What is the song Ole by Muraino Aboki ft Zinoleesky all about?
In the song “Ole,” by Muraino Aboki ft Zinoleesky, the artists rebuke laziness and charge people to be up and doing. That is, they should get themselves busy in something lucrative, keep intensifying their hustle, and be resilient, rather than give up and depend heavily on people for money, food; survival generally.
According to them, human beings can’t be depended upon, because they can in the long or short run change, and even wish them evil. Also, if they refuse to work, they would not eat because there would be no money to buy food and other basic needs.
They also encourage people to pray to God not to pass them by while blessing others, and to keep on praying till God answers them just like in their case.
Lastly, they advise people to be cautious of betrayers so that they don’t fall a victim.
