  Oya come let’s go far away
  We can chill ourselves in a holiday
  This love is here to stay

  Kush Song

  Kaptain Kush

  Lyrics

  Yeah Kaptain Kush

  I thought you promised you'll keep my heart
  baby
  You'll be there for me when the world would knock me down
  Ahah ahaha
  Why sudden changed in your plans
  baby please would tell me?
  Tell me where I equally got it got it wrong
  Cause
  cause
  cause baby
  I really want to get you back baby
  You alone could make me go crazy
  Honey would please tell me you're ready
  I don't wanna cry no more like baby

  I came from a street where it's hard to love
  Cause the street is full of players without a Club
  Love's full of fouls like Karashika's involved
  I can't even tell you how she got my heart dissolved
  Recollect how we met, how you got me interviewed
  You smiled, you laughed while I was looking at you
  My inner sanctum was praying that I have You
  I try to avoid that never to love you
  Your love came to me bae like medicine
  It cured my heart and also do so many things
  Recollect how you got me smiling for no reason
  Cause your love was sweet like when the heaven sings
  I don't why you chose that I should be home alone
  Why you chose that Kush should be friend zoned
  You know all my life baby it's you I've known
  And I can't do it myself, need you to be my own
  Make me proud again that you know me
  Bring it back again the love you showed me
  Eh eh ehehehe

  I thought you promised you'll keep my heart
  baby
  You'll be there for me when the world would knock me down
  Ahah ahaha
  Why sudden changed in your plans
  baby please would tell me?
  Tell me where I equally got it got it wrong
  Cause
  cause
  cause baby
  I really want to get you back baby
  You alone could make me go crazy
  Honey would please tell me you're ready
  I don't wanna cry no more like baby

  I love you but you chose to love another
  I want you, I ain't tryna put asunder
  Too much sleepless nights cause my heart is bothered
  It's really been sad babe to know you have a lover
  Looking at us, I see we have a future
  And if you're wounded bae I'm ready to be your suture
  You ruled my school of thoughts, you more than being a teacher
  Promised to stay by my side like we about to take a picture
  It's been my dream, with you I'm supreme
  I'm gonna conquer the whole world if you be my queen
  Glitter my world again, make it full of beam
  Let love control, watch it flow like stream
  I've seen a lot of girls but you are just different
  You are the perfect example of what they call decent
  When you was driving me crazy, I thought you heaven sent
  Mama warned me now we stock in accident
  My heart is beating with raging sound
  Saying baby listen, you could blame me now
  Never let go, don't let me down
  It always feels good to have you around
  Eh eh hehehe

  I thought you promised you'll keep my heart
  baby
  You'll be there for me when the world would knock me down
  Ahah ahaha
  Why sudden changed in your plans
  baby please would tell me? (Tell Me)
  Tell me where I equally got it got it wrong
  Cause
  cause
  cause baby
  I really want to get you back baby
  You alone could make me go crazy
  Honey would please tell me you're ready
  I don't wanna cry no more like baby
