Download MP3: Wizkid, Asake – Alaye
The high-energy, street-pop closer. Closing the EP with a bang, “Alaye” is a jubilant, party-driven track meant for pure enjoyment.
The title, a Yoruba term for a “powerful man” or “boss,” sets the tone for a song filled with references to Rolexes, Diamonds, and Agbada fashion.
Magicsticks delivers a refined Amapiano rhythm that encourages dancefloor energy from start to finish. Despite its fun nature, the song features a paradoxical obsession with time, as both artists reflect on their journey to the top while “balling like Ronaldo.”
Alaye Lyrics
[Verse 1: Wizkid]
Fàájì l’àwa, fàájì l’àwa, rẹ́pẹ́tẹ́
From the night ’til the morning, elélé
Touch my body, make I touch you sẹlẹ́nsẹ́
Your body elélé (Ọ pọ̀), your body elélé
Dance like say tomorrow no dey, baby oh (No dey, baby oh)
Na the way you move your body, kò ma rẹ’dí o (Kò ma rẹ’dí o)
Agbádá pẹ̀lú diamonds on my neck
Time no dey, wear Patek (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Wizkid]
Aláyé o (Ehn?), aláyé want to ṣàlàyé
Aláyé want to trábàyé (Èkó yìí)
Tọ́’ná bíi ti Faraday
Now, Saka manje (Ehn?)
The party no fit dull, ajé
Para dey for my body o, balling like I’m Ronaldinho
[Interlude]
Come on (Sure)
Come on (Sure)
Come on (Sure)
Come on (Sure)
Come on (Sure)
Come on (Sure)

[Verse 2: Asake]

Big Wizzy na my G, oh

[Chorus: Wizkid]
Aláyé o (Ehn?), aláyé want to ṣàlàyé
Aláyé want to trábàyé (Èkó yìí)
Tọ́’ná bíi ti Faraday
Now, Saka manje (Ehn?)
The party no fit dull, ajé
Para dey for my body o, balling like I’m Ronaldinho
