Shoma duro Shoma japa
In Zamorra's song Run Away, the lyrics express the desire for reciprocated love and loyalty in a relationship. The singer addresses his significant other and asks if she would be there for him in his time of need just as he promises to be there for her. Zamorra assures his lover that he will go to great lengths for her, such as making financial sacrifices and even going back to high school, but since love is a two-way street, he wants to know if she would do the same for him. The chorus repeats the question "Shey you go dey or would you run away" as a plea for honesty and a commitment to staying by each other's side.
The phrase "Shoma duro Shoma japa" in the song's repeating chorus is a combination of two Yoruba words that mean "stay" and "run away" respectively. It can be interpreted as Zamorra's way of saying, "Stay with me, and don't run away." The lyrics also utilize Nigerian Pidgin English and Yoruba, which are prevalent languages in the country's music scene.
