“Wetin Man Go Do” is a reflective track from Burna Boy’s 2019 album, African Giant, is built around the Nigerian Pidgin phrase meaning “What is a man to do?”
From the lyrics, the song tackles the harsh economic reality and the constant pressure to survive. It speaks to the inescapable burden of finding money and providing for family in a challenging environment. This blend of vulnerability and unflinching perseverance makes the track a powerful piece of social commentary and a motivational anthem for the working class.
