about

Laced with acoustic guitar licks and jazzy piano melodies with afrobeats/amanpiano sounds weaving in and out over Tosinger's heartwarming soulful vocals. The song opens up with a chant acknowledging God in Yoruba.

Suuru which means Patience in Yoruba contains lyrics of
Yoruba proverbs that speak to the value of Patience
admonishing the listener to be patient with their life's journey
AND
and sending a word to Africa and her people to be patient towards taking take her place in the global sphere of things.

Lyrics and vocals - Tosinger
Produced by Solo's Beat

lyrics

Intro
Alagbara ti gb'omo re l'owo ofin
Mo wa juba re
Baba mi o, Olorun agbaye
Mo wa se iba, iba iba iba
Mo wa juba, mo wa juba
Olodumare

Verse 1
I was, deep down in the valley low
Nowhere to call my own
Crying in the dark of night
Looking for the light
Just let it go
Can't do it all alone
I'll make your burden light
At the river and make it right
I keep on tossing and turning
Through trials and tribulations
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
Tick tock, don't rush
Te ba ti de be o, ke ma ki won

Chorus
Suuru, o l'opin, o l'opin
Suuru, l'oogun aye, aye
Rome wasn't built in a day
Africa take your rightful place
Suuru, Surulere

Verse 2
Time don come to take our place
Make di old ones go away
And di young ones start di race
Na dem go run and win di race
Corrupted leaders go away,
Dis no be time for us to play
Together we go rise,
Suru-Lere
I keep on tossing and turning
Through trials and tribulations
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
Tick tock, don't rush
Te ba ti de be o, ke ma ki won
