It Won’t Last
Afrobeats track with contemporary R&B influences. The arrangement features a syncopated percussion pattern with a dry kick, crisp snare, and rhythmic shakers. A clean, palm-muted electric guitar plays a repetitive melodic riff. A deep, sub-heavy synth bass provides the low-end movement. Male vocals alternate between a smooth tenor range and a light falsetto, often layered with harmonies. Atmospheric synth pads and occasional vocal chops provide background texture. The tempo is 105 BPM in the key of G Major.

Lyrics
Be careful what you want
It won’t last for long
Be careful what you want
It won't last for long
You wanted fyuh on your tongue
Now your mouth too hot to hold
You chased the sun with bare hands
Now the sun got your soul
Pretty talk, soft lie
Na who no dey learn?
You dey push am for we go
Now the table don turn
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
My brother, take am easy
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
Your heart no be trophy
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
When the mouth too greedy
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
The joy go quick-quick leave you
Be careful what you want
It won’t last for long
Careful what you want
It won’t last, o
Be careful what you want
It won’t last for long
Careful what you want
It won’t last, o
See the boy with the big chin
Now he talk in crumbs
See the girl with the soft skin
Now she biting on gums
Everybody want more
Till more start to bite
Everybody want fast
Till fast steals the light
You dey pray for the crown
But the crown too heavy
You dey call for the wave
Now the flow comes steady
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
My brother, take am easy
(ah-ah, ah-ah)
Your heart no be trophy
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
When the mouth too greedy
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
The joy go quick-quick leave you
Be careful what you want
It won’t last for long
Careful what you want
It won’t last, o
Be careful what you want
It won’t last for long
Careful what you want
It won’t last, o
It won't last for long
