Adekunle Gold’s “Ire (Remix),” featuring Jacob Banks, is a reinterpretation of the original hit from his “About 30” album. The artists sing about chasing external validation and success, only to realize that true fulfillment was “already my own.” Banks’ verse is soulful and rich sentimentally. The song ultimately emphasizes that the grass is greener “when you water the ground.”
[Verse 1: Adekunle Gold]
The grass is greener on the other side
That’s what I thought before I took the ride
I burned my bridges so I’d never look back
[Pre-Chorus: Adekunle Gold]
But, If I had known the life I was searching for
Was looking me right in the eye, oh
If I had known the life I was searching for
Was already my own
[Chorus: Adekunle Gold]
Ire nbe ni le
Ire ayo
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire ayo onpe mi o
O ni kin maabo
O ni kin maabo ni’le
[Verse 2: Jacob Banks]
Life is better on the other side
That’s what I thought before I took the flight
I realize the stars I’ve be racing
Only brings me back to you
Oh I didn’t know
This freedom I’ve been chasing
Is mine alone to lose
[Pre-Chorus: Jacob Banks]
Well if I had known this life I was searching for
Was looking me right in the eye, right in the eye
If I had known this life I was searching for
Was already my own
[Chorus: Adekunle Gold]
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire ayo onpe mi o
O ni kin maabo
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire ayo onpe mi o
O ni kin maabo
It's calling out to be
It's calling out to be
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire ayo onpe mi o
O ni kin maabo
Ire Ire Ire
Ire Ire ayo onpe mi o
O ni kin maabo
O ni kin maabo ni’le
