Read the Zesty Money lyrics by CupidSZN. Understand the Pidgin English phrases, cultural references, and song meaning for singalongs and karaoke.
The lyrics for CupidSZN’s Zesty Money offer a blend of Nigerian Pidgin English and cultural references. The song frames a narrative of lavish spending and romantic attraction, using common local expressions. Phrases like “Wetin you give me chop e no be for here” and “Me I fit to forgive but I no fit forget” utilize Pidgin to communicate a complex mix of lingering attachment and present indulgence. The hook, “You go chop my money today say collect,” directly translates to a willingness to provide financially, a recurrent theme in popular Nigerian music that discusses love and patronage. A notable line introduces a political metaphor, “show the wickedness like regime of tinubu,” which references the current Nigerian political climate and president, comparing a partner’s commanding allure to the authority of a government.

This insertion grounds the song in a specific sociocultural moment. Another line shifts to French, “Tes meme merchante meme ci Jaime bien ca au fond,” loosely interpreted as a boast about self-worth and appeal. The verse containing “my medulla oblongata don burst” employs anatomical terminology humorously to express being overwhelmed. The lyrics overall avoid a singular story for a mood, celebrating a carefree, spendthrift attitude in a romantic context. They are written for call-and-response and club chanting, with repetitive structures designed for easy recall. The use of “Oya na” is a pervasive Nigerian exclamation to spur action. For listeners seeking to understand the phrases for karaoke or deeper cultural knowledge, the song serves as a current example of how Nigerian pop music blends language, street slang, and contemporary life.
