Adekunle Gold’s “Mr. Foolish” is an Afrobeat track that criticizes those who prioritize superficiality, greed, and vanity over knowledge and substance. Featuring an impressive saxophone solo from Seun Kuti, the song uses vivid, humorous imagery to mock foolish behavior and highlights how people often glorify stupidity and fall for hype. The track emphasizes that such foolishness will ultimately get a person into trouble.

[Chorus: Adekunle Gold]
Oun fi na sori orule (You put fire on your roof)
O ni o fe sun lale (You want to sleep at night)
(Mr Foolish)
Oun gun keke ni railway (you’re riding a bicycle on a railway tracks)
Awe sofe pare (My friend you want to die)
(Mr Foolish)
You carry petrol put for nylon come dey smoke
(Mr Foolish)
Fire dey burn you no dey run
You dey take selfie
(Mr Foolish)
[Verse 1: Adekunle Gold]
Were dun wo ko se bi lomo (It’s amusing to watch a mad man)
It’s amusing to watch a mad man
But nobody want mad pikin (But nobody wants mad children)
Won to e on tan candle (They are mocking you and have no clue)
Eni a bata ka fi ratupa (You who should be traded to buy a common light bulb)
O loun aji tona wo loru (Thinks the spotlight should be on you)
No be you I blame (I don’t blame you)
I blame the world for rewarding stupidity
No be you I blame (I don’t blame you)
I blame people for glorifying stupidity
Mr foolish comot for my way
