Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr. Green's song "Bangers" appear to be a celebration of the popular Nigerian street dance called shaku shaku, accompanied by a mix of hip-hop and afrobeats. The lyrics are largely in Yoruba, a language spoken in southwestern Nigeria, and appear to be a loosely connected series of phrases and references to Nigerian culture and slang. The first two lines of the song namecheck Sami Ganjah, a Nigerian music producer who has worked with artists such as Burna Boy and WizKid, suggesting that the song is a tribute to the Nigerian music scene.


The second verse features several references to Nigerian political figures and is likely intended as social commentary. The line "Ebelesun eyan Rochas Okorocha" references a former governor of Imo State known for his extravagant spending, while the lines "Moti manya wu moti m'ezenbu moti kpeff gan" appear to be mocking those who engage in wasteful spending. The chorus, which repeats the refrain "Issa banger," suggests that the song is intended to be a hit, while the line "Log in Instagram na the banger dey for town" suggests that social media plays a key role in promoting the song.
