LEGOLAS Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s emphasizing how many times he’s faced struggles, repeating “bare times” to stress that hardship has been a constant in his life.

[Chorus]
He’s reflecting on his past relationships and how women treated him differently because he was poor. He doesn’t blame them because poverty can be harsh and make life difficult. He uses “Sapa” (a Nigerian slang for financial struggle) to describe how being broke affected him. But now, things have changed—he’s successful and powerful, comparing himself to Legolas, a skilled and precise warrior. He calls himself the “king of his hood” and “principal,” meaning he’s a leader in his community. His pain and struggles are behind him, and he’s making his mother proud by providing for her. He also hints at people who used to ignore him but now pretend to support him.

[Verse 1]
He talks about stepping up as the head of his family after his father’s death. He sees himself as both a father figure and a provider for his mother. He mentions “loosening up,” possibly meaning he had to adapt to life’s challenges. He advises saving money for security, knowing that struggles can come anytime. He acknowledges that people give advice, but he questions if following them would have led him to his current success. He compares himself to Jesus, who also faced doubt and skepticism. He name-drops his close friends and supporters and talks about how different places shaped him—Abuja was tough on him, but in Cameroon, people respect him and call him “Big Olembe.” He quickly gained fame in Ghana, being compared to Sarkodie, a top rapper. He ends by saying he’s doing well, and even other people’s girlfriends acknowledge it.

[Chorus]
He again looks back at his past relationships and financial struggles, but now he has overcome them. He repeats how he’s like Legolas—sharp, strong, and unstoppable. He’s no longer in pain, he’s successful, and his mother is proud of him. He highlights that he’s now a leader in his community, and people who ignored him before are now paying attention.

[Verse 2]
He mentions a woman, Isabella, who left him because he was broke and couldn’t meet expectations. He then reflects on how people see him—he realizes he’s the firstborn, carrying huge responsibilities. Others might just be realizing his importance, but he has known it all along.
