BNXN & Asake – Eja Meja Lyrics
Chorus: Asake
Ọmọge mẹta, Backy mẹta
Fun ọdun mẹwa, jeja meja
E ma ṣaye lo (E ma ṣaye lo)
Kon maje lo (Kon maje lo)
Efrebo, bebe nlọ, ah, ah
Verse 1: Asake
Èèyàn kan kan ló dáyé fún
Ó wà ní kewu, wà ní Bible
Jayé orí ẹ jayé jù (Jayé jù)
To ba ṣe tasho ma ṣe thank you
They say money na vanity so I carry the vanity, spend am on vanity
No dey form familiarity, tori aye lo mi o for mi o panicking
This thing e dey sweet me (Olohun seh)
Anytime I, I dey feel high-ray (Ah, ah)
Chorus: Asake & BNXN
Ọmọge mẹta (Mẹta), Backy mẹta (Mẹta)
Fun ọdun mẹwa, jeja meja
E ma ṣaye lo (E ma ṣaye lo)
Kon maje lo (Kon maje lo)
Efrebo (Sofri, oh), bebe nlọ, ah, ah
Verse 2: BNXN
Kín ṣe ẹ̀yàn kan ló dá ayé fún
Tí mo ti jí lówùúrọ̀, mo máa kí Baba, thank you
If it wasn’t for my performance, told me, what would I do?
I no know Bible, t’ọmọ lo mọfe ẹjọ́ mi sun won (Orí mi, orí mi, orí mi, o)
This vеry feelings, I recommend (Orí lo yomi mo sọ fún ẹ, o)
Jaiye ori е one hundred per cent
I notice, anytime I roll weed, some look to me like novice
Them no know I notice somethings
Bridge: BNXN & Asake
Alhamdulillah, I am a special case
Mo sa pawo mi o by HIs special grace
Prayers work for me, but I was making statements
Can’t tell you why I was so impatient
Mo ṣiṣe gan (Loyal), kon ma jo lo (Fire)
I be like Oliver Twist, ’cause I’m still wanting more for my life
Outro: Asake
Ọmọge mẹta, Backy mẹta
Fun ọdun mẹwa, jeja meja
E ma ṣaye lo (E ma ṣaye lo)
Kon maje lo (Kon maje lo)
Efrebo, bebe nlọ, ah, ah
