Asake’s track “Oba” is a confident Afrobeats anthem centered on success, status, and self-belief.
The lyrics reflect his rise to wealth and recognition, embracing a flashy “big boy” lifestyle while celebrating hard work and consistency.
Blending luxury, global influence, and gratitude to God, the song portrays him as a dominant figure, a “king,” while still emphasizing the need to stay grounded and alert.
Asake – Oba Lyrics
Intro
O jẹ́ bomb, o jẹ́ bomb, o jẹ́ bomb, motherfucker
Size 42 ni bàtà gb’ọlá, ayé yìí ò lọ
Everybody sáré àsálà
Ká ṣá má dúpẹ́, my jigga
Àṣàkẹ́ ṣá dollar
Can’t you see my attire?
Bling from head to toe, ah, ah (Ọlọhun)
Chorus
Too many girls call me, “My king”
Can’t stop working, I be machine
Bad since 1995, put them nigga on with my style
Every year, it is my time
Big nyash, it is my type
God dey by my side
For the street, better shine eye
Rocking gold, living star life
P-p-pẹ̀lú bag Chanel

Gimme slow motion, gimme codeine
Ayy, oye, young money, bad boy rolling
