'Lagege', fully written as 'ni Agége', means 'at Agége'. If you live in Lagos, you must know the place called Agége. The chorus is a play/twist on the Yoruba children folk song, 'Aeroplane ód'àbọ̀' (Goodbye, Aeroplane). As children, we sang the song whenever an aeroplane flew by. The second verse of the folk song, however, provides some comic relief: "Mo réèmò l'ágége: ajá w'ẹ̀wù, órósọ; ó faa báàgì s'áápá kan. Gbamúgbamù jigíjigì". This translates to "I saw strange sight at Agége: a dog wore a shirt and tied a wrapper; it even carried a bag on one hand. What a cause for serious laughter!". This song by Barry Jhay highlights some 'strange sights' in modern Nigerian society too. For example, he mentions mindboggling and funny issues, like a devout congregant smoking weed, a priest who loves a bribe, a mermaid that fornicates, a supposedly celibate church father that (secretly) screams "hold me tight", someone who sends fake alerts to the church pretending to pay tithe etc. It's a masterful composition, a nod to Yoruba folklore and a cautionary tale for today's so-called modern people to 'get a grip', with the bridge: 'Chameleon dey waka small small, e dey die - not to talk of frog wey dey up and down', that is, 'A chameleon walks cautiously, yet it dies. What chance has a frog that jumps up and down?'. That's the translation of a Yoruba proverb that teaches caution and modesty/ discourages excessiveness and brazen conduct.
He has better control, amazing breath ,sang in head song, and you can hear every word,his lower registers is insane. Some parts were very shaking when he was transitioning from the chorus to the second verse.
I'm from the Gambia, but, I love Nigeria so much I listen to afrobeats and it's my genre I love it Barryjhay is super talented, and , i wish him more heights in the music industry Much love🙏🏾🐐
honestly the producer of the album version should never work with Barry Jhay again, he literally hid the magic of this man's voice. This needs to be released as it's own version. IT is amazing

This is my first comment here , the lyrics, the lines, the highness of vibes, the depths of meaning, the Situation of facts, the reality of whole, and the youthful gesture of this dude is overrated. Only those who are deep and channel through Mother Nature would understand the meaning of this. Song 🎵 lit 🔥 asf. Fly something like that…..📌 Fake transfer for church ⛪️ titles 😃😅, I swear many of us don do am for church here in CHICAGO, but you see that Mammy-Water wey dey fornicate enh, na that one off me 🤣😀
@@habib100586 Verses doesn’t have to be matched sometimes, MUSIC is an ART 🖼 you sing what you feel to be reality. All the lines in each verses matches our daily reality and that’s what matters
What reality is that? "Baba God wetin dey ejaculate?" That sounds like a desperate attempt to rhyme though. I don't dislike the song, just a fan of structured lyrics
The groove of the song is so fucking sick..This guy is so good,far better than alot of our so called star,this is a live performance and so fucking smooth and has a very tight groove..
