Not every Nigerian musician can deliver a socially conscious track. “Mayorkun” marks attendance in the list of those who can with his lovely new track “Reason 2 Japa.” This song, though entertaining, addresses the emigration of Nigerians and was written to be relatable to young Nigerians. The single carries introspective lyrics sung with smooth vocals.
The government make everything tire me, I dey reason to japa
From sapa, mo sa pa
Mm-hmm, what be the matter? (Ge ge)
From 1960 to 20 infinity, be dropping the lamba
Dem say tomorrow go better
I don start to dey doubt am
Na to japa, japa, japa, to japa
Japa, japa, japa, go japa
Give me one good reason make I no japa
Mmm, japa, japa, japa, I go japa
Japa, japa, japa, go japa
If everything good, why I go wan japa?
