Lyrics:
[Intro]
The music make me feel I be Jordan
Now I understand why them say aiye gbon gan
Nkan ti mori
Olun mi o so tan
(Woro si woro)
[Chorus]
The music make me feel I be Jordan
(Woro si woro)
(Koro ki koro)
Now I understand why them say aiye gbon gan
(O boy e plenty for my mind you go jisoro)
Nkan ti mori
Oloun mi o so tan
Many, many listening
Holy water pon my head and my feet
(Jen ri owo loke)
[Verse 1]
Gongo aso
Aye a gbo
Don’t gock on
Then come dey doubt am
So what’s the jargon
It’s a mad one
Roll a loud one
Record my album
Don’t address anyone
But rather I have
And I’ve been working
No go do like say I don’t deserve am
You fear me sef
Me no fear no one
[Pre-Chorus]
Because the rhythm e plenty gani
Please give me plenty money
Hypocrite plenty gan
Wey dey pretendi gan ni
Let’s just find them for me
Them ah identical to the devil gan ni
I dey see them
Won po bi
But emi kilokanmi
I go be all I can be
Oluwaburna ma pami
[Chorus]
(Woro si woro)
The music make me feel like B Jordan
(Woro si woro)
(Koro ki koro)
Now I understand why them say aiye gbon gan
(O boy e plenty for my mind you go jisoro)
Nkan ti mori
Oloun mi o so tan
Many, many listening
Holy water pon my head and my feet
Anyone try me
Them go Gboro si gboro
The music make me feel like B Jordan
(Woro si woro)
(Koro ki koro)
Now I understand why them say aiye gbon gan
(O boy e plenty for my mind you go jisoro)
Nkan ti mori
Oloun mi o so tan
Many, many listening
Holy water pon my head and my feet
[Verse 2]
Woihh
Them ah talk what they can’t prove
What them can’t prove
Cos them want to taste out my food
Gave you my food
Then you talk say I chance you
Try to pick a picker man up
God pass you
Feels like I’m coming from my angle
Where your vibe at
Come fuvk up the cycle
Come in circle
Ain’t no telling what I might do
While you make me
Make me beg that paper man slide through
[Pre-Chorus]
Because the rhythm e plenty gani
Please give me plenty money
Hypocrite plenty gan
Wey dey pretend gan ni
Let’s just find them for me
Them ah identical to the devil gan ni
I dey see them
Won po bi
But emi kilokanmi
I go be all I can be
Oluwaburna ma pami
[Chorus]
(Woro,woro)
The music make me feel like B Jordan
(Woro si woro)
(Koro ki koro)
Now I understand why them say aiye gbon gan
(O boy e plenty for my mind you go jisoro)
Nkan ti mori
Oloun mi o so tan
Many, many listening
Holy water pon my head and my feet
Anyone try me
Them go Gboro si gboro
The music make me feel like B Jordan
(Woro si woro)
(Koro ki koro)
Now I understand why them say aiye gbon gan
(O boy e plenty for my mind you go jisoro)
Nkan ti mori
Oloun mi o so tan
Many, many listening
Holy water pon my head and my feet
(Jen ri owo loke)
[Outro]
Gongo aso

So what’s the jargon

And I’ve been working
No go do like say I don’t deserve am
You fear me sef
Me no fear no one
