Darey, released a remix to ASIKO LAIYE, alongside Soweto Gospel Choir; with special featuring of YBNL hits maker, Olamide. The song was produced by VTEK. Here is the English Translation, Meaning and Lyrics of the song; that was originally mostly in Yoruba language. Chill on it below.
(LYRICS ENGLISH TRANSLATION): Darey Ft. Olamide- Asiko Laiye
NOTE: ‘Asiko Laiye’ means ‘Time is Life’, from Yoruba Language. It is more of ‘there is time for everything’; we all have our destined time to succeed. We shouldn’t rush things; patience is a virtue. With hard work, prayers, hope, persistence, and lots of patience, ‘wa a gbadun’, which in other words, means- ‘you’ll enjoy!’.

Ahn, heba; ohh, yeah; are you ready?
Are you; are you ready?
