Organise, first released in September 2022, is one of twelve songs from his debut album Mr. Money with The Vibe.
The song is referencing words of wisdom, with Asake saying be “organise”, and choose this over being overwise or smart. This is because (at least according to the song) being too smart can turn into foolishness, so instead choose to be organised.
Organise is sang with a mix of English, street slang pidgin English and Yoruba. See full lyrics with its translation below.
