For those that are yet to understand this song beyond the voice, rhythm, beat and visuals , this song was Tubaba's response to Nigerians when they criticized him for not coming out for the occupy Nigeria protest he personally called for back in 2017 before End sars . Look closely from the beginning of the song , - The battered benz car represents Nigeria. - The people in different attire, represents Nigerians and the different ethnic groups . Now, take another look and try to link the entire scene and lyrics of the song together, and you'd notice how he and the people marched from different directions in anger towards the car (Nigeria), but he later paused and bent down only to suddenly realize that a battered nation can't be fixed by violence. After all, we the people, are also not without sin nor blemish hence the chorus, "As you dey there dey claim you holy so" I hope you holy pass Elijah sha', I hope you holy pass them prophets sha! This part of the lyrics also played out in reality When he decided to call off the protest back then but Nigerians accused him of compromising standards and accepting bribe from the politicians to back down ( this was the part in the video where people threw stones at him ) The end of the video where the car exploded, was the main message... He was trying to tell us that eventually if Nigeria explodes due to violence , Na still we all go suffer am but he, will keep walking as a true Nigerian who is already made watching from afar hence, the reason he held the flag up at the end Truly, as predicted at the last scene of the video where he walked away after the car explosion (Nigeria), The End Sars riot eventually happened in reality and he truly kept mute, walked away from the entire noise and never said a word during the entire riot. Pls, don't ask me how i depicted all of these from the song , i'm just a life long Tubaba fan who listens beyond his lyrics and have also noticed that like R.kelly, Tuface hardly talks to the press but responds through his songs.. Listen to his song, 'Rain drops' (from his unstoppable album) - That was his response to critics about he giving birth to too many children from different mothers Listen to "You no holy pass' from his first Face 2 face album - His response to why he was too loyal to kennis music even after people labeled him a slave and advised him to leave Never for once has he granted interviews to clear anything nor does he post on social media to chase clout nor Shalaye about any scandal around his name regardless the pressure... And even if he does grant an interview, TUFACE no go ever talk pim.. Ok.. this is getting too long .. I just needed you guys to see how deep Tuface is. If you've read up to this point, Now go back and watch the video once again with purpose, listen to the lyrics carefully and you will surely see things differently. Peace ✌️
this guy is part of a dying breed, a breed of true musicians who make music to tell stories about life. it's so sad there are so few musicians of his calibre on mainstream. he's a legend, someone I'll be glad to show my children his music I'm happy I'm part of a generation of music lovers that experienced his music.
Blackface, this guy is destined to be great and stop the stupid vituperations that your song made 2baba, he is a blessing from God for Nigeria; he's a living legend.
2 Face Idibia is amongst the few breed of true musicians who do music to tell stories about life and important events, it's a pity that we are entering a generation of musicians who have nothing to sing about but promiscuity, alcohol, drugs and societal nuisance. Some of us parents needs to introduce our children to good music, I like meaningful music
Only artiste who uses what the Bible teaches "he who is without sin should cast the first stone" captured my attention... Tubaba you are blessed God will protect you... nobody holy pass we all have sinned
This spirituality and message in this song is generational. I was literally holding back tears watching this video and listening to the lyrics. This song is deep. Speaks volumes of the current situation of the Nigeria 💔
The lyrics has another meaning very mild but the burning car, cutlass, young children running, gathering on Nigerians from different tribes and professions throwing stones, 2baba carrying flag...subliminal message. 2baba just made a clarion call for Nigerian REVOLUTION. WAKE UP NIGERIANS.
Others thinks they can sing but one song from the incredible 2Baba shots down your entire album. 2Baba, your talent is above human understanding. Thank God for your rain in my time.
2Baba is a man with focus, Check the lyrics, Other artist are busy singing about booty, 2Baba Abeg carry on, we need more artist who sing about life than booty hahaha.
As a Nigerian Youth I understand and I feel it. Now speak for us with your music. A legend does not compete with his children. He rather show example. Now teach them what to do for their mother land. It's not about the money anymore but about the legacy. I feel you 2baba.
Holy Holy Holy,Thumbs up 2baba,Never apologies to any one for Being Black,I am proud to come from Africa,Hit on like if you proud of your skin ,watching from Florence 017
2baba you Will for ever be thé king.i'm Cameroonian and I've always Been a fan.your songs are like good wine gets finer with time..and lyrics simply inspiring
"I dey see as dem look you dey hope for dem daily bread" This jam is laced with super deep emotional lyrics and meanings with powerful visuals to match 😢 GOAT for a reason
All those dislikes are deaf to good music. This is an African sermon. As a fan from Ghana, i share his sentiments. We are fond of pulling down people who are making progress. Jealousy and greed, Africas biggest problem.
