Simi brings a message of hope for people who face frustrations in life with “Aimasiko,” a remake of a classic from juju musician, “Ebenezer Obey.” The song title is a Yoruba word, which means “ignorance of the right time”. It is a rich, highlife-inspired track which is culturally grounded.

You dey work oooo, you dey pray-ay
You dey push oooo, everyday-ay
You dey try oooo, no be play-ay
But your hustle, never pay-ay
And you think say God e nor dey for your side
And you want to find another way to prosper
You think say God e nor just get your time
Abi o ti gbagbe ileri t'Oluwa se
Aimasiko lo'n damu ẹ̀dá o

You dey wait for your lover, you want to marry
You dey vex eooo, time don dey go (you say why me o?)
You dey ask eooo, for bouncing baby
You say father lease nor forget eooo (blessing follow me o)
