Lyrics to “Reason” Asake ft Russ
[Intro- Asake]
Instrumental
Magic, magic, can you imagine?
Gbewon sare bi Sonic (Made them run like Sonic.)
Tune in to the king of sounds and blues
[Verse 1 -Asake]
Say na my reason I dey reason for my bed [I am reasoning my matter on the bed.]
I no dey think about anything, na my hustle dey my head [Dey my head] (I am thinking of nothing else except my hustle]
As I dey work, I dey pray, I believe in Jehovah, everything I dey do dey go well [As I am working , I am praying. I believe in Jehovah. Everything I am doing is going well.]
No be everything wey you see you go talk. I know mind anybody wey dey talk, olohun ma dull eh [It’s not everything that you see that you would talk about. I don’t mind anyone that is talking, honestly, I would dull you.]
If I no come make you do, If you no do, make I kpai for the titi if I ever-ever vеx [If I don’t come, just do. If you do, let me die on the road if I ever get angry.]


[Chorus -Asake]
So po ti lo [Say it’s gone.]
Ma lo bawon fogo la L’agbon [Don’t join them in breaking bottles in Alagbon]
Eruku po lopo lopo [So much dust in various forms.]
Omo ologo bami soro, ki lon so? [Glorious child, talk to me. What are you saying?]
And awon temi dami mo [My people identify me.]
Mi o gara, mo para, mo jade tan [I am not proud; I am open]
Eruku po lopo lopo [So much dust in various forms.]
Omo ologo bami soro, ki lon so? [Glorious child, talk to me. What are you saying?]


[Verse 2- Russ]
Yeah, my timing was off and my Nissan alignmеnt was off but my mind was enough
I was on my sh!t dog, trick is to think like you’re rich already
Did a lot of shows with no xxxx
Dropped a lot of songs that didn’t blow up
But I never lost faith in this, knew they wouldn’t give it to me, had to take this sh#t, yeah
All this time invested, knew that I was gonna get my blessing
Knew that it was just gon’ take some time, but one day I’m gon’ shine
Imagine if would’ve have stopped, my family would’ve never got a life boat
Now I ain’t going back to that life so
Make a lot of changing money, everything will go nice
If I lose it all tonight, it’ll be aight though


[Chorus- Asake]
So po ti lo [Say it’s gone.]
Ma lo bawon fogo la L’agbon [Don’t join them in breaking bottles in Alagbon]
Eruku po lopo lopo [The dust is much in various forms.]
Omo ologo bami soro, ki lon so? [Glorious child, talk to me. What are you saying?]
And awon temi dami mo [My people identify me.]
Mi o gara, mo para, mo jade tan [I am not proud; I am open]
Eruku po lopo lopo [The dust is much in various forms.]
Omo ologo bami soro, ki lon so? [Glorious child, talk to me. What are you saying?]


[Outro- Asake]
Lo ‘n so, lo ‘n so lowo [They are saying, they are saying currently]
Oro wa lo ‘n so [It is our matter they are talking about.]
Mr. Money
So po ti lo [Say it’s gone.]
Lo ‘n so, lo ‘n so [They are saying]
Eruku po lopo lopo [So much dust in various forms.]
