talks about life and the ups and downs that come with it. It talks about love and unity and always being your brother's keeper. Whether we're rich or poor, high or low we all come from the same place and we should always treat each other with respect. I feel like this song is preaching a message that extends deeper than the words on the surface. It reminds us that love is the greatest force in the world and no matter where you've been or where you come from we're always one. That is why I love Burna so much. His songs always carry the greatest relatability. Whatever you're going through in life there's always a Burna song for you. If you're happy, sad or whatever it is there's always a Burna song for you. No other artist touches me as much as Burna does. He goes into my very soul. That is what music does💯💯❤️❤️
Thank you so much for translating. Truly appreciated. You just shared the love Burna is singing about. His voice is so calming. So soothing. God bless you both.
I'm not from Nigeria or Africa but listening to Burna gives me a sense of purpose in life and I hope life leads me to Africa one day... I hope to raise my children there with the sense of love and happiness that Burna shows in his music...
As a medical doctor your music has helped me and even some of my patients...thank you for blessing this nation and the world at large with your talents
*Burna passes a deep message on this song, am a Sierra Leonean 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱, but I give so much respect to Nigerians for their level of creativity ♥️♥️ . I pray that love unites Africa and the world at Large*
This song reflects sense of humbleness, being self contented, and being the source of your own happiness irrespective of the life status that you're being through
Keyword "my happiness still be my own oh". No matter what you're going through, don't let it take your inner joy. Shout out to everyone out there doing their best👏🏾 🙌🏾. Thank you, Burner Boy, for this beautiful piece.
As a black man from Brazil, Burna's music touches my heart and soul, I feel myself connected with my nigerians brothers in the other side of the Ocean. It's more than a song, it's about roots, belonging, pride, Negritude (blackness), Panafricanism. "The message from Burna I believe would be, the every black person should please remember that : you're africans before you become anything else."
I agree. My boyfriend is African American. Born and raised in the city....never been to Africa. I lived there in Cote d'Ivoire for years. I miss Africa SO much. I want to bring my boyfriend to connect with his TRUE ROOTS. He's so caught up in the American post slave struggle.......needs to see the motherland.
Finally,the most anticipated video for the best song on the album is here,Burna Boy is the real definition of hard work pays ,he is always original,he never misses,Cameroon 🇨🇲 and Africa loves you ❤🔥🔥🔥
Nigerian has their dress code, melody, they don't try speak like American or any country, they so special for sure. No can stop me loving Nigerian music. Love from Tanzania👊
@CtrlAltDelicious69 they are mostly Nigerians, just for one or two. TG OMORI is the one they use the most. And he is very Nigerian. Please help point out the ones that aren't Nigerian
@CtrlAltDelicious69 name those Nigerian video directors they use the most that is not Nigeria. Clarence Peters, TG OMORI and sesan are used the most and they are all full Nigerian music video producers

Thank You burna. As I type, this tears rolls down my cheeks. Born out of wedlock. Mom died when I was only 6 year old. Looked down upon by the whole community. But all that didn't deter me from raising up to be the person I'm today. Thank You God I'm a corp. Happily married with two children 🙏
Such a great display of humility and of culture and of tradition. It's raw and rare in music of today. The artist in a sense is showing the world that he will always be Africa and Africa will always be him. Outside of the fame, he is a child of the sun, the dirt and water. I love this creative piece. 🇯🇲
Burna’s music became a voice for many Africans, and to many of us living abroad Common Person became our National Athem. That feeling abroad that every black person is Nigerian. Africa is one, Let’s all Unite.🎉
Burna Boy for Africa ..love from Zimbabwe ❣ happy moments are momentary; it is the internal peace that plays a great role in changing our lives for the better Thank you Burna for representing African culture💗
A well relatable song for everyone in the spot where people look up to you 🇿🇲🔥 We are all just common people regardless of the money or status you hold. God see's us the same
when I was a 7 year old girl (from The Netherlands) I started developing a passion for African percussion, I learned to play the djembe for 7 years straight. A lot of people had no idea or didn’t understand why I wanted to learn about African music but look where we are now, i’m so grateful that African music is taking over the world right now because it is absolutely amazing. Special love to Burna Boy!
So let's put your passion into making money, who knows, you could be the next big thing in the Netherlands who is an Afrobeat artist that also play the djembe.
The translation of the chorus to English: Chorus: I'm an ordinary person( everyday folk) But I still own my happiness Everybody has a role to play( in life), Doesn't mean that your role is more important, than mine.
I'm an ordinary person But I still owe my happiness 😊😊, Everybody has role to play in life Doesn't mean your own is more important than mine ... #Onelov
Les paroles 🔥🔥 meilleur chanson de l’album pour moi . Merci burna pour tant de talent je te suit depuis la Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮 🎉❤. Les francophones qui adorent aussi cette mélodie comme moi manifestez vous ☺️
I love the simplicity of this song and video. At least it gives a version of Burna Boy which many us didn't know. He's also a common person. I love this.
So deep. The beat, the people, the vibe. Watched the entire video with a big smile of my face. I'm from cote d ivoire ( born and raised) and been living in the states for 15 years and my gf is from Nigeria. My dad is originally from Benin which brings me even closer the Nigerian culture. This song brought so much childhood memories when traveling accross Africa with my parents. Good bless Africa. ❤️❤️ PS: I'LL PROBABLY BE THE PERSON BEHIND ALL THE VIEWS. ON REPEAT!!❤️🎉😩
I discussed this song with a friend froma philosophical point of view and it was interesting how Burn boy brings out the paradoxial meaning of being loved irrespective of fundamentals of life .The song also juxtaposes the essence of bring accepted by your family, friends because you belong not because you have become.most of us, we are accepted by our families, friends Because we have BECOME not because we BELONG and its a sad a reality that we need to change. Also from the song we can also be an inspiration to others,lets be an epitome of home to all around us ,and we all have a chance to inspire all people around us . I wish we can live forever....but if You are here 2050 know that l was here 2024 ... And l ove this song ❤
A great example of what a good man should be; humble, kind, and of service to their community. He helps the aunties, the uncles, and the children, not with money, but by seeing their needs and acting on it. A true inspiration ❤️💛💙
@@dembojuwara5506 No need to blame this generation of white people (not including western governments) for what happenend back then. We are divided enough as it is.. Don't forget that is was Africans who sold our brothers and sisters to white people..
I swear i felt so touched & utterly humbled when I saw Burna helping out preparing some vegetables for meals & pushing that car, I felt the need to same in my community when I see people in need no matter how bigger I get in life, the visuals really sends out a message not to just me but worldwide ❤️🙌🏾

