The lyrics for Shallipopi’s “Afa Relax Oo” featuring Young Jonn offer a vivid snapshot of contemporary Nigerian youth culture, luxury, and romantic pursuit. For fans seeking the words for singalongs or karaoke, the song weaves Nigerian Pidgin, English, and Benin City slang into its narrative. Shallipopi opens his verse with declarations of lavish spending, using terms like “bunda” and “nyash” which are colloquial references to physical appeal. His lines about stacking money “like a shooter” and “like a player” employ sports metaphors to depict financial growth and a competitive mindset. The verse grounds itself in geography with “I born it shami, I live in Abuja,” acknowledging his origins in Benin City’s Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium area and his current base in the nation’s capital, a common trajectory for successful artists.

The phrase “roger like soldier” borrows from military radio procedure to mean acknowledging and acting, while comparing romantic pursuit to eating “suya” (a popular spicy grilled meat) adds a distinctly local flavor. Young Jonn’s verse complements this by emphasizing wisdom and hustle. His lines “Backy for ground, money for hand” paint a picture of material success, and the shift to the Yoruba phrase “Kini mo ṣe n si?” meaning “What am I doing wrong?” introduces a moment of introspection. The chorus, driven by Shallipopi, is built on the catchy, repetitive command “relax o.” It contrasts terms like “Eminado” – a slang often associated with Port Harcourt that can imply something is outstanding or hectic – and “Obrigado,” the Portuguese word for “thank you.” This contrast cleverly plays on the dual sensations of a thrilling lifestyle and the gratitude it fosters. The lyrics do not tell a linear story but instead create a mood of confident celebration and advice to remain composed while enjoying life’s gains. Understanding these cultural touchpoints and language blends enhances the experience for listeners engaging with the lyrics, providing context behind the catchy phrases that define the song’s appeal.

Verse 1: Shallipopi
Way, I’ve been spending too much money lately, I’ve been spending on bunda
I’ve been spending on nyash, I’ve been spending on juice
Stacking money like a shooter, way

Pass me the ball, make I shoot am
Stacking money every day
