Ayodele reemerged in 1999 with his solo debut album "Föder Nåt Nytt", under the name Ayo. The album was a success with hit singles such as "Betongdjungelboken" and "Många som väntar". His sophomore album was titled "Del 2: Uppföljaren" and was meant to be released in 2001, but due to further label issues it was never released. It includes singles "Det spökar" and "Ayooo". Ayo eventually decided to quit the music scene and converted to Islam. Today he lives in Dubai and works as an instructor for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He released one last song in 2011, on Swedish hip hop producer Stress's album "Playlist". On the song "Mitt beslut" ("My decision"), Ayo explains his decision to quit music.

Down on my knees
Ayo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Please, please don't leave me
Do you really think she can love you more than me
Do you really, really think so
Do you really think she can give you more than me
Cause I loved you, unconditionally
I gave you even more than I had to give
I was willing for you to die
Cause you were more precious to me, than my own life
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Please, please don't leave me
I won't believe, that you really, really
Wanna leave me just because of her
Have you forgot about, all the things, we've been through
She was not the one, who was there for you
I loved you, unconditionally
I gave you even more than I had to give
I was willing for you to die
Cause you were more precious to me, than my own life
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Please, please don't leave me
Don't leave me, I'm begging
I love you, I need you
I'm dying, I'm crying
I'm begging, please love me
I love you, I love you
I'm begging, please love me
I'm dying, I'm crying
Please don't leave me, no, no, no, no, no
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, I'm begging you
Down on my knees, down on my knees
I'm begging you, you you you you
Down on my knees, down on my knees, down on my knees
I'm begging you
Down on my knees, down on my knees, down on my knees
I'm begging you
