Asake has given fans another song, this time a mellow, ‘meditative’ track – Yoga.
His first music in 2023, the artist opted for a less troublesome tone and lyrics, which aptly makes sense given the title and meaning of the song.
Translation of the lyrics into English is provided along with the song which is about Asake saying he is taking time out to meditate and focus on his life, that despite all the noise, enemies, news and chatter going on around him, no one can or should try and take away that mindset.
Full lyrics of Yoga by Asake is below, with English translation and meaning
