Davido’s song “On The Road” is much more than a fast-paced track to open his Oriadé album. It serves as a real window into his personal life, career struggles, and the heavy sacrifices that come with being a global music superstar.
B4 B4 Lyrics by Davido, Mayorkun & FOLA
When Davido sings, “Life I dey live e be on the road, on the go, man always be setting goals,” he is talking about the physical and mental toll of moving from country to country. It highlights how an artist’s life is often spent inside airplanes, hotels, and backstage rooms instead of at home.
In the first verse, he addresses his critics, noting that people see the luxury and success but do not see the intense practice and sweat behind it. He reminds listeners with the line, “They no fit destroy wetin Oluwa don construct,” showing his strong faith that his hard-earned success is protected by God.
One of the most important moments in the song comes when he sings about making time for his loved ones, saying, “I still make time for family and friends ’cause all work and no play makes Davido another man with no face.” This line proves that despite his crazy schedule, keeping his personal connections strong remains a major priority.
By mentioning that he is “a man with no fears,” Davido reflects on his 15-year journey in the music industry. He has faced countless challenges over the years, but instead of slowing down, he uses those experiences to fuel his next big goals.
On The Road Lyrics by Davido

(Yeah)

[Chorus]
On the road, oh

They no fit destroy wetin Oluwa don construct
But every time I lead, them still dey follow
