I made an error with the aspect ratio of the video while producing it (I don’t know how), but I corrected it after already uploading it to 3speak.tv. So I had to use YouTube…
It is AFRITUNES WEEK 22, and we have another guitar cover from Olujay again, after such a very looooong time. Apparently, I got so used to writing that I just never really made guitar videos after the last one. But now, the narrative may be changing...
For this week's edition, I made a guitar cover of the very popular song in my country, It's Plenty by Burna Boy. "It's plenty" is slang in Nigeria that I am not sure how to describe, but my pals and I just use it to jestfully celebrate each other. And the song translates to celebrating and enjoying life, even with the little that one may seem to have.
I tried not to do plenty things in this song, as I love the vibes it gives, but I made sure to enjoy myself while playing it. I trust you too should enjoy it.
𝕃𝕪ℝ𝕀𝕔𝕤
{Chorus}
Gbe mi trabaye,
make you no dey shalaye
I don’t want nobody to
give my matter k-leg
For this life I dey,
I want to be celebrated
Don’t wanna waste my days
I want to spend them on enjoyment
It’s plenty oh-aah, order Hennessy, oh-ah
Won ni won wa mi o, ah-ah-ah-ah
Everyday party, ah
{Verse 1}
As I dey knack the gbedu
Start to dey move, start to dey move
Like you smoke kalaku
Just dey bounce with the groove, no carry do
If you lose guard, dem go bounce with your boo
I can vouch for my crew, I’m telling you
Them too dey do, lifestyle of a crook
Make you dance, no dey look
Dem go dey look, dem go dey look
Then say if it’s not enough
If I do 99 good, e go remain one
I don’t know how to show you
my love without fucking up
But I can buy you a new AP straight from A Jewellers
{Chorus}
Gbe mi trabaye, make you no dey shalaye
I don’t want nobody to give my matter k-leg
For this life I dey, I want to be celebrated
Don’t wanna waste my days
I want to spend them on enjoyment
It’s plenty oh-aah, order Hennessy, oh-aah
Won ni won wa mi o, ah-ah-ah-ah
Everyday party, ah
{Verse 2}
Do me like I take Tramadol
Don’t want to feel nothing at all (Okay)
Be like Ojuju Calabar
Give me moral like I be bouncer
Mon para gan, take me high,
I don’t want to land, oh
Up till now I don’t understand why
No matter what I do, it’s not enough
If I do 99 good, e go remain one
I don’t know how to show
you my love without fucking up
Wahali I’m faded, just dey shake head
Forget di label
{Chorus}
Gbe mi trabaye, make you no dey shalaye (Shalaye)
I don’t want nobody to give my matter k-leg
(Give my matter k-leg)
For this life I dey, I want to be celebrated
Don’t wanna waste my days
I want to spend them on enjoyment
{Outro}
Gbe mi trabaye, make you no dey shalaye
I don’t want nobody to give my matter k-leg
(Give my matter k-leg)
For this life I dey, I want to be celebrated
Don’t wanna waste my days
I want to spend them on enjoyment
It’s plenty oh-aah, order Hennessy, oh-ah
Won ni won wa mi o, ah-ah-ah-ah
Everyday party, ah

Hi there Olujay! :) You are FABULOUS at playig !!!! (hahaha dom't mimd me... you see i still have the M key to use hahahahaha
Seriously this music was so emjoyable... it was so relaximg to listem to - i imagimed that i was at a little cafe at the oceam ad feelimg the breeze ad drimkig a lovely cocktail! hehehehehehe
you're too good!!!! LOl
I'm here for DreemPort also - for Hive challemges, it is mot really emforced. They allow you to used lyrics like this. hehehe But for DreemPort - we have to be very careful about what we share out. Lyrics are copyrighted material amd if you use a small portiom of the lyrics to explaim im your owm paragraphs about why they're importamt to you amd thimgs like this.... them it's acceptable. because it's like usimg a quote from am author :)
but whem you use the whole somg im your post - & them you get paid for this post... see the issue? hehe
So - for mext time, it's best to omly use a bit of lyrics IF you wamt to submit to DreemPort :) If its om Hive? I thimk some of the music commumities are less strict about this :)
Hope that helps -if you have questioms - feel free to drop imto the discord amd tag me - or just commemt here amd tag me too hehehehehe
but whatever you do -keep playimg music like this!!! hehehe
Hiiii, @dreemsteem.
I am so glad to see that you listened to my playing and even liked it. Man like me be blushing🤣
And about the lyrics, I honestly never looked at it that way.
I am very keen on copyright infringement and plagiarism, but I guess we learn everyday.
I so love the way you correct and enlighten with love. I definitely have learned, especially with the way you have broken it down, and I now know much better. So next time, I will do better.
