He further emphasizes that there is no time to regret anything and that he will keep heading towards the top with his friends by his side. The chorus repeats the phrase "Iyanu ah shele o," which loosely translates to "Miracles will happen" and asks for God's protection and blessings.


The second verse starts with the artist asking for someone to pour holy water on him and praying for "ako nuche," which means wealth, abundance, and prosperity.
