The lyrics for Steel Banglez and Qing Madi’s ‘MOVE (JEJELY)’ center on personal resolve and emotional self-preservation. Qing Madi’s writing articulates a desire to disengage from draining situations and relationships. The opening lines set a tone of disorientation and exhaustion, using the metaphor of carrying one’s body like wages to convey the weight of daily emotional labor. The repeated plea for closure signals a narrative about ending a cycle. The chorus, built around the phrase “Je je jejely,” which translates from Nigerian Pidgin to mean “take it easy” or “carefully,” becomes a mantra for cautious, deliberate movement away from trouble. This clever use of language grounds the song in the artist’s heritage while communicating a relatable sentiment. The verses reject external noise, with clear declarations of not liking certain environments and wanting “out of the picture.” A key lyrical moment involves the assertion of self-love and independence, stating “Nobody loves me like I do.”

This theme of internal strength is a recurrent element in Qing Madi’s broader songwriting, which often balances vulnerability with assertive independence. The second verse employs more direct Pidgin, with lines like “I no wan long, No wan stress” rejecting prolonged drama. The imagery of building a bed from stones others throw presents a visual of resilience, turning negativity into a foundation. The lyric about not keeping oaths with others points to a hardened perspective on trust, likely born from experience. The song avoids a narrative about romantic reconciliation, instead focusing on the protagonist’s decision to prioritize mental peace and maintain composure under pressure. The lyrics are designed for audience engagement, with repetitive, chant-like hooks that work for singalongs and communal participation. The track’s appeal lies in this combination of Afro-fusion rhythm and candid, self-protective lyricism that resonates with a global audience navigating similar feelings of seeking peace and movement away from toxicity.
