The lyrics of Tony Tetuila's song "Iseju Akan" (Watch the eyes) is a message to people who are envious and wish for the downfall of others. The song urges listeners to stop wasting their time and energy on others' success and instead focus on making progress for themselves. Tetuila highlights the need for unity among people, emphasizing that together, we can achieve greater things than we can individually. The use of the Yoruba language in the song adds a cultural aspect and strengthens its message to a Yoruba-speaking audience.
The chorus of the song states that those who are always watching others with evil intentions will end up drinking water alone. This implies that those who spend their time trying to bring others down will eventually be left alone, without support or companionship. The verse also criticizes those who resort to seeking spiritual help to harm others out of envy, reminding them that God is watching and it is better to use their time constructively. The song encourages listeners to focus on their goals and work hard, reminding them that success does not come easily.
