The song "Turn Off The Lights" by Dr. Dre vs. World Class Wreckin' Crew is a blend of Nigerian elements in the lyrics and a hip-hop beat. The song features Danny S, Mr Le, and Small Doctor, each of whom introduces themselves in the beginning. The lyrics feature Nigerian slang such as "Motila molly zoom zoom" and "Ankara jo Gucci." The song switches back and forth between English and Yoruba, a Nigerian language.
The chorus of the song, "Off the light, Epanor hustle tight esha che, Hold the wire efa wire aaaaaaah, Ki lonro Malo ro, Ki lonbo Malo bo ebernor, Ki lonwo malo rooo," seems to be encouraging the listener to turn off the lights, hustle tight, and hold on to their money because people may be out to get them.
Throughout the song, the lyrics also touch on themes such as prayer, money, and police brutality. In the bridge, the song says "Adura ngba ninu club, Owo nan pin ninu church, Omo nan wa lo is mosque, Doko dobo is a most," highlighting that prayer can happen in any setting, whether it be a club, church, mosque or most unexpected place.

Michel'le is one hell of a woman. She is the reason this song was a hit. I remember it back then and the memories flood me, taking me back to a time where things were much better.
