Reminisce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Olohun ma jekin ri ibanuje
I'm a one man soldier
See I carry my hustle for my shoulder
Olohun ma jekin ri ibanuje
I'm a one man soldier (Oh oh oh)
Cause if money no dey mo ma ma kan'ran
Do it for my brothers (Oh oh oh)
When I was young I heard people preach about Jesus
Word was give to Ceasar what is Ceaser's
As e dey go I got my hustle on my shoulders
Jeje ni mon lo mhen (Hmm hmm mm)
Ani r'ogun akoba
Steady on my grind
I'm focused for many reasons
Been here a couple of years
I'm prepping for many seasons
My girl is my motivation
To ba mo mi you should see this
Word to Almighty Allah because he sees this
He sees it all
What's the above and what's beneath me
Lone sheep amongst the wolves
And yet he shields me
Automatically bo gb'ogun wa they can't defeat me
Cornerstone levels
First to hate me then they need me
Big up to all the girls I dated
Whether you gave me peace or had me aggravated
Took a minute before I made it
That's the reason I get up on my ass
I hustle like I never fucking made it
See I carry my hustle for my shoulder
Olohun ma jekin ri ibanuje
I'm a one man soldier (Oh oh oh)
Cause if money no dey mo ma ma kan'ran
So even if you don't do it for me
Do it for my brothers (Oh oh oh)
8 in the morning and I'm yarning the pillowcase is warm
I should have been up but my alarm didn't go off (Hmm)
My nightly dreams lately been tormenting me
I'm wrestling with stressing I'm feeling upside down like Diana Ross
I slide the covers to the side
And throw on my sweat in a vests
And I pray a blessing and calculate the cost
What do we give only the living
Poverty prolly stuck in this jungle
Fuck it I go hop in the car
I know I'm headed out this bitch so (Ooh ooh)
Guess my family better be rich though (Rich though)
When I leave they need them keys
I may never score but I at least maybe assist though
Uh I call my nephew just to reconcile
My final sins is the final end need a rescue now (Oh oh)
You tell me money ain't the answer
I'm dirty dancing with fate (Oh oh)
While my faith is the only thing that brings the blessings that I have (Oh oh)
See I carry my hustle for my shoulder
Olohun ma jekin ri ibanuje
I'm a one man soldier (Oh oh oh)
Cause if money no dey mo ma ma kan'ran
So even if you don't do it for me
Do it for my brothers (Ohoh oh oh)
Hmm
Oh ohoh oh
Olohun ma jekin ri ibanuje
I'm a one man soldier
Oh ohoh oh

See I carry my hustle for my shoulder
My hustle is always with me and I carry it on my shoulder wherever I go
Olohun ma jekin ri ibanuje
God, please don't let me encounter trouble
I'm a one man soldier
I'm fighting this battle on my own
Cause if money no dey mo ma ma kan'ran
Because if there's no money, I'll keep striving
So even if you don't do it for me
Even if nobody supports me
Do it for my brothers
I hustle for my family and others in my community
When I was young I heard people preach about Jesus
Growing up, I was taught about religion and morality
Word was give to Ceasar what is Ceaser's
As the saying goes, you should give what belongs to someone to that person
Jeje ni mon lo mhen (Hmm hmm mm)
I move gradually and calmly
Steady on my grind
I'm persistent in my work
I'm focused for many reasons
I have multiple motivations that keep me on track
Been here a couple of years
I've been doing this for a while
I'm prepping for many seasons
I'm preparing for the long haul
My girl is my motivation
The love of my life inspires and drives me
To ba mo mi you should see this
If you knew me, you'd understand
Word to Almighty Allah because he sees this
God knows what I'm doing and why I'm doing it
He sees it all
God is all-knowing
What's the above and what's beneath me
In this world and in the hereafter
Lone sheep amongst the wolves
I'm vulnerable, but still going strong
And yet he shields me
God protects me from harm
Automatically bo gb'ogun wa they can't defeat me
I'm so strong that my enemies can't beat me
Cornerstone levels
I'm working hard to build a secure foundation
First to hate me then they need me
People who once disliked me now depend on me
Big up to all the girls I dated
I appreciate all the women I've dated
Whether you gave me peace or had me aggravated
Even the difficult relationships taught me something
Took a minute before I made it
It took me a while to become successful
That's the reason I get up on my ass
That's why I work so hard
I hustle like I never fucking made it
I'm always pushing myself, never complacent
8 in the morning and I'm yarning the pillowcase is warm
I'm waking up late and the bed is still cozy
I should have been up but my alarm didn't go off (Hmm)
My alarm clock failed me
My nightly dreams lately been tormenting me
I've been having unsettling dreams
I'm wrestling with stressing I'm feeling upside down like Diana Ross
I'm struggling with anxiety and feeling disoriented
I slide the covers to the side
I'm getting up and starting my day
And throw on my sweat in a vests
I'm putting on my workout clothes
And I pray a blessing and calculate the cost
Before I start my day, I ask for guidance and plan ahead
What do we give only the living
We should focus on living our lives and giving back
Poverty prolly stuck in this jungle
Poverty is common in this area
Fuck it I go hop in the car
I'm not dwelling on poverty, I'm moving forward
I know I'm headed out this bitch so (Ooh ooh)
I know I'm going to make it out of this situation
Guess my family better be rich though (Rich though)
I want to succeed for the sake of my family
When I leave they need them keys
When I pass away, I want to leave something valuable behind
I may never score but I at least maybe assist though
I may not always succeed, but I can still help others succeed
I call my nephew just to reconcile
I reach out to my family to make amends
My final sins is the final end need a rescue now (Oh oh)
I need to make up for my past mistakes before it's too late
You tell me money ain't the answer
Some people say that money doesn't solve everything
I'm dirty dancing with fate (Oh oh)
I'm taking risks and living dangerously
While my faith is the only thing that brings the blessings that I have (Oh oh)
My belief in God is what sustains me and gives me hope
