Video Description: The album begins with a voice note which Mr Eazi’s mother left on his phone as she recovered from an important surgery. “Olúwa Jọ̀ is a prayer,” Mr Eazi says. “It means Please God.” The intro track ponders mortality, aging, maturity and loyalty, sentiments he was forced to consider as he spent time by his mother’s side in hospital. “I saw these people laying down at the end of their lives, just lonely, waiting to die,” he recalls. “I thought: Who is going to be with me if I was in this situation? Who will be there by the side of the bed?” He also realized he was lacking people with whom he could discuss his current predicaments and challenges. “I realized: There are some things I wanted to express.” While the album is, in a sense, a document of Mr Eazi’s travels across Africa over the last several years, “Olúwa Jọ̀” was made in London, with the exception of the chorus by Beninese vocal group Les Teriba. “I felt the song needed some female voices,” Mr Eazi says. “I went to an event where France was returning a stolen artifact to Benin, and there were women singing – folk performers. I asked for their number, and the following day they came into the studio.” Lyrics Tosin Good Morning Once again thank you I just woke up to see a standing order again May the Lord stand for you in Jesus Name Tell my mummy sey i go bare the cost Tell Deborah sey enough is enough My friends tell me I don change ‘cause i no dey pick their call Some vex for me ‘cause i unfollow them for instagram E be hard to know person wey love me for real Swear to God i feel lonely with people around me I get problems i dey face Tell me na who i go yarn My pastor say e go pray As long as i send am cash Olúwa Jọ̀ Wa gbemi soké Titilai Olúwa o Ma ju mi sile Lai Lai Olúwa Jọ̀ Wa gbemi soké Titilai Olúwa o Ma ju mi sile Lai Lai Follow Mr Eazi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialmrEaZi/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mreazi SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/mreazi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mreazi Web: http://mreazi.com YouTube: http://smarturl.it/MrEaziYouTube #MrEazi #OluwaJo #theevilgenius
