Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Olamide's song Durosoke showcases his pride and confidence in his success and financial status. The song opens with his call to take things outdoors and indoors, implying a show of wealth and luxury. He further boasts about the influence his status has, as people now try to be closer to him. He uses slangs and Yoruba proverbs to demonstrate his social class, and he explicitly mentions the transformation of his financial status, claiming they are "fully loaded" and no longer counting their money.


The chorus, "Se kowale ko duro soke," serves as the song's title and essentially means "Are you selling or dancing?" It is an invitation for people to show off their dance moves or display their wealth by making a purchase. He features the term heavily throughout the lyrics, building on this idea of wealth and confidence. The song boasts of the different neighborhoods and cities represented by those who are feeling him, calling out some by name. He mentions that even in London and America, people love his music and dance moves. The song reiterates his pride in his heritage by mentioning people from different tribes in Nigeria. Olamide also throws jabs at his haters or enemies, claiming that they run away at the sight of his success. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, calling for people to dance or show off their wealth.
