The same guy who was slapped, sold out something for money, his phone was checked by his colleagues, he got a slap for trying to outsmart them and was thrown into a pit. The song speaks about people who thinks they are Wise but they are not.
I would love gbon ju---- you think you are the wisest. Ogbon agonju ogbon ogbon a ma pologvon lara------ if you think you are too wise, the wisdom will hurt you
By the way, the word choice of "organize" for the song is rooted in pidgin we speak... Most words are used in a context in which they aren't normally used although they tend to pass the same meaning across..
I must say welldone to you two for a wonderful channel you have, it brings humour, laughter and joy to the world as you appreciate this global connection we all have in music. I am a big fan of Bollywood and glad you are too of Afrobeats, as a Yoruba indegine, for you to understand his lyrics you need to understand the meaning by using Google translate the words. In this case he was talking about "Wisdom, discipline and transparency in life" as an individual relating it to his craft as a musician that loves his freedom to do what he want's to do.
Most people miss out on the moral of the song and video which is that no amount of money should be traded for the tradition, norms, values or things that define a people at large... He vividly painted a picture in the video that emphasizes the thought; Do not condone sellouts!
I know this is dated a year ago, and if this comment pops, Google Translate cannot translate Yoruba to English because one word in Yoruba can mean 5-7 different things. A lot of people who come from Lagos are not necessarily from Lagos so they employ different slang, mix of language that could make different meaning relative to the word use and situation. "Gba" could mean "take," "sweep," "kick," "rescue," etc. If you use it in slang where your parents are from a different place living in Lagos relative to whom you speak and which situation, threatening or not for cheating or to escape, the word "gba" could go as far as "to take a girl." Google translate cannot translate the words. Just enjoy the music as we are enjoying your comment. It's hard to make sense of wording that is supposed to be Yoruba but is English alphabet to begin with transcribed as Yoruba ABC. Confusing? Thank you for your cultural immersion. You have showed a different side. We need more of you in your Heavenly humanity.
Good job beautiful ladies, always enjoy your reaction videos. To be honest, Nigeria has some insanely talented music video directors such as Clarence Peters, Unlimited LA, Daps, Aje films, etc that stand their ground anywhere in the world but TG Omori has taken music video directing to a whole different level. The guy is just too good. I believe he will soon get the global recognition he deserves.
Asake is a crazy artist . U guys should react to Johnny drills song ( how are u my friend) a song which u can understand and also there are many better artist than Asake.(joeboy,Burna boy ,oxlade ,ayra star, Magixx, tems,Mavin e.t.c) . Asake und Black bonze are just too wild for u too understand . Listen to simple stuff . Also this listed artists are very popular. Merry christmas tho.
I love your reactions, wooooow see the way u re pronouncing Yoruba language, you really tried. Nice one to both of you.
