The lyrics for Wizkid and Asake’s ‘Jogodo’ present a celebratory and confident anthem built on Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, and English phrases. The central term “jogodo” itself is a playful, onomatopoeic Pidgin word suggesting movement, dance, or a stirring of things. Wizkid’s chorus uses this as a directive, framing a night of revelry and attraction. Lines like “Bobo, your body dey pololo” and “your body wanna tongolo” employ colloquial, rhythmic phrasing to compliment a dance partner’s physique, using words that are catchy and inherently melodic, designed for easy call-and-response. The line “Wọn fe pa mi with ogogoro” injects local flavor, referencing the traditional Nigerian distilled spirit.
wizkid, asake real ep
Asake’s verse continues his signature style of rapid-fire, ad-lib-laced Yoruba delivery. He opens with “Baby, baby, jowo, ọmọ Ọlọ́run, fine bobo,” a mix of plea, praise, and prayer that is characteristic of his songwriting. His bars weave between boasts about luxury vehicles (“Maybach-izzy,” “Escaladizzy”) and witty assertions of his skill, proclaiming he will “Murder the beat, mo jẹ bi kilishi” (I chew it like a snack). Wizkid’s solo verse adopts a smoother, more romantic tone, shifting from boasts to lines like “Money on my mind, but na you pass” and “I wanna touch am for love, I dey hold you closely.” This contrast showcases the duo’s dynamic—Asake’s energetic, percussive flow alongside Wizkid’s melodic, seductive phrasing.
For listeners engaging with these lyrics for karaoke or singalongs, the text offers a fun challenge and a cultural exchange.
