Mohbad - Ask About Me (Afrobeats Translation: Lyrics and Meaning)

[@akinajibola7058]

Well done. I enjoyed this. Indeed, only the writer knows exactly all that he sings about. However, I wish you understood some of the deeper meanings, intended puns and metaphors. Like “iku to pa iya teacher” is a common yoruba saying about wanting to know too much or not minding your business. So its like he is saying if you dig deep too deep (or if you keep coming for him and digging into his business) and you finally solve the riddle of what caused “iya teacher’s” death; the answer you find could also be the cause of your own death (the cause of death can kill “n****s”). Another is the reference to “Eiye” flying in the skies. Here he is not just referring to birds but to certain groups of people who group themselves under that appellation. Etc etc!!! 😄

[@dimma2213]

I feel so sad they off his light but God will surely hunt them down, rest on champ

[@simbihawt]

Hi, thanks for explaining that further always appreciate it. Pinned.

[@nmg1909]

This song is like throwing jabs at Naira Marley.

[@arigicaroline8842]

This guy was really pushed to the wall.

[@stlutherikaba]

You bam!

[@KCRUBYWOO]

English translation: Ask about me, Ask about me They tried to catch me, but they cannot Child of God had my back, I will never give up Tada! Surprise! I'm still getting money! What caused the death of the teacher can also cause the death of the guy What flies in the sky? Birds What walks on the ground? Humans walk on the ground Don't step on my toes because it can come back to you You will beg me for mercy It's you that will leave Lagos for us We'll hit you 3 times and you will (dance) fall on the ground Listen, this is only small of what we'll give you I open the Bible and step on satan And I killed satan I broke his leg like Jigan's leg They don't know that I'm successful doing my thing What's causing the problem? What's making you act like this? They want to cage me! But things have changed! They cannot do it to me We don't talk to double mouth fake people! I don't play with those type of people anymore.

[@priscillaghartey3239]

Sadly he had enemies home as well who sold him out. Thanks for the translation. Imole still won. The truth is out. His glory is here. 💡

[@Oyeposimi]

She really killed the translation all the way, for a Nigerian who lives in Nigeria, I applaud you🎉

[@raufabdulai6430]

Am from Ghana 🇬🇭 and I think da Yoruba language is rich and deep in meaning wid lots of wise saying Das why dey make music wid it it’s so good 😊

[@jifeey]

This guy made me love Yoruba and was willing to learn so I can understand the sweet words he kept putting together. Mohbad, you did me wrong!!! I can't get over this pain

[@wisdomwizzy5248]

Mohbad prophesied and it went ahead of him timeless, all tho his enemies fall him but they will have no peace till this world comes to an end, there will be instant justice for Imole, they can’t off Gods light 💡 Imole RIP Moh. Rest on Soldier

[@simbihawt]

RIP ❤️

What they did it wasn’t nice 😢

[@martyking2015]

Wow thank you for translating! I am Zambian and have really been following the ordeal sarounding the demise of Mohbad. I only l learntt of him after his death and the way he has become so big is just astonishing. This translation you have done has really helped me to understand that this guy was a great lyricist, well orated and delivered words in his music. And you can tell that he started a long time ago telling the public about his experiences, this song says it.

[@adekeyeoluwole2076]

Many of his songs until recently were thought to be nairamaley's

[@favouratta6047]

Exactly 😢😢

[@mwansamulenga996]

Exactly am zambian too ,the way am invested 😭💔

[@James-ji6lc]

He came He saw He spoke we coudnt understand and he left. RIP imole

[@antonio_cruz_lopez]

You’re right

[@AimeDaba]

Thanks so much for the translation.Im a die heart fan of Mohbad..Much love from Cameroon 🇨🇲

[@simbihawt]

You’re welcome! 🙂 Much love to Cameroon 🤎🫶🏾

[@UcheEthel]

Thank you for the Translation, because I have been listening to this track since he died.

[@simbihawt]

You’re welcome 🤎

[@denatora7142]

Simbi chai, you are good with translation sha. Its funny how some people think afrobeats got no lyrics when in the ground scheme of things, afrobeats is full of metaphors, simile, a lot of figure of speech and especially proverbs. The proverbs in Yoruba songs too much.

[@simbihawt]

This is soooo true! Not just for vibes but passes good messages. I still miss some but people help in the comments

[@Iamarch1980]

2024 & I’m still back here 😢 Keep resting imole 🕯👑🙏🏽

[@dumisanisakasa2760]

Thank you very much am watching all the way from SA LIMPOPO MUSINA... I started following him wen he's no more, may he's soul rest in peace 😭😭😭😭

[@Bunbun01]

Omg, thank you so much, honestly.… as a fan of his that’s not Nigerian, we can finally understand what he meant through words instead of rhythm. Music is indeed a universal language😅

[@simbihawt]

Yes!

[@asuquogospel1952]

Well done for this great work... this guy was a deeply spiritual guy. His songs have so much deep meanings.

[@simbihawt]

Very true

[@VictorOzonwanji-rj6ke]

Deep

[@pimejskills3418]

Mohbad! at 27 u fought so hard as 72.😢 The Mercy of God will speak for you in eternity & grant you eternal rest/ peace that u didn't get to experience here on Earth. Imole! no one can off the light of God & go Scott free , Justice must prevail. Even though you're no more, you'll forever be remembered for walking away & fighting against evil even at the expense of your life, for the up coming artist not to be subjected to evil. Thank you dearie, for taking out time to translate. I was so emotional going thru the lyrics

[@simbihawt]

Amen!!!

[@salibah5839]

Thank you for taking the time to translate for those who love Mohbad, im a huge fan, it was always something about Mohbad that led me to a be a fan for years.. understanding the meaning makes me feel so sad but i know he is resting peacefully! Rest In eternal Peace Imole 🕯️, You're light will shine forever ♾️

[@simbihawt]

If you're built for finesse, beauty and shine, there's a way you don't get there before you drop... countless heroes went down young. RIP, Mohbad.

Me too loved the words play and I had to Google lyrics sothat I could sing along while playing the track. RIP MOHBAD IMOLE 🙏🙏🙏

[@dandowell8501]

He reminds me so much of Tupac. Both were Young, wise beyond their years, they both had super musical talent, had enemies that played a big role in their last days and their lyrics showed that. Both were taken from us as they were feeling out their purpose.
