Onye N’ekwu is executed in quintessential Tru Mantra style with Henrisoul’s sublime delivery on the hook.
The song title roughly translates as “Who is speaking?” and asks the listener a number of potent questions. Does the voice of external influence shape your desires and cause you to succumb to pressure? Or does your perspective emanate from a Godly worldview?
Tru Mantra’s answer is clear and by the end of the song, doubt has given way to exhilaration and an admission that “Everythin na from the Fada”.
You will move to the beat, sing along to the hook, and hum the melody of this song but most of all, it will invigorate you with every listen.
Now tell me, Onye N’ekwu?
LYRICS
Tru Mantra’s Onye N’ekwu
Pre-Chorus
Onye nekwu, na wetin you dey do eh
Onye nekwu, na wetin dey do you eh
Onye nekwu, why you dey run your mouth o
Onye nekwu, tell me wetin you dey yarn
Chorus
Everything na from the father
E go give you all you wanna
Oya sare k’owa surrender
But you need igbala, oya call am
Everything na from the father
E go give you all you wanna
Oya sare k’owa surrender
But you need igbala, call am
Verse 1
True prosperity from God of eternity
True prosperity from God of humanity
Because of Bugatti, you forget eternity
Because of Versace, you forget eternity
Wetin dey make you dey do like this,
You dey do like this, you dey do like that
Wetin dey make you dey run like this,
You dey run like this, you dey run like that
Jesus is the ladder,
Leading to the Father
Follow the true ladder wey go lead you to the Father ehen
Verse 2
Your view of the problem is flawed
We fight with the penned not the sword
The strategy Logos, the tactic is Rhema
The malady wilts at the word
Don’t confuse the evidence
Don’t misconstrue the prevalence
The truth must still take precedence
This truth weighs more than common sense
If I said it once I said it twice
No need to run like three blind mice
The stuff around is pouring in
The dam is burst, it’s flooding in
But wait, but wait, I’m feeling a change in the state
It feels so good I can’t relate
I have no need to compensate my faith
Vamp
Obu onye nekwu o
Ibu onye, obu onye nekwu
If you need Igbala call am
