9ice's song "Liquor" is about the effect of alcohol on people. The song begins by repeating the lyrics "This liquor mega go una eye high" which suggests that the liquor will intoxicate the listeners until their eyes are fully open. The chorus also repeats the line "Dum di he dey here he dey here" which is a reference to the excesses that come with drinking. The song goes on to describe how the artist and his friends are not concerned about the consequences of drinking too much but are only interested in having fun.
In the first verse, the artist says "Call me commando for your car park" which indicates that he is ready to take charge of the party and ensure it is a success. He also mentions "Some taliban dey here with their caftans" which is a nod to the northerners in Nigeria who are often associated with wearing caftans. The artist implies that regardless of their differences, they are all united in their love for alcohol.
In the second verse, 9ice talks about his "personal mix" which is a mix of orogbo and ata (bitter kola and chili pepper), two locally used spices in Nigeria. He invites listeners to join him and "feel his potential" which can be interpreted both sexually and spiritually. Overall, the song is a celebration of the good times that come with drinking, and an invitation to join in the fun.
