To me, this is the best song Naeto C ever put his voice on. As much as I love his other works, they all pale in Comparison to this. I believe it's the "Asa Factor" or how else do I describe it.
He did something he has never done on any of his songs. The Lyrics were educational, Positive, Moral and Inspirational.
But each time Asa takes her part, Most especially the bridge, the feeling is simply "Out of this World."
First time I listened to this song, I felt goose-bumps (This hardly happens to me) That was how powerful and enchanting it was, I had to listen to it for the rest of the day.
Practically speaking, I actually put it on replay for over 12 Hours in one day. Take a few minutes to listen to it, you may learn a lesson or two from it (I learned to value everyone I love.)
Feel free to share with us what you learned from the song.
LYRICS:
Naeto C
All white kaftan like the stripe on a tom tom
See how we got famous where we come from
walahi it's from teaspoons to lump sums - What a conundrum!
All I did was make plans like when ABC bus comes
Now they saying tread softly with caution
You attract the wrong people when they know about your fortune
I’m worried maybe that will be my portion.
I don’t need a new cut to feel level headed
My experience has justified where I’m headed
So when they talk about the things that I do wrong
I just pat them on the back like a new born
Cos that’s the rumor starts to spread like a bed sheet
I’m calculating money on excel spread sheets.
I’m too blessed to be stressed
So I’m giving out some love cos I'm getting it in excess
Now that you could respect.
Hook
It’s moving over me
It’s taking over me
And I’m feeling my way up now.
When heaven puts a hand on me
Come and share my blessings.
Naeto C
Firstst day of the year
my best-friend died in a car crash.
Couple of months before that, I survived in a car crash.
Now that's the irony of life
She was good enough to be a wife
I only cry once a year but that year, I cried thrice.
So dear friend, let me give you an advice
Keep your loved ones close cos they won't live twice
I should have told her how I felt but I couldn't be precise.
I didn't reply her emails even though she broke down her feelings in detail.
I was busy dealing with all sorts of female
Now it's hard for me to even open up my g.mail
I wish she had the same luck as me
but that's what i couldn't give unluckily.
And so I pray that my blessings extend
to the rest of my family and friends.
Hook
It’s moving over me
It’s taking over me
And I’m feeling my way up now.
When heaven puts a hand on me
Come and share my blessings.
Asa
Gbogbo ohun tan fe
...iyen lan fe f'omode ati awon agba
Eh Iya mi
Ireti mi
Koni dofo
Koni daru
Lai
I'm moving on
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine (let it shine)
Hook
It’s moving over me
It’s taking over me
And I’m feeling my way up now.
When heaven puts a hand on me
Come and share my blessings.
la la la la la la
yes Boss!
