Omah Lay’s raw and unfiltered emotions are most evident in the opening track, “I’m A Mess”. The gentle strumming of guitar strings creates a tender atmosphere, setting the stage for Omah Lay’s confessions.
While “I’m A Mess” chronicles his personal journey toward self-discovery, it also explores the impact of such instability on those around him. Ultimately, when seeking support from friends yields no results, Omah Lay turns to a new companion, alcohol, and develops a reliance on substances in his quest to escape reality.
Despite the serious themes in the track, the groovy instrumentals produced by Niphkeys maintain an upbeat mood, preventing listeners from becoming too overwhelmed by the self-deprecating lyrics. By the song’s unsettling conclusion, Omah Lay’s emotions remain unresolved. This track resonates deeply with young people dealing with depression, and it’s commendable of Omah Lay to openly address his pain.

It is what it is
Oyaaayi
Oya uuhh
Oyaaayi
Oyayayi
Sometimes I'm happy Sometimes I'm sad
I don't know what's over me
Sometimes I'm good sometimes I'm wild
I don't know what's over me
I don't know what's over me
I'm over thinking everything
At times it feels like nobody
Can understand the way I feel
Cause I'm fucked up totally
I don't know how to keep company
So I've been drinking cognac
I've been drinking too many shots of cognac
One for the belly another for the broken heart
Three for addiction four so I don't go back
Looking for somebody wey fit watch my shoulders
So, I can never be sober
I can never be sooo soo uhh uhh
(I can never be sooo)
Ohh ohh
Yes I did it
How many million I make for a living
Wear my Louis Vuitton
Post for a pic
Let the camera light hit my teeth
You know
Nobody is better than me
Nobody is better than me
I do it differently
Everybody can see
But I don't know what's over me
I'm over thinking everything
At times it feels like nobody
Can understand the way I feel
Cause I am fucked up totally
I don't know how to keep company
So I've been drinking cognac
I've been drinking too many shots of cognac
One for the belly another for the broken heart
Three for addiction four so I don't go back
Looking for somebody wey fit watch my shoulders
So, I can never be sober
(I can never be sober)