I first heard this song when I was 20 year old kid in prison in 2009. I Went in at 17. Got my GED, did a Computing course and got trusty status. Me and 7 other inmates worked at the Kampala Rd Food Bank after completing the Computing course. I fought tears hearing this song on the bus ride at 5am on the way to work and this song still makes me tear up today. face-pink-tears😹
I cried whenever I listen to this song in 2023 and hoping that one day God will remember me and change my story. Today I’m a blessing to others 🙌🙌 August 2024 ❤❤❤❤
the first instance of hearing the song It made me happy. the third time I heard it made me sad. realising that the common Nigerian man is suffering and smiling at the same time. excellent music!
This particular song is my favourite on the album. It speaks volumes cos at the end of the day, we are all common people irrespective of the power or authority we think we possess. This song is truly a great hit. Long Live Odogwu, much love from Ghana 🇬🇭. Burna would love to see visuals of wild dreams also
It’s how very much I relate with this video. I think I shed a tear when that family scene came up. My dad was a driver and it made me remember how he’d come back from work sometimes feeling down because his car broke down or developed some kind of fault. Rip dad🕊. It’s a beautiful video ❤
This made me shed a tear of joy! The humility, the rich culture and our lifestyle being portrayed in such a pleasing manner is so beautiful ❤thank you Burna , and a big thanks to all the creative minds behind this video ❤
My father is Kenyan and my mother is a white woman . I’ve grown up my whole life with my mom and recently met my father for the first time at 21 . I’m now 23. I’ve been trying to get in touch with my culture recently . I’ve always felt like something was missing and Burna Boy is helping me get there. Can’t wait to make my trip to Africa and meet my other family members and get in tune with my culture 🤍

I was once in deep depression i didn't know what to do with myself but to take my life, one day i had this song playing in the background and it was the day i was planning to take my life , i remember going closer to the place where it was playing, something told me listen to the lyrics, that day and that time i cried, felt so free in my life again, Thank you for saving my life brother, carry on and heal the world with your music Salute
A rugby player from New Zealand was going crazy when this song played out in a bar in Tokyo, he Shang along word for word and I could understand his feeling, great songs have no boundaries, God bless Africa❤❤❤❤❤
Who else has goosebumps while watching this? This video makes me appreciate this song more. Thanks to the director for bringing the beauty of this song to life.
White, Canadian, and I think music like this can cure all the bad in this world. ❤️ Thanks for producing such beautiful music for me to calm my mind to.
If you are here in 2090, I was here in 2023.💜 BURNA BOY was a young artist who came from GRASS to GRACE. He was among the best musicians of his generation & he was a living LEGEND. In 2023, Nigerian music was doing absolutely well, getting even better everyday and it was loved worldwide. We Nigerians we're proud of this success story. Hope the world is a better place in 2090? Stay safe and be a nice human. 🇳🇬💜💜💜

