Be There Still Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The repetitive chant-like intro, “Gey gey,” coupled with shoutouts to the producers, immediately sets a rhythmic and energetic mood. This section works as a warm-up, creating a hypnotic groove while establishing the playful yet driven tone of the track. The name drops (“Marvi again!” and “Baddest”) reinforce Davido’s signature confidence and charisma.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Davido reflects on his long-standing success in the music industry, noting that after twelve years, he remains at the top. He acknowledges moments of emotional vulnerability, suggesting that even amidst triumphs, there are quiet struggles. The line “my cup runneth over” signifies abundant blessings, while “I get days I sober” reveals moments of reflection. The mention of growing older with his partner adds a personal and sentimental touch to the narrative.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus delivers a message of positivity and forward momentum. Davido aligns his journey with divine will (“Holy sign”), affirming that his focus is on progression, not dwelling on the past. He recognizes that not everyone supports him, but he maintains peace and chooses not to be weighed down by it. This moment underscores a sense of emotional maturity and trust in his chosen path.
[Chorus]
The chorus is a bold declaration of presence and persistence. Wherever opportunity arises—especially financial—Davido insists he will show up. “I will be there still” becomes a mantra for consistency and reliability. Whether crossing geographical or metaphorical borders, Davido affirms that his presence and ambition are unshakable, anchored in destiny. It’s both an anthem of hustle and a pledge to never fade away, no matter who comes and goes.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus repeats the catchy “Gey gey” refrain, reinforcing the song’s playful rhythm and making the track even more infectious. It functions like a musical hook that amplifies the vibe and maintains momentum between verses, adding to the overall danceability of the song.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Davido portrays himself as pure-hearted and unbothered by malice—likening his spirit to water, which flows freely and carries no grudges. He emphasizes the inevitability of destiny, stating that pain and challenges have only shaped him into someone stronger. The reference to overseas living and waking up in Paris reflects his global lifestyle, subtly tying personal growth to international success.
[Pre-Chorus]
The second pre-chorus reiterates earlier themes of focus, family, and selective loyalty. Davido again chooses peace over conflict and demonstrates his ability to rise above negativity, supported by those who matter most. The repetition enhances the song’s structure while reinforcing its key messages.
[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus brings the listener back to the core affirmation—Davido’s unwavering presence and pursuit of success. The lines take on even greater resonance after the verses, now viewed as proof of a journey marked by faith, persistence, and staying power.
[Post-Chorus]
Closing once again with the “Gey gey” chant, the song ends on a high note, fading out with the same hypnotic, celebratory energy it began with. It leaves listeners with a lingering sense of rhythm and determination.
