“Eko” is a heartfelt, melodic ode to Lagos, capturing the city’s unique mix of chaos and hope. The song uses a slightly slower Afrobeats rhythm than the opener, giving FOLA space to paint a picture with his words. In the lyrics, FOLA talks about the energy, the grind, and the loyalty required to survive in Nigeria’s biggest city. Eko feels personal and sincere. This track serves as the emotional center of the Catharsis album, proving FOLA is deeply connected to his roots.
[Intro]
I’m not even about to start with the fact that as a twenty-four year old guy, you did not know what the fuck you wanted to do with your life
(Pay attention)
[Verse 1]
Oje lọ n lo, too picky meenie minie mo (Oh-oh)
Ṣòkòtò wọn fo, I’m gon’ get wetin I need o, yeah (I need o)
L'ọla inu kan, inu kan, I kneel down and I look up
Mo jókòó si bẹ yẹn mo lúgọ, paparazzi wọn fe ya picture
[Pre-Chorus]
Eko lo n pe'bi, mele ja ni mo ṣe n lo temi
As I dey chase the moolah, ba n gbe wa'le mi
Ki ire ona wamiri, 'when e go sup?' nse lo ma n bimi
No be original you go rock, if you be poor man pikin
[Chorus]
Go home or go harder
Ko shine bright like no other
Ooh, eni ba ma lo mo ah
And I’ve been working pass my co-worker, ona kan o mà kó lo w'ọjà
Pulling heavywеight like Mayweather, wahala o
Go homе or go harder
Ko shine bright like no other
Ooh, eni ba ma lo mo ah
And I’ve been working pass my co-worker, ona kan o má kó lo w'ọjà
So I hawk my shit like cold water (Like cold water)
[Verse 2]
Jo má gbé fo mi, o r'ọkàn mi, ah
F'iṣo e ṣo mi, ah
Work hard, ọmọ no dulling, ah (Eko)
And you said, “Surely, mo ma wo store ni ah”
O si ti f'ọ́wọ́ tọ mi, a de jo ma lo London ni ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Eko lo n pe'bi, mele ja ni mo ṣe n lo temi
As I dey chase the moolah, ba n gbe wa'le mi
Ki ire ona wamiri, 'when e go sup?' nse lo ma n bimi
No be original you go rock, if you be poor man pikin
[Chorus]
Go home or go harder
Ko shine bright like no other
Ooh, eni ba ma lo mo ah
And I’ve been working pass my co-worker, ona kan o mà kó lo w'ọjà
Pulling heavyweight like Mayweather, wahala o
Go home or go harder
Ko shine bright like no other
Ooh, eni ba ma lo mo ah
And I’ve been working pass my co-worker, ona kan o má kó lo w'ọjà
So I hawk my shit like cold water
