Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Money don't buy charisma
Me I just get my vibe
(I get my vibe)
Oh for life
Gucci no go sell swagger
That thing don't come overnight

Emi don dada (AG Baby)
Baba ni fada sho mo

Whiskey on the side

Shaking, staggering - drinking locally brewed gin isn't the same as drinking vodka. Staggering, struggling – wearing a coat doesn't mean you're wearing an Agbada. Life is full of challenges.
It's time to talk the talk I've been playing this shit safe for long
I need to step up and take risks instead of playing it safe all the time

I am not afraid of anyone. I am as strong as a cow. I can race with a car. I am as brave as a tiger. If you play with me, you will lose. Watch what you ask for. If you want to race with me, use a motorcycle. You claim to be number 1, but I am the one in charge

If Adekunle and his team play their cards right, he could be the face of Afrobeats worldwide.
This is rich, pure and undiluted african music.
