If to Say
Divine Plea: Embracing Blessings in 'If to Say' by Adedayo Tunez and Oluwacoded
Lyrics
Call me Adedayo
Identifying as Adedayo
Adedayo Tunez
Reiterating the identity as Adedayo Tunez
Turn it up for the boy
Asking for attention or appreciation for the singer
Oluwacoded
Identifying as Oluwacoded
Oluwacoded
Repeating the identity as Oluwacoded
If to say
Contemplating a hypothetical situation
If to say
Reflecting on an imagined scenario
If to say Na them be God
Speculating that if they were God, things would be different
Won le ni kojo maro
Others might envy or be jealous
Toba je pawon loluwa ni
If they were as powerful as God, they could control situations
Then fit say make we no shine
People might try to dim their success if they had that power
Baba bless me bless me
Requesting blessings from God or a higher power
I no wan borrow
Expressing a desire not to depend on borrowing
Baba bless me bless me
Reiterating the plea for blessings to avoid hardship
I no wan suffer
Desiring to avoid suffering or hardship
Man no be God o
Emphasizing the limitations of human beings compared to God
Man no be God o
Repeating the idea that humans are not gods
Oluwajuwonlo
Referencing a name, possibly for God
Them be wan make I borrow
Others might want the singer to borrow from them
Baba mi juwonlo
Seeking higher protection or guidance (Baba mi = My father)
