Read the lyrics for the “Elumelu” song by Young Jonn. Production by Ragee.
“Elumelu” centers on a single loop. Young Jonn repeats “I see the money coming” eight times in the intro alone. The song does not waste time on a story. It states a fact. The first verse moves into a series of boasts delivered with a shrug: “See my body shining, time is money don’t delay me. Poor man pikin dey see something so anywhere the money dey involve me.” He paints a picture of a man who expects wealth the way others expect the sunrise. The chorus functions as the title drop and the mission statement: “I dey carry my body like Elumelu, show me what God cannot do.”

The second verse offers a wish list in the form of a quick inventory: “Miami, I get ten cars for Miami. I get one latin and kele to wa mi, she wanna carry grand baby for iya mi, iya mi.” The line is playful, almost casual, but the intention is clear. He sees the money coming in foreign. The song ends where it begins, on the same refrain, the same belief that the money is already on its way. For karaoke or a singalong, the chorus is the hook. The official music video includes the lyrics on screen.