Burna boy's music would live forever. Burna boy's music revolves around uplifting Africa and giving Africa a good image. Burna boy isn't just an entertainer but here to leave a legacy for other Africans to follow. 💓 Proud to be African.
This right here is why I love Burna Boy. His lyrics on many counts are a revelation of us all. Some of the realest things about our humanity that we occasionally may overlook, deny or take for granted. We are all that common person in one way or another. Happiness in every circumstance is still ours to choose and hope is for us all. #RespectBurnaBoy
Message to the future generation; DO NOT LET THIS SONG DIE We will be back here to tell the world there was once an African Giant who was a COMMON PERSON ❤️❤️
This brought me to tears, the Africa we all know and love, respect for our elders and love for children. But most importantly may we all be happy common people doing extra ordinary things ❤ love you Burna
Respect to the nation of Nigeria abd the talents it has horned.From a Cameroonian with a Nigerian mom.I continue to be amazed with these talent .Burna Boy Thank you for this song because i can resonate 💯💪💪💪

If you're here in 2099, I just want to let you know that this is the song I used to vibe to back then during my NYSC in 2021. At the time, I didn't know what's in store for me in the coming years, how life will look like after my one year service. But today, to God be the Glory!

I discussed this song with a friend froma philosophical point of view and it was interesting how Burn boy brings out the paradoxial meaning of being loved irrespective of fundamentals of life .The song also juxtaposes the essence of bring accepted by your family, friends because you belong not because you have become.most of us, we are accepted by our families, friends Because we have BECOME not because we BELONG and its a sad a reality that we need to change.
Also from the song we can also be an inspiration to others,lets be an epitome of home to all around us ,and we all have a chance to inspire all people around us .
I wish we can live forever....but if You are here 2050 know that l was here 2024 ... And l ove this song ❤
This speaks Community, Pride, Love, Heritage, Home, Talent, Belonging. Big Love Burna Boy for blessing us with more beautiful vibes
Only if this was like this in every black ghetto in America unity
A great example of what a good man should be; humble, kind, and of service to their community. He helps the aunties, the uncles, and the children, not with money, but by seeing their needs and acting on it. A true inspiration ❤️💛💙

Me and 7 other inmates worked at the Kampala Rd Food Bank after completing the Computing course. I fought tears hearing this song on the bus ride at 5am on the way to work and this song still makes me tear up today.

Pure music not promoting drugs,alcohol,sex,shooting or stabbing
Music about real life with family and community. Different and special.
My humbling respect to all my skin folk who can relate we need unity especially in these time's 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
I cried whenever I listen to this song in 2023 and hoping that one day God will remember me and change my story.
Today I’m a blessing to others 🙌🙌

Somebody once said, " When you are happy, you enjoy the melody, when you are sad, you understand the lyrics."
This is so deep! 💯
Deep
the first instance of hearing the song It made me happy. the third time I heard it made me sad. realising that the common Nigerian man is suffering and smiling at the same time. excellent music!
Powerful
Literally experiencing both.
I'm a Zambian but I enjoy Nigerian songs so much..much love
Adwo
I’m not an African but I love this song ❤ When I listen to it I feel that Africa was born in me. You are great people. Respect
Love you too
Yez so beautiful and caring ❤
We love you ❤
It's in you, just let it out.
This comment brought tears in my eyes
Respect ma brother
This particular song is my favourite on the album. It speaks volumes cos at the end of the day, we are all common people irrespective of the power or authority we think we possess. This song is truly a great hit. Long Live Odogwu, much love from Ghana 🇬🇭.
Burna would love to see visuals of wild dreams also
I be common person from 254🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 Sending love Across the world to everyone who hears this.. the African Giant did it again !!! #LoveDamini 💙💙💙
From south africa ❤❤❤❤
It’s how very much I relate with this video. I think I shed a tear when that family scene came up. My dad was a driver and it made me remember how he’d come back from work sometimes feeling down because his car broke down or developed some kind of fault. Rip dad🕊. It’s a beautiful video ❤
This made me shed a tear of joy! The humility, the rich culture and our lifestyle being portrayed in such a pleasing manner is so beautiful ❤thank you Burna , and a big thanks to all the creative minds behind this video ❤
Same I actually shed a tear … during the man’s narrative to his family on how Burna helped him.
Me too
I’m still crying 😢
My father is Kenyan and my mother is a white woman . I’ve grown up my whole life with my mom and recently met my father for the first time at 21 . I’m now 23. I’ve been trying to get in touch with my culture recently . I’ve always felt like something was missing and Burna Boy is helping me get there. Can’t wait to make my trip to Africa and meet my other family members and get in tune with my culture 🤍
karibu Kenya
Karibu, you will feel loved I can guarantee, I'm Rwandan but Kenya's are our cousin's, I can speak for them.
We look forward to welcoming you in Africa
wow we all love u ok
You’re welcome to africa
I discussed this song with a friend froma Philosophical point of view and it was interesting how Burna boy brings out the paradoxial meaning of being loved irrespective of fundamentals of life. The song also juxtaposes the essence of being accepted by your family, friends because you belong not because you have become. Most of us, we are accepted by our families, friends because we have BECOME not because we BELONG and its a sad a reality that we need to change. Also, from the song, we can also be an inspiration to others, lets be an epitome of home to all around us, and we all have a chance to inspire all people around us.
Absolutely.
Common person was the last song my mom played on her Bluetooth speaker before she died 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Continue to rest in peace ✌️ mommy 😭😭😭
sorry about that
Aww, may her soul rest in paradise ❤️❤️
RIP for your mom bro
Rest in peace Mama
Rest in peace 🕊️❤

