The lyrics to Adekunle GOLD's song "Temptation" depict a story of a troubled relationship and the struggles of temptation. The singer is caught in a complicated situation where he is attracted to someone who is in a committed relationship, symbolized by the line "E gba mi o eyi ma a le" which means "take it easy on me." He acknowledges that getting involved with this person could lead to trouble and grieve for his friend, depicted as a soldier going to war. Despite his initial resistance and awareness of the impropriety of the situation, the singer can't help but be drawn towards this person.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of conflict within oneself. The phrase "Mo ni rara mo ni rara, Mo ni mi o se o, Ma koba mi o no implicate me jo o" translates to "I say it's not right, I say it's not right, I say I won't do it, Don't involve me in it." Here, the singer is trying to convince himself to resist the temptation, to not let himself get implicated in the complicated love triangle. However, he acknowledges his struggle with these conflicting emotions.
Overall, "Temptation" delves into the complexities of a forbidden attraction and the internal struggles faced when faced with such desires.

@michealadekunle1088
i have a candid advice for adekunle gold for he is a legend already and i know he still have is musical flares of his sleeves collaboration is good but i want him to still do his thing as usual his album temptation is good,oriente is explosive and many more i know he still have more.........from a devotional fan ......michael Adekunle.
@rhodalynaborhey8673
I agree with this
@mojisoladeji
This song should have way more views and likes than this. What a story, what a song, awesome tune. My favourite part - "ṣe wọn rán ẹ si mi ni? Fi mí lẹ̀ o!!!!!".
Good job, Mr Adekunle Gold
