Lol I know that" No woman, no cry" is Bob Marley's song, it's one of his most recognizable pieces. But " Joy" is Wizkid's song and it's pretty autobiographical actually.
I woke up this morning 05/05/2023 and the first thing that came into my head was this song😢. I didn’t hesitate but to go back and download it and also come hear to watch this blossom performance by my all time fav Star Boy Big Wiz❤❤❤. I’m filled with so much JOY today🙏🏽
"I remember when we used to play in ojuelegba in surulere" (my hood in Lagos). God bless wizkid. God bless the great Bob Marley and Fela Kuti the two musicians that influenced wizkid.
[Verse 1] Oh nananana Eh eh In the early 90s That was the beginning Mama had me She was definitely smiling Finally a boy She was very very happy She prayed for those with the love of her life eh She called me grace She called me blessing She looked into my eyes Called me love of her life I wish i could go back and feel what she felt But she goes on her knees And tell God what she felt eh [Chorus] Joy nothing but joy Every other day she feels nothing but joy Showers of blessings God blessed her plenty Thank God for blessing Love of my life eh Joy nothing but joy Every other day she feels nothing but joy We didn't have much She loved me still When she thank God for blessing love of my life eh [Post-Chorus] When I was a little boy Mama told me My boy chase your dreams And keep believing And the sky will be your beginning When I was a little boy Mama told me My boy chase your dreams And keep believing And your peak will be your beginning When I was a little boy Mama told me Love will set you free My boy please believe it Cos this love is for real When I was a little boy Mama told me My boy chase your dreams And keep believing And the love will set you free Yeah yeah [Verse 2] One time for my people wey sabi Wey dey feel Wizzy music Wey dey buy my CD I say two times for the people wey sabi Wey dey buy all the tickets Wey dey come for my shows I say three times for the people wey sabi Wey dey play my music Wey dey dance azonto I say four times for my people wey sabi Wey dey support Wizzy Wey dey pray for me [Chorus] I say joy nothing but Joy Every other day you see nothing but joy I pray God bless you Bless your family Wish you what you wish me God bless my people Joy nothing but Joy Every other day you see nothing but joy I pray God bless you Bless all your family Wish you what you wish me God bless my people [Post-Chorus] When I was a little boy Mama told me My boy chase your dreams And keep believing And the sky will be your beginning When I was a little boy Mama told me My boy chase your dreams And keep believing And your peak will be your beginning When I was a little boy Mama told me Love will set you free My boy please believe it Cos this love is for real When I was a little boy Mama told me My boy chase your dreams And keep believing And the love will set you free Yeah yeah
This was a freestyle. A freestyle !!! Off the top of his head, never written down before or whatever. Just going off straight out of his dome. How talented is wizkid
***** boom? more like boomerang right back at your face. The band played the song "no woman no cry" and he freestyled lyrics to it. Guess you've never seen a talented wordsmith freestyle to a beat before. They play the beat and the lyricist goes off the dome and lays words to the beats. That is what is called a freestyle. The beat itself has nothing to do with it. Next time, do some research before you decide to troll comments
It's freestyle pple. Of course Wikid is no comparison to the Great Bob Marley. But even legends have to start somewhere! Well done Wizzy, u made it strictly ur own. #Yaga 😘
Big Wiz was same class with me in the year 2000 at mustard montessori nursery and primary school in Ajoke Okunsoya street, Ago, Lagos State. We were just 3 boys in primary 3 class then me Chigozie Ifeanyi Edum, Segun Adeniran and Mayowa Balogun who is now Wizkid. I could also remember Shade Agbaje, Uchenna Onuoha the very fair girl i was crushing on back then as a kid 😅. These were my friends then. Before we relocated to Wilma Crescent. I wish to link up with any of you some day, I will be be very happy... I wish Wiz can recall I'll be so happy to meet him. It will be a life changing for me.
Its only idiots that dont appreciate people's efforts. Then they ask themselves why they don't find prosperity in their own endeavors. How will you when you are hating on a young successful guy like Wiz? And it was a freestyl - a beautiful one. One love WizKid
Rest in peace to WizKid’s mom man this song hits different everytime I listen to it man 😔. The lyrics man hmmm. I pray that Wiz has peace in his heart to know that they will meet again in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏽
awwww... sooooo lovely. thumbs up Wizkid. I was feeling so emotional watching this.. seeing how talented we nigerians are and seeing how rich our country is and seeing the irony and paradox of reality.. how I wish dudes in the government could just see with correct glasses of true patriotism and improve Nigeria for real like other countries have and still are like Dubai, singapore, malaysia. It is well my people.. we just have to keep on keeping on.
Wizkid and Davido are the two primary reasons back in 2013 that I am now reunited with my aged African lineage and so will my children! They will know much earlier than I 💛💛💛 proud☺️🤗
I came back after few years to listen to this again and guess what, I’ve got tears rolling down my cheek feeling so emotional as I’m feeling every bit of the drummer’s hit and strings... WizLion is a born talent
Let me be realistic here . Am a fan of Davido but WizKid is good in live band than Davido . WizKid knows how to control his voice texture and his good in freestyle that is how to know a singer .
Nobody in this world was debating it before so it makes no sense to even talk about it. Wiz is not on same level as Davido. Wiz is a musician musician.
It always sound fresh in my ears anytime I hear this track. I don’t cry oo buh tears drop from my eyes. Am inspired. Ghanaians love ya great music and ya generosity #papasutd
I remember 6 years ago I could afford a phone but I still try to watch frm someone phone but today I can’t watch wit my phone I believe you bro StarBoy my no1 act u are a king
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 omg I only just came across this . Just when I thought Iv watched it all.. so beautiful this jam .. I came from Twitter where ignoramus are talking as if wiz only just started using live band!!
Brilliant! Oh my, oh my! This is true Joy! Love Wiz to bits no matter what! He’s my number #1 African artist anyday. He just has that refined talent, and can take this to a deeper level.
This is just free style people, without no voice editing or autotune. Its gud n thts how u differentiate btw people tht gat real voice n people without.
