  (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!’.
