Naira Marley’s “Ayewada” is a vibrant Afrobeats song from his 2022 album God’s Timing’s the Best, known for its catchy Afrorap style and lyrics about resilience, defiance against haters, and enjoying life, often seen in his celebratory Independence Day releases. The song embodies his signature energetic vibe, contrasting critics calling him a “thief” with his successful, “dancing with a goat” lifestyle, inviting his followers (Marlians) to live their best lives.
