Worldwide
Kintu, kinpo, Kilimanjaro, yaro
He doesn't smoke the smallest part of a joint (weed).
Oh na
Kintu, kinpo, Kilimanjaro, yaro
He doesn't smoke the smallest part of a joint (weed).
The "Dongoyaro tree" is a neem tree. The extract is used in traditional Nigerian herbal remedies for cardiovascular, metabolic, and tropical disorders etc.
Asake asks everyone to clear the road for him. He wonders why someone used their mouth to open a bottle.
He also calls the person’s head hug
He doesn't want anyone to look down on him
He name-drops some expensive cars like the Gallardo (sports car manufactured by Lamborghini) and Maybach (German luxury car brand owned by and a part of Mercedes-Benz AG)
He begs a woman not to be angry with him and name-drops another car - Mercedes-Benz S-Class, formerly known as Sonderklasse which is a series of full-sized luxury sedans and coupés
He is intoxicated and has money on his mind
He has an expensive smile that shines in the dark
He praises God with names popularly used by the Celestial Church of Christ, a Pentecostal church in the Aladura movement founded by Samuel Oshoffa in 1947
He is at god level (could be referring to his career)
Many people want to see him fall but he stays high
He has a lot of energy that cannot be taken from him
Asake came to sing songs so if you hear them, then stand up and dance
Some people cannot relate to him because of all the glory he has
He appreciates the support his fans show him and prays that their own works will not be destroyed by God's grace
Asake reiterates that he is well-recognized as his career has taken off worldwide. Mr. Money is his moniker.
Enemies, plenty enemies
They wanna show me love, I call them frenemies
He is Mr. Money and can never be replaced or confused for another
Translates to "it's our life and not someone else's"
Asake works hard for this and doesn't joke around
Everyone has their pay day.
He moves with his guys in a Bentley (luxury car). He doesn't rush but he is still at the forefront
Money is necessary
Asake tells someone that on the streets they greet them and any woman he wants will love him
Some people cannot relate to him because of all the glory he has
He appreciates the support his fans show him and prays that their own works will not be destroyed by God's grace
Asake reiterates that he is well-recognized as his career has taken off worldwide. Mr. Money is his moniker.
