“King Solomon with concubines/ I don’t wanna waste your time, but I’m not here to teach you lines/ Why didn’t you bring the vibe?/ And like stars in the sky, you take all the shine /You take all the shine/ Why won’t you be mine, babe?/ Iwo lo ja ju/ Iwo gangan lo gbé mi s’ókàn / Awon têmi gan gbadun (Gbadun)/ Make you no go dey slogo, slogo, slogo (Yepa)/ This your body be like weapon (Weapon),” he sings.
Beyond Wizkid, ‘King Coal’ features BNXN, Tiwa Savage, Qing Madi, Projexx, LAZ, Fido, Dera and Ruger, underscoring Wande Coal’s effort to bring together some of the biggest voices across contemporary Afrobeats.
