Asake “Nzaza” Song/Lyrics Breakdown
Just like the title of the song “Nzaza” which translates to “Answer, answer” in English, Asake is praying to God to answer his prayers and make his big dream come through as he is pushing. He is praying that God crowns his efforts with success amid envious people, people who don’t care about him, and people who have bad opinions about him and believe that he won’t be successful.
In verse 1, Asake sings about having a big dream where he was crowned with success. He believed in his dream, left home, and pursued it. He also said that one would be what one is destined to be even if it is delayed or if people try to change it. According to him, in his determination to make it, he kept pushing and prayed to God to make his dreams come through.
In verse 2, he sang about how people ignored him and did not care about him at all. He said he was also envied by friends. Asake also said people had a terrible opinion of him and believed he wouldn’t be successful. Today, his story has changed. He is living a good life. He wishes people what they wish him.
In the pre-chorus, Asake said one can not feast or make ends meet if the person is working. He also says no matter how little people look, you should not look down on them. He warns people not to look down on him and that he is not little.

Tune in to the king of sounds and blues
[Verse 1]
Iyanu yen shock won bakan biti Badboy timz (The miracle shocked them like that of Bad boy Timz)
Say wetin go be go be, dem no fit hold me on G [Whatever would be would be. They can’t hold me, on God]
Won le le, won le le, won le le oh [They pursued tirelessly]
From Ojuelegba to Ikate oh, I show dem pepper kin to san’le oh [From Ojuelegba to Ikate, I made them go through a lot before I ran from home.]
Because I know my dream, mi o kere oh [Because I know my dream, I am not small.]
Jazz on jazz but their jazz don cast [Voodoos upon voodoos, but, their voodoos have been exposed.]
Only strong fit to fit survive [Only the strong can survive.]
See am for my dream as I wear my crown [I saw it in my dream as I wore my crown.]
Get down on my knees and I pray to Jah ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Person wey no work oh, tell me how e wan chop, mehn I don’t know-know [Tell me how someone that’s not working wants to eat? I don’t know.]

So many kilokanmi [So many “What concerns me”]
How many me I wan talk [How many do I want to talk about.]
So many friends dey envy [So many friends are envying.]

My head strong pass coconut [My head is stronger than a coconut.]
Dem try, dem no reach me on God [They tried, but weren’t able to reach me, it is on God.]
Anything wey you wish me, me I wish you back [Anything you wish me, I wish you back]
Omo make I focus on my grind oh (Let me focus on my grind.)