This is a beautiful song. One of a kind. 2Baba is in a league of his own. The lyrics are prolific, the melody unmatched, the message unparalleled. God bless this man!
In this video, he represents those people trying to make a positive change or say something about Nigeria but is shot down by peoples opinions and decisions of those in power. The people throwing stones and people who stand and watch represents different reactions of people (evil persists because the good ones are silent). The decorated Chiefs and top men represents those in power who make final decisions. The car represents the situation of Nigeria and the lady whom was shown alone represents a sovereign figure (religion-wise).
Wow! What a chorus. Like this comment if you are in love with this chorus. " As you dey for there dey claim you holy so, I hope you holy pass Elijah sha? Hope you holy pass the prophet sha? " " And as you dey for there dey form Obama so, I hope you dey collect credentials sha? I hope your people go vote you sha? " Much respect to 2face
People have said all kind of things about 2baba some called him talented, some said gifted! well I am saying that God breathe music into 2baba's system!! This is one of the Greatest 2baba songs ever.
I have to watch this video over and over again cause the lyrics of the song is too matured n dope. I cant stop loving #2Baba ur a true #Legend indeed and Africa No.1 music export, long live the KING #2Baba.
When 2baba gets into that "reggae mode" , he's always spitting mad lyrics. As in MAD LYRICS. For real, I can't believe people slept on this song. This song is mad.
Powerful message. Strong visuals. TuBaba still true to his game. Felt nostalgic listening to this song. Reminds me of his old powerful songs: 'One Love', 'E be like say', etc.
Old Nigeria will be gone A new Nigeria is coming Look at him wearing white with a clean flag coming out from a burning fire. This is prophetic Lyrical god @2baba
This song is an artistic masterpiece. It tells an amazing story with the brutalized car that hasn't moved since 1960. Showing the many ways we have hurt (stabbed in entirety) Nigeria, to the tribes all just looking for who to condemn and throw stone at. The different profession all just looking and evil. It shows us killing our young and the helpless and it's helplessness. The best part though is the HOPE. When the car - the symbol of Nigeria -finally burns down, he emerges in white and triumphant. Showing that the old will die off and the new will triumph. Like I said, it's an artistic masterpiece.
Depends on what you know. The Benz was Blackface's ride which they use together as Plantashun Boys. Now, this single piece of info should drastically change your narrative.
2BABA,ALL SABOTUERS AGAINST I.P.O.B.MAZI NNAMDI.O.KANU MOST BE PUT,TO SHAME BY THE GRACE OF CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA IN JESUS CHRIST NAME KEEP ON BRODA 2BABA MORE WISDOM,MAN
Great song, Great video.The car represent Nigeria in a dilapidated state since 1960 and everyone including the priest, imam, politicians,lawyers, police, army,school children and the regular man on the street has contributed to what Nigeria is today. If we continue to walk through this path someday the country will be on fire

2baba will always be 2baba. In the league of his own, no one compares to him in the sphere of Nigerian music industry. Always passing a message. I just love this Annie husband like kilode.
I love the message, just see as the dark side take over everyone that cast a stone. There's none without sin but trying to cover your sins is the beginning to destruction
This guy is something else... Where and how does he gets his musical inspirations from...This is the Michael Jackson of Africa. The Best and the number One of all African musician...I will not lie ohh, i luv dis guy... i wish to meet him someday.
2Baba, words alone can't describe you now all I can say is that ur the man #LEGEND no time to be singing about booty money etc ur just too much cos ur music there is too much sauce and juice in it.
Mehn when this man here decides to voice you just don't have a choice but to listen and hear the meanings. That's why you're a legend. Bless up bless up. May Jah continue to elevate you and your stream of inspiration continue to flow.
this is why i love beautiful pieces like this from this living legend. Apart from being a lovely tune that is pleasing to the ears, it also carries a strong message that resonates with the hearts of many Nigerians yearning for a change in our fortunes as well as being a narrative to ignite conversions around how things have really become so terrible. God bless you 2baba
thanks for singing this expensive son, it's really means a lot to me, especially my country Nigeria corruption, also for our leadership, the first black and white cloth you put on, with the people that throwing stone on you, even all the people with Black eyes and the burning car, May God help Nigeria
