(+Lyrics + meaning + translation) Music review: Son of the soil by Yonda

Yonda is a Nigerian artist signed to DMW (Davido Music Worldwide.)

What is the song Son of the Soil by Yonda all about?

Son of the soil means to be raised/work in a particular environment for long. To be a citizen of a country, and possibly never grew out of the soil.

In the song “Son of the soil,” Yonda refuses to be weighed down by anyone. Instead, he said he will learn from whatever is done to him, which will, in turn, bring success/blessings his way.

In essence, if they throw stones at him, rather than pick offense and throw it back on them, he would collect them, and use them to build an empire.

Yonda also talks about his personality. He refers himself to a country child “Son of the soil.” Being the son of the soil, he understands the way of life in Nigeria, how people are fiercely struggling for wealth and power. He also refers to himself as a religious child who can’t be gotten by the enemy because God is strongly protecting him. 

Lastly, he also sings about people receiving mercy from other people only if sent to them by God.

Meaning of some words

To be a lesson means to learn from one’s past mistakes, and you ensure that those mistakes are not repeated. To gain experience from previous actions and know what to do when next you experience the same thing.

To sound like a broken record means to keep repeating something countless times.
