Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He said what's good baby girl, what's your name,
Better still just tell me your pin
So we can chat bout the things we gonna do when we see
Better yet what we can right here
But chill shorty, who u came with?
Are you tryna run game here?
Just feeling your ginger
From your skin to your long hair
It's clear your not from around her
I've got champagne in my ride
So I'm thinking we should chill outside
Usually don't do this
'Scuse me if I sound kinda foolish
O ni omo lon she mi
She mi lon bawi
Ton ba ri mi won beri
O ni omo lon she mi
Abi o fe show
Bobo bo sagbo ko maa roll
Ko maa roll Ko maa Baby yi ton judi
Ani ko bo sagbo ko maa roll
Loke Loke!
Calm down baby boy,
Why you dey form Chris Brown baby boy,
Feeling your P, you're the real McCoy
So I wanna make you my toy
Feeling your custom kicks
Picture this: Me, you chasing flicks
Tribeca on a sunday, V.I.P
Haters see us, they D.I.E
So tell me, what do you say
We can do it like Jay n Beyonce
Usually don't do this
So you better don't put me on a long ish
Ko maa roll
Bobo ko maa roll
Baby ko maa roll
So you better don't put me on a long ish ko maa roll
O ni omo lon she mi

The lyrics to Mo'Cheddah's song Ko Maa Roll are about a man trying to pick up a woman and convince her to spend some time with him. The song begins with the man asking the woman what her name is and if she would like to chat about things they can do together. He then invites her to chill with him outside and tells her that he has champagne in his ride. The chorus encourages the man not to roll away and instead stay and spend time with the woman. The woman then responds to his advances, telling him to calm down and that she likes his style. She suggests that they go to Tribeca on a Sunday and take pictures together. The chorus then repeats, with the woman encouraging the man to stay.
The lyrics seem to be speaking to young love and the excitement and uncertainty of trying to get to know someone new. The man is persistent and confident, while the woman is also intrigued but cautious. The use of local slang and references to Nigerian culture gives the song a unique flavor that speaks to the local audience.
