Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You dey pop bottle when you dey club
But your renting dey hard you to pay up
Na waa
You dey owe money since last year
But na brand new jeep when you drive here
You dey pop zobo give this fine girl
You dey tell mary say you will die there
And you promise all marriage at the same time
And you claim that you came from the north side
But your name is james on the online
You dey form big boy like you dey chop bar
Meanwhile you are internet fraudster
According to your friends and your tight gee
You were finishing school in the 90's
But we read it in the paper and the magazine
That your present age is 19
Ahnn!!
Excuse me I beg your pardon
Oga this your story nor dey hardo
And this your fabu e dey madh gan
But who am I to take a action
So I say, Wehdone Sir!
Wehdone Sir!
Tell am say Wehdone Sir!
Wehdone Sir!
Tell am say Wehdone Sir!
Wehdone Sir!
So I say Wehdone Sir!
Wehdone Sir!
Your pastor dey go holiday abroad
But you still dey pray in the name of God
Make you see food oh
Make you nor fail to God
Man of God dey chop
Him dey robust
In your small salary
You will pay your tithe
Fellowship in the day
Crusade for night
So you're out here looking for more chiz
But apostle is getting on Forbes list
When me nor dey go
Buy house for jand
When me nor get chimgbayne for hand
He say money nor dey
Make we understand
But his private jet is about to land
Ilu ron kpe this time around
Foreign account dey convert to pounds
You didn't know when you're splashing out
Now you say that the naira is crashing out
Excuse me I beg your pardon
Oga this your story nor dey hang gan
This your fabu e dey mad gan
But who am I to take a action
So I say Wehdone Sir!
Wehdone Sir!

You that didn't complete 3 square meal
But you are driving the latest range rover 2017 model
Wehdone Sir!
You are into yahoo yahoo activity
And you say out to your friend
I'm a self employed businessman
Wehdone Sir!
You are a member of the ladies of the night
But you still call yourself a entrepreneur
Wehdone Ma!
Ride on ride on
We are still watching you from the high place

Wehdone Sir!
The opening lines of Falz's "Wehdone Sir" seem to describe a hypocrite who goes around showing off and celebrating their fake lifestyle while owing debts and leading false lives. Falz points out how people pretend to have money and show off with their friends while not paying rent and owing debts for months. The lyrics add that this man continues to promise marriage to seven different women at the same time while driving a brand new jeep and popping bottles. Falz even exposes their withered conscience by pointing out that they are internet fraudsters.
The second part of the song talks about religious leaders who sometimes act in contrast to their teachings, charging exorbitant prices and enriching themselves through the misfortune of their followers. Falz refers to the instance of pastors and archbishops owning private jets while many of their congregations are unable to afford proper meals and basic utilities. He points out the irony of members of the congregation who still pay tithes from their meagre salaries while these spiritual leaders enjoy extravagant lifestyles. Falz adds that he cannot act against these people and their actions but has to say "Wehdone Sir/Ma" regardless.
Overall, the song highlights how people can easily put up a facade and live a false lifestyle while their actions and life choices do not match their words; Falz is calling out such people and bringing their bad behaviour to light through the lyrics of this song.

worldof emma If someone doesn't have a strong and solid relationship with GOD, they'd take this message as don't go to Church and pay tithes, coz you're paying tithes into the Pastor's bank account, which is wrong.
Christians pay tithes because GOD asked us to in Malachi 3:10-12
3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
Paying your tithes is paying into the coffers of the Church to support the ministry and GOD'S work.
The problem is with THE PASTOR'S who use tithes for personal use. They have GOD to answer to. That shouldn't stop you from paying your tithes.
One should instead look for a Bible believing Church whose Pastor is Not on "Forbes list" that actually uses the money for Missionary work and the spreading of the gospel. I know of one Church, and that is Deeper Life Bible Church.
Funny story is, these same people applauding falz, with their MEAGRE salary, would go to clubs and waste all the money trying to impress women they can't keep. Isn't that just devil deceiving people.
Look at the passage I put above, and look at all the blessings that come with paying your tithes to GOD, and tell me one good thing that comes out of spending money in clubs drinking, subsequently fornicating and waking up without your dignity and self respect.... I'd wait.
Plus it's so funny how these club guys then go to Church looking for wives to marry... and you think GOD would give you HIS daughter that HE has preserved for HIS true sons who worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth?... Keep dreaming!.
Please before we applaud any form of so-called creativity, let's be clear of what we're supporting.
2 John 1:9-11
1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Matthew 4:17
4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
GOD BLESS.

I love Falz's method of addressing social issues in our country. The song is not only catchy but also very informative. The message is powerful. Well done Falz 👏🏽
@osugabriel
Wehdone Sir!
@kennybush2004
I agree too, love. I strongly agree..hmm.
@circlevideos7190
Falz is the definition of relief to the Nigerian Music Industry. I mean, how do we explain someone who deliberately murders English language while passing his messages? He sure has a way for starting a trend. The message is very powerful. This is in the bag already... Well done, Falz!
