On this week’s edition of Throwback Thursday, talkGlitz recalls one of Olamide‘s popular songs from his 2013 album, Baddest Guy Ever Liveth and it’s titled “Anifowose”.

This song was inspired by King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1) as Olamide deploys the medium to tell the story of his humble beginning and how he journeyed through hardship with his family.

Lyrics;

Omo anifowose
Omo anifo
Iru ki le yi
Omo anifowose
Omo anifo
Iru ki le yi
Omo anifowose
Won mu ewure dudu
Won mu re igbo ifa
Omo anifowose
Won m’aguntan bolojo
Won mu re ile osun
Omo anifowose
Osun o gba aguntan
Ema se gba emi mi
Omo anifowose
Eni ti o le se bi alaaru l’oyingbo
ko le se bi adegboro l’oja oba
Ayinde ooh eh
Ayinde ooo

Won ni kilode,
Ki lo ba de, ki lo n wa n bi, ki lo fe
They never thought I’ll make it to the top
but that’s not fair
To ri mommy wa o l’owo
To ri daddy wa o l’owo
Hustled from the house and every damn
thing na sorrow
Mo ya je solo o
A de solo o

Dem be High class dem say we are so low o
Mommy ta’so ati bata e fun paro
Daddy ta’so ati bata e fun paro
To put food on the table
Ko ma d’abi pe won wa capable
Salary daddy o wa stable
Everyday ko la ma je vegetable
Buh mummy know God is able, ice water la ma ti fi mu
garri lebu
Awon omo Landlord chance wa
Cos won pass wa, won embarass wa,
Won ni e kuro ni house wa
Won frustrate mommy ati house wa
Awon omo alhaja
To ba so mi m’ole le yin, ma ja
Mi wa ja but t’owo mi ba d’eyan, wa ja

Mo n da gbe
Mo n da fa
Mi o mo ile onisegun, mi o mo ile alfa
Bo ya mommy ati daddy lo sise lori mi
Glory be to alpha
Before life hard
Poverty fi mi se cypher
Sorrows and pain ma fi mi cat walk
Won Ma tun se high 5
So we roll up just to get high but
Poverty no stop so my guys open eyes

Oga Ade
Ewo ibi ta ba de
Omo eru d’oba
Igboro demilade
Ema kun pancake
Me I am getting my cake
Niggas dem be like ee
When they see my picture on the like ee
Them no rich God,
them know this
Won fe si office le mi lori
Se mo jo novice
God I love this
I keep rolling like a borris
Versace, versace
You rocking versace…
Your Mommy is suffering, oloshi
Emi ti flourish, awon parents mi jeun to nourish