I was once in deep depression i didn't know what to do with myself but to take my life, one day i had this song playing in the background and it was the day i was planning to take my life , i remember going closer to the place where it was playing, something told me listen to the lyrics, that day and that time i cried, felt so free in my life again, Thank you for saving my life brother, carry on and heal the world with your music Salute

Thank you Naija🇳🇬 for blessing the African continent with such talents and artists like Burna.
A rugby player from New Zealand was going crazy when this song played out in a bar in Tokyo, he Shang along word for word and I could understand his feeling, great songs have no boundaries, God bless Africa❤❤❤❤❤
Who else has goosebumps while watching this? This video makes me appreciate this song more. Thanks to the director for bringing the beauty of this song to life.

If you are here in 2090, I was here in 2023.💜
BURNA BOY was a young artist who came from GRASS to GRACE. He was among the best musicians of his generation & he was a living LEGEND.
In 2023, Nigerian music was doing absolutely well, getting even better everyday and it was loved worldwide. We Nigerians we're proud of this success story.
Hope the world is a better place in 2090? Stay safe and be a nice human. 🇳🇬💜💜💜
That's a beautiful message ❤

I’m from Haiti living in the US, but I’m African. I want to spend my last days in Africa! By the way I’m visiting in December
You visiting where in Africa
Enjoy family and welcome back! Which country are you visiting?
You are welcome
Burna boy's music would live forever. Burna boy's music revolves around uplifting Africa and giving Africa a good image. Burna boy isn't just an entertainer but here to leave a legacy for other Africans to follow. 💓 Proud to be African.
Exactly
This right here is why I love Burna Boy. His lyrics on many counts are a revelation of us all. Some of the realest things about our humanity that we occasionally may overlook, deny or take for granted. We are all that common person in one way or another. Happiness in every circumstance is still ours to choose and hope is for us all. #RespectBurnaBoy
Message to the future generation; DO NOT LET THIS SONG DIE
We will be back here to tell the world there was once an African Giant who was a COMMON PERSON ❤️❤️
True and for Flavour.
Respect my brada
This Song has taken my heart I feel like i shift Niger now. Moment I came across this song it brought joy and forgott all my worries.
I'm from Russia but I can understand the song by looking at video and I also miss my village life in Uganda
This jam will go down in history as one of the best songs. The Video is authentic too. Zambia approves 🙌🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
I became overwhelmed and emotional watching this. The enjoyment of African culture is so special. 💖🥹🥹🥹 As an African American I feel so slighted.
No...why do you feel slighted? We are one people remember that. You can always come down to Africa sometime and enjoy for yourself
please befriend a Nigerian or Ghanaian for a visit. You will be treated like royalty
You are not alone baby girl! It was so beautiful to watch and sing a alone.
I understood more than you can imagine 💪🏾✊🏾
As an AA I don't. I feel blessed we are all coming together.
This brought me to tears, the Africa we all know and love, respect for our elders and love for children. But most importantly may we all be happy common people doing extra ordinary things ❤ love you Burna
❤❤ Well said.

Everybody get role, no mean say your own role passin' my own
I be common person, but my happiness, oh, still be my own
Everybody get role, no mean say your own role passin' my own
Because na God, I dey put all my faith
Food for my plate, fit no do me jo
Mm, balanso
Even as things no dey go my way
Even in days where no get nothing at all
Mm, balanso
Na me wey dey drive your bus
Na me wey drive your keke
Mm, balanso
Na me wey dey run around
Na me do the job
Mm, balanso
I be common person, but my happiness, oh, still be my own
Everybody get role, no mean say your own role passin' my own
Thank you. the lyrics are really deep. He is also an ordinary person.

Big respect to Burna Boy for this ever amazing hits! More wins, love from 🇰🇪🇰🇪
If you're here in 2099, I just want to let you know that this is the song I used to vibe to back then during my NYSC in 2021. At the time, I didn't know what's in store for me in the coming years, how life will look like after my one year service. But today, to God be the Glory!
