NB:

This unreleased track, “Bolanle,” is an original creative work by young Nigerian writer and musician Ochai G. Isaac aka Agoje 1 Jnr. showcasing the rich lyrical and rhythmic essence of Afrobeats fused with contemporary Afro-pop energy. Though not yet recorded, the song carries the soulful vibrance and streetwise wisdom typical of artists like Adekunle Gold, Fireboy DML, or Kizz Daniel. “Bolanle” remains open for patronage, collaboration, and production, inviting visionary artists and producers to bring its infectious rhythm and heartfelt message to life.

[Intro]

Yeah yeah…
Owo! (Call!) Bolanle! (Response!)
Ehh… ehh…

[Chorus]

Mummy mi o Bolanle, (Bolanle, Bolanle)
Daddy mi o Bolanle, (Shey you know, Bolanle)
So me sef no Bolanle, (Bolanle, oh Bolanle)

But I get glory (Glory!)
To change the story (Story!)
Na one thing wey dey carry me go far,
Ogbeni ma je ko lo far far,
O le shalaye bi kadara se ya to si ra wan’.

[Verse 1]

Story of my life, e no sweet for beginning,
But I dey thank God, now the boy dey winning.
From the ghetto to the world, I dey shine like star,
Small small blessing, don dey carry me far.

I no dey rush, I no dey drag, I dey trust my way,
Every hustle, every sweat go dey pay one day.
Enemies dey wish, make my leg stumble,
But na grace dey cover me, I no dey crumble.

[Chorus]

Mummy mi o Bolanle, (Bolanle, Bolanle)
Daddy mi o Bolanle, (Shey you know, Bolanle)
So me sef no Bolanle, (Bolanle, oh Bolanle)

But I get glory (Glory!)
To change the story (Story!)
Na one thing wey dey carry me go far,
Ogbeni ma je ko lo far far,
O le shalaye bi kadara se ya to si ra wan’.

[Verse 2]

Dem dey look my pocket, say e dry like harmattan,
But tomorrow fit soft, e go sweet like Ramadan.
If dem block one road, I go find another lane,
Focus dey reign, I no dey do shakara again.

Friends go dey hail you when the money dey show,
But when yawa gas, na vanish dem go.
Me I sabi who dey real, who dey fake for the gram,
Na the same ol’ story wey dey play for the land.

[Bridge]

(Bolanle! Bolanle!)
Blessings go locate me, o Bolanle!
(Everyday! Everyday!)
Glory go dey follow me, everyday!
Hands in the air if you believe,
Na your time, make you no dey grieve!
Oya sing with me loud, say…

[Chorus]

(Repeat, with heavier backup adlibs)
Mummy mi o Bolanle, (Bolanle, Bolanle)
Daddy mi o Bolanle, (Shey you know, Bolanle)
So me sef no Bolanle, (Bolanle, oh Bolanle)

But I get glory (Glory!)
To change the story (Story!)
Na one thing wey dey carry me go far,
Ogbeni ma je ko lo far far,
O le shalaye bi kadara se ya to si ra wan’.

[Outro / Fade]

(Bolanle, Bolanle… oh oh oh…)
Glory carry me go far…
Blessing dey follow me…
Bolanle…
