Summary of this Song Lyrics
_________________________________
Awuke Lyrics by Davido ft. YG Marley, is a vibrant Afrobeat-inspired track blending romantic affection with playful frustration. The artist expresses being overwhelmed by his feelings for a love interest who captivates him with her charm, beauty, and attitude. He feels so deeply affected that he jokes about needing to tell his mother, suggesting that her actions make him act irrationally (“kolo”) and wonder if she’s put a spell on him (“you lock me for your konlo”).
Despite the intensity of his emotions, he also hints at wanting to escape the turmoil love brings (“I go run away from love”) because she’s consumed him entirely (“You don finish me with love”). The chorus captures this tug-of-war between passion and overwhelm.
The post-chorus and verses celebrate the girl’s physical allure and confidence. He describes her as fiery and graceful, using Nigerian slang like “whine am jor” (encouraging her to dance or move her hips) and comparing her body to a “chairman” (a symbol of prestige or authority). He’s loyal and completely taken by her.
In the second verse, the tone shifts slightly as he promises to offer a new kind of love — mature, forward-thinking, and freeing. He acknowledges his past and the challenges he’s faced but reassures her of his genuine intentions.
The refrain reinforces her interest in being with him, as she expresses wanting to be his “baby” and “lady,” while the bridge uses the metaphor of sweet Jollof rice (a beloved West African dish) to describe the richness and sweetness of their love. It ends with a plea for more of this intense, intoxicating connection.
Overall, the song is a blend of flirtation, emotional vulnerability, and cultural pride, set against a lively rhythm that matches its passionate and playful lyrics.
