Hive open mic community , we all know that, it's week 172 of the community, and I am so glad to bring the family song of mine to this wonderful community, which is in line with the theme of the week, I am glad to take the challenge of singing another style of music which is afrobeat style.
I actually looked for a family song to sing for this week, but all I could found is this incredible song titled “Family” a song by Bayanni, he is a new artist signed to mavins record, a music record company owned by a popular producer /singer called Don jazzy, he is a well-known person in Nigeria at large, and I think he is popular too worldwide.
Why I decided to choose this song by Bayanni
I found the song meaningful , the song carries plenty of meanings, it talks about taking someone's hustle very seriously so that the family will not suffer or beg to survive, there are lots of messages I got from it, it even talks about how you should care about what people say while you on your hustling ground, it simply says don't be ashamed of your hustle, no matter what people around you says, it says you have to keep on moving, no matter what happens.
I found the song motivating and inspiring too.
The song was sung in the Yoruba dialect. I will be writing out the lyrics and the meaning to relate well with the song.
Thank you for reading my post.
This is the lyrics of the song and the link to where I copied it from.
