First Track :

A declaration of selfhood and defiance. It’s about carving your own lane despite doubt, gossip, or pressure to conform. With lines like “I’m too blessed to be stressed, I just want my peace of mind,” it frames identity as both joy and resilience.

Written by Tolü Makay, Produced by Cian Sweeney, Co-produced by Ben Mark Weaver. Mixed and mastered by Cian Sweeney

Lyrics

My name is Tolü Makay
I came to Ireland when I was 5 years old
Didn't know much but
Here I am today
Making my own name and
setting my own lane.
It took some time to make greatness
I don’t have for the fakeness
I took my time to make changes
And make changes again and again because
I needed to realise that i'm the best thing that ever rose from the bogs but I didn't recognise the haters that were on my team
It’s 2020 vision when I see them now
I never had to bow no matter how people would make me want to doubt myself cause I’ I’m way way way too con con tray ray ray because I know


I’m too blessed to be stressed
I just want my peace of mind
Have some fun and drink palm wine
I’m too blessed to be stressed
I don't want to live a lie
Let my money roll like time


I am I am I am I am I am
Tolü Makay
Tolü Makay
I am I am I am I am I am
Yeah that's what you heard
Tolü Makay

Ah yeah its been bloody exhausting
Proving to any one who’ll listen how much talent flows in this skin,
begrudged neighbours reminding you to,
tone it down ,
pick a side,
you’re too dramatic now you’re too quiet,
did you get a new hair do,
your tone is off.
what's she wearing, she’s trying too much
I needed to realise that I’m
the best thing that ever rose from the bogs that’s why
I’m way way way
Too con tray tray ray ray because I know

I’m too blessed to be stressed
I just want my peace of mind
Have some fun and drink palm wine
I’m too blessed to be stressed
I don't want to live a lie
Let my money roll like time


I am I am I am I am I am
Who's calling me
It’s Tolü Makay
Did you hear that
Tolü Makay

I am I am I am I am I am
Yes
That’s right
That's what you heard

I am I am I am I am I am
