Hallelujah Jesu
Worlasi Lyrics

Hallelujah
A religious exclamation of praise to God

Yesu
The Son of God, Jesus, who brings salvation

I thank Jah, for me son Yesu
Expressing gratitude to God for his son Jesus and the gift of salvation he brings

But
Transition to a different topic or thought

Holy Mary, Holy Mary
A prayer to the Virgin Mary, asking for her guidance and protection

Please guide him, Holy Mary
Asking for Mary's guidance and protection for a loved one

Worlasi, Worlasi
The artist's own name, used to speak to himself

What you wanna be, when you older?
A question about one's aspirations and goals for the future

A doctor, or do you wanna teach?
Examples of traditional career paths

Nah, nah mama
A rejection of the traditional career paths offered

I wanna be like Superman, but why?
A desire to be different and special, like the superhero Superman

Cause Spiderman can't fly
A reason why Superman is preferred over another superhero

And I think I got the power to fly
Believing in oneself and one's abilities

Cause last night
An introduction to a dream sequence

I dreamt the house was on fire
A dream where danger and chaos were present

Then all of a sudden, S on my chest
A symbolic representation of Superman's emblem on the artist's chest in the dream

I took you first
Rescuing someone important to him first in the dream

Took you way up in the sky
Escaping danger by flying into the sky

Right on the cloud
A detail of the dream sequence

Where angels stood right by your side
A peaceful and holy image in the dream

That's good son
A positive response from the artist's mother in the dream

Yeah, yeah I know you see mama
The artist acknowledging his mother's approval and understanding of his dreams

Like Superman, I wanna be different, you see mama
Desiring to be unique and special like Superman

I want to be special like Superman, see mama
Reiterating the desire to be like Superman

I want to be on top of the world, you see mama
An aspiration to achieve greatness and success

I wanna be strong and powerful, see mama
Wanting to be capable and influential

Like always do things human beings will wonder
Aspiring to accomplish feats that will impress others

Where I'm from, then I'll tell them that it's you, mama
Giving credit to his mother for his success and dreaming big

It's you who brought me down to this world, to come conquer
Acknowledging his mother's role in bringing him into the world and helping him succeed

(now hail Mary, hail Mary)
A return to the prayer for guidance from the Virgin Mary

Herh! Where u dey?
A question asking where someone is

You dey dream too morch
A criticism of the amount of time spent dreaming

All your paddies start dey job
A comment on peers beginning their careers while the artist is still dreaming

You dey sleep too much
A criticism of the amount of time spent sleeping

Cha! You for wake up
An encouragement to wake up and take action towards achieving his dreams

How many rappers sef wey dey make am?
A reminder that many people have succeeded in the artist's chosen field

You figure say dem go dey der dey watch you
No one will watch and wait for the artist to succeed without action

No! Look son
An admonishment to pay attention and listen

You working hard
Recognizing the artist's effort and hard work

But they working harder
Others are working harder and the artist must step up their game to succeed

So you for look sharp
An encouragement to be vigilant and work smarter

Turn your dreams to goals
Transforming aspirations into a plan of action

Focus on the ball
Concentrating efforts on one goal to achieve success

Turn your plans to poles
Making solid and grounded plans for success

And, make sure you score
Achieving the ultimate goal in mind

Don't be soft, be tough
Encouragement to be strong and resilient

Don't be tough, be soft
An admonishment to balance strength with compassion

Don't cry just because
Not giving up or feeling sorry for oneself when faced with obstacles

Life, is getting tough
Acknowledgment that life can be difficult sometimes

When you try, you fall
Recognizing that failure is a possible outcome when striving towards success

Start afresh, and crawl, crawl
Getting back up after falling and taking small steps to begin again

Till, you see your dreams
Pursuing goals with dedication and determination

If your knees must bleed, then so be it
Accepting the pain and struggle that may accompany working hard towards a goal

Let it be, let it be
Accepting the journey and the challenges that come along with it

That, you made it too
Coming out stronger and more resilient in the end

That, you made it through, all the negativity
Overcoming obstacles and negative influences to achieve success

Thrown to you
The negativity that attempted to hold the artist back

Many succeed but few are legends
Recognizing the difference between success and becoming a legendary figure

Many are priests but few can be gods
A metaphorical statement, recognizing the difference between being average and being exceptional

It all started just a week ago
A reflection on how far the artist has come since starting out

No, looks like a week ago
Feeling like time has gone by quickly

But trust me
Encouragement to believe in oneself and their abilities

All this skill and gold, took longer than a stripper pole
Achieving success and greatness takes time and hard work, like the time it takes to become a skilled stripper

I recall how it took so long, to record just a hook so long
Remembering the difficulty in recording a part of a song that seems simple

As I got what my dreams
Achieving one's dreams and aspirations

Just wanna go hard like the strippers go
A comparison to strippers who also work hard to perform and achieve success

Sucker, you sucker
Addressing someone who underestimated him and his potential

That's what they called me
Being labeled as a failure or someone who can't succeed

Now check how this sucker turned up
Proving doubters wrong and succeeding despite their criticism

I'm sorry too late, you fucked up
Conveying a sense of triumph over those who doubted or underestimated the artist

I'm hurt, now take this you sucker
Turning the pain of being underestimated into motivation to succeed

I'm gonna make you suffer
Making those who doubted the artist feel regret for not believing in him

Make me supper
Reversing the roles and having the artist be the one in charge

I'm a PRO man
Being competent and achieving success in one's chosen field

I'm grown man now
Maturing and developing into an adult who can take care of himself

God first then my family
Prioritizing faith and loved ones above all else

I broke codes that Da Vinci couldn't
Achieving something great that even a renowned historical figure couldn't accomplish

Now Medici family asking
Receiving recognition and attention from those in power

Now who the fuck is W
Demand for more information on the artist and their accomplishments

Bitch I'm not stopping you
Facing down those who would impede or underestimate the artist

So what's stopping you from taking the throne
Encouragement to continue pushing forward and achieving greatness

Better watch your tone, better watch my tone
A reminder that respect and professionalism are important in achieving success

Man I'm fucking grown up
Maturing and developing into an adult who has achieved success

(Ha... ha... ha... ha... ha)
A final exhale or laugh to finish the song
