The lyrics for Kendickson’s “Exotic (Isakaba)” weave a narrative of witnessed experience and the search for clarity or escape. The words provide a rich, multilingual text for listeners, blending Nigerian Pidgin English and Igbo to create a culturally resonant story. The song opens with a repetitive, almost weary refrain: “I don see many things” (“I have seen many things”). This establishes a theme of lived experience, possibly hardship or chaos, that the singer carries. The desire for something to “clear my eye” introduces a quest for relief or a new perspective.

The chorus introduces the titular concept as a form of solace or transformation: “Exotic whenever I’m sober / 1 shot of tequila / For all is gon be over.” This presents “exotic” as a state or substance that offers an escape from sober reality. Later verses expand on the weight of these “many things,” mentioning “calamities and formalities” and a life pushing toward “conformity,” with a plea not to be held down. The lyrics then shift into a more assertive, celebratory mode with the “Isakaba” section, boasting about pulling up with a crew and shutting down places, which adds a layer of confidence and street credibility to the personal narrative.
For fans seeking the lyrics for singing or performance, the song offers a compelling mix of introspection and boast. The repetitive Pidgin hooks like “I don see many things” are easy to grasp and chant, while the Igbo phrases like “umu isakaba” provide authentic cultural flavor. This bilingual approach makes the track engaging for a wide Nigerian audience and the diaspora. The lyrics move from a place of seeking relief to one of claiming space and status, providing a dynamic emotional arc that is effective for both personal connection and energetic group singalongs, especially in settings where the blend of struggle and swagger resonates.

Lyrics
I don see many things
I don see many things
I don see many things
I don see many things
My eye don see many things

I want something to clear my eye
Exotic whenever I′m sober

For all is gon be over
Exotic whenever I’m sober

And if I tell you things maka chukwu

Life want to push me to conformity

Exotic whenever I′m sober
1 shut of tequila
For all is gon be over
