Tru Mantra; a gospel music duo is out with their new work titled Won Jisoro Mi featuring gospel rapper Daboomsha . In this song, they once again lived up their tag line for years now – light music in a dark world, and their latest single, further accentuates this. After their previous release featuring

The song title makes the message amply clear: There will always be people who wonder about how you’re doing so well while ignoring the factors for success: working hard on your feet and praying even harder on your knees. That the shiny exterior veneer is only possible because of a child-like dependence on God isn’t immediately apparent.

Famed for infusing their culture and heritage into their music, Tru Mantra serves up Nigeria in Won Jisoro Mi – Hausa, English and Yoruba verses laid over a thumping beat and a hook that will stay on replay in your head long after the track has ended.

When Tru Mantra raps “why you come dey prokove/ abi you think say na man dey promote?” allow the words simmer in your mind and then slowly sink in. You now have a nugget of truth that not many others do.

Let that realization compel you to sing along with the chorus all the louder – Won Jisoro Mi!

Verse 2

Tru Mantra with DaBoomsha

Mun zo da sauti a boombox

Na zo da iyali da juna

Ga fili ga doki da rhumba

My mind military

Same O. T

But my style really varies

Been lowkey

but I never vanish

G. O. D

Makes I never vanquished

Toh… Ga ya masu mun shigo

Jemaa ku fito

Na samu sa a da iko

I dey with my people

U know how the thing go

We just dey soar like eagles

Got a new joint these homies are panicking

I carry dia medicine

They holding their breath… holding their chest… enh… Enh

Feeling like mannequins

Haaa!

Verse 3

Please, I can’t stand the monster with green eyes

Oliver, why you dey vex? Shebi you done go twice?

Ah ah, you are skating on thin ice

Haven’t even started / them think say I be done arrive

Hmm, why you come dey provoke /

Abi you think say na man dey promote /

You can drive in your car / Oluwa is riding this donkey

Omo your way far / my solution is turn key

I monkey, ape everything that Baba does

I’m on key, stay true to the cause

Focus on the giver not distracted by the gift

Them run down, me elevate like a lift

Yes, He’s upping my gear like stick shift

Huh, he’s making me top of the list

Scored the hat-trick only by his assist

Hesitate to crave never give in to the beast
