The lyrics to Mr Eazi's song "Accra to Lagos" encapsulate the struggles and triumphs of an individual's journey to success. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the unwavering support of his mother who prays for him every night, sending him blessings even when she's sleepless. The singer's father encourages and inspires him, allowing him to pursue his passion as a singer despite initially intended to attend school.
The singer's sister, however, doesn't seem to appreciate his music and criticizes him. Nevertheless, he declares that she is still his biggest lover. The singer's loyal partner is his biggest supporter and doesn't play tricks on him. Nobody knows the struggles and challenges the singer and his partner have gone through to get to where they are, but they keep smiling and thanking God for the grace that enables them to do so.
The song's chorus is repetitive and encourages listeners to let the music take control and express their love to those they care about. Finally, the song ends with the singer emphasizing that nobody knows the struggles that people face, and the ability to smile despite them is a product of grace.
