On Zlatan’s third studio album, Symbol of Hope, the third track, “Oyoyo,” captures the essence of resilience and redemption.

Zlatan – Oyoyo Lyrics
Wetin you do
I say I trust the process even when I no dey see result
I stand for queue
But e belike the green light for my traffic e no dey work
Who I see ?
I see nobody nobody nobody but my self
Ojutiri
As dem no motivate me I kuku motivate myself
I reached out to alot but them jonze meee
Dem do me wayo
Naso I bend down carry my load
No collateral to ask for loan
I reached out to alot but them jonze meee
Dem do me wayo
Naso I bend down carry my load
No collateral to ask for loan
See me now!
Person wey dem no send before dem see me shout oyoyo
Even person wey follow shit for church dey see me shout oyoyo
Lambo truck inside traffic o!
Dem see me shout oyoyo
Oyoyo oyoyo oyoyo
I live my life I no dey send them jhoor
Oye oye oyekemo
The matter no be today start from exodus
I go show them my true color
From Ikorodu to America
The Hustle make me go deeper
I bin dey reason dem say no think am
I ready receive but there’s no giver
And if to say na man dey run am e for don cast
For the money I for do jazz
I for do this I for do that
I see shortcut but shey I go last
Chineke moh Bikoyemegoo
All of my life make e dey meaningful
Make my blessings come in many folds
Many goals wey keeper no fit hold
I reached out to alot but them jonze
Dem do me wayo
Naso I bend down carry my load
No collateral to ask for loan
I reached out to alot but them jonze meee
Dem do me wayo
Naso I bend down carry my load
No collateral to ask for loan
See me now! Person wey dem no send before dem see me shout oyoyo
Even person wey follow shit for church dey see me shout oyoyo
Lambo truck inside traffic o! Dem see me shout oyoyo
Oyoyo oyoyo oyoyo
