When I'm High
Street Savvy Revelations: When High, Life Unfolds
Lyrics
Eh!
Expression of surprise or attention, initiating the narrative.
Somebody tell me say aiye yii kole
Someone informs that this life is not easy.
Big pull up in a big van see wetin cause Gobe
Arrival in a significant vehicle reveals a troublesome situation.
Woti je koyemi nle family nbe lode
Having to stay cautious for family while facing challenges.
Cause the boy has a big mind say the street shii must pay
Emphasizing the importance of a broad perspective for success in the tough streets.
So they be like oja osalo
Referring to a market (oja) with potential dangers.
Aero plane odabo
Farewell to conventional means of transport, possibly embracing a new lifestyle.
Me I no dey waste time drug baron
Not wasting time; portraying a determined, efficient personality.
Ewo film wo daran
Expressing disregard for irrelevant things; focusing on personal goals.
Help me call my plug miorasho mo cover
Asking for assistance in contacting a supplier for a substance (possibly drugs).
Whenever I’m on MD I remember mo suffer
Reflecting on struggles in the past when not high.
When I’m high... when I’m high
Repeating the state of being high, a central theme in the song.
I might be so busy to call kitchen
Too occupied to attend to basic needs like calling the kitchen.
Ona ti Jin mofe Pawo
Expressing a desire to explore beyond current limits.
Please don’t miss me and don’t tease me
Pleading not to be forgotten or mocked during the absence.
I won’t beef you toba gba loan
Assuring not to hold grudges if a loan is granted.
Why I no go dance
Rhetorical question expressing a desire to celebrate.
Somebody ginger me
Seeking encouragement or motivation from someone.
So they be like oja osalo
Reiteration of the potential dangers in the market (oja).
Aero plane odabo
Another farewell to conventional means of transport, possibly emphasizing a lifestyle change.
