The opening lines of Wizkid's song "2 Sugar" convey a sense of emotional weight and regret. The singer expresses that they have a "bag full of feeling" and a "house full of regret," which suggests that they are carrying emotional baggage from past experiences. The singer acknowledges that this baggage is causing a conflict within themselves, and this conflict is preventing them from moving forward. The lyrics also contain a sense of frustration and confusion as the singer questions why someone is moving slowly in their life. The line "As you move no dey cross my lane" implies that the singer is looking for clarity and wants to avoid any potential roadblocks that may come their way.
The chorus of the song is a repeated phrase, "ma gbe sunmomi," which means "mind your business" in Yoruba.

Wizkid's lyrics encourage listeners to focus on their own journeys, and not to get bogged down by external negativity or drama. The song is also an affirmation of Wizkid's Nigerian heritage, with the repeated Yoruba phrase adding a sense of cultural pride and identity to the song.