Thank you again.
I so appreciate that you heard the love behind my correction!!!! I always try to come alongside people with kindness ...though I'm not perfect hahaha
it anyone can pull the Tiger out of me...it's a continually abusive person. lol. then they will feel a taste of my fangs... lolol
but people like you make it so easy to help!!! because so many people here genuinely don't know and are happy to do better to make us all better!!!
I love your willingness to grow! 🤗
Wow. This is so nice boss.
Later you will be wyning me....lol
I love your tone so sweet and neat.
Come and show me way daddy
Haha...I do not whine you bro.
No be your way I dey follow? Na you be guitar man for Hive.
Excellent work @olujay. My younger brother also plays electric guitar, of course another genre. He likes rock and was even in a band. He has also managed to work composing music for some groups although it is not his main activity. It was very good, he does it very well 😎😉.
I am sure your younger brother is very cool. People that play guitars are always so cool. 😁😁
Is your brother here on Hive too?
Thankh you for checking my video out too.
Yes, you're right, my brother is really cool, but no, he's not on Hive, maybe at some point I'll show you a cover of his. 😁
Oh really? I sure would love to see a cover of your brother's. I already love your food in your country, I might as well love the music as well.
As sweet as this guitar is what is in my head is the time you spent trying to learn all of this. The time you used to score this song.
This is super sweet bro! I wonder when I go sabi play like you. When! What way sir?
Omoo, you know how making guitar covers can be na. The stress no be small. Hopefully, I will be doing more so I get used to it.
Omoo, be like na me go play everything tomorrow. I wan faint today. The things wey I no sabi too plenty.😂 God go help me. I really hope you come around soon. So I can keep learning from you, no caps.
My guy has missed me oh! Brother enjoy oh. But seriously, you are playing thanksgiving praise?
If Gcaps does not show up, I guess so. He rehearsed with them on Friday. But I also rehearsed with them today, so I am okay to go.
I trust you! If Gcaps no come. You bad ass Gcaps. You go kill am. Olujay no be all these yeyé Nigerian guitarist
Haha...thanks man.
Ah!!! Too bad I did not enjoy it 😢. I don't like the song and I don't like your face 😜.
Please come let me teach you oo, I'm so willing to learn, I mean teach you.
I just want to see your face right now, hehehe. I so much love everything I said I don't, I've missed seeing a video from you 🌺🤭🤭🤭🤭😊😊😊🌹🌹🌹😍😍😍😍🌺🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️🌺🌺❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💙💙💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛🧡🧡🧡🧡❤️💗💗.
This is my first time hearing this song and you just made me fall in love with it, I think I will have to go and download it but that's when I do night sub, lol.
Let me first tag @merit.ahama. I should have tagged her in the video, as she has been expecting it from me for so long now.
I am very happy that you do not like the song, and my face.😂😁
But I know you were just whining.
See as big man like me dey blush sha.
I want to be doing more videos from now. It is just that for me, videos seem to be way harder to do than writing. But I will keep trying.
Oya night have reach o. Make sure to download my cover together with it.
Thank you for always rooting for me, mama.
You and Merit, what is going on o?? I have been checking you guys pages for your fiction stories. My mind dey so empty😂😂
I was hoping to see you guys own since so I can take cues from it. But e be like I dey on my own like this.

Don't worry you will get yours done before the time, I trust you 😉❤️.
Shebi you ar on Discord na. Do you use it often?
I can testify to that 😂😂
I will never take storytellers for granted again.
Yes, but often.
Better not oo, it's not easy to form story oo 😂😂.
But often? Or not often?
Abeg don't mind me, not often 🙈.
When you're done blushing, go and submit that wonderful story you've written lemme read... Mine is nothing to write home about, I don't want to think too much about it, I've tried my best 😆😅
Alright, back to your video, lemme go and watch and hopefully smile all the stress away 😊
See ehn, I was finding it really really challenging to come up with something. I know it is late to post, but I will still do share it. Better late than never.
How are you today?
No problem, just share it 😊
I'm good and you?
Very very stressed this evening. I had a long day at rehearsal today. And now, I am responding to a truck load of comments. I have been less active for a while now.
Even I have been less active, had to go out today 😒
Muy muy hermosa🔥🥰. First time I'm actually listening to this song and it's entering my playlist ✅. You play so well, I totally enjoyed this😊❤
Hey, @sekani the musician.
I am actually suprised you are just hearing it for the first time. I do not listen to this type of music often, but it is practically everywhere I go.
I am glad you found it beautiful. Thank you...
Boss, if I should have half your guitar skills lasan, my shoulder pad will become higher than Burj Khalifa.
Your performance was very nice. I loved all the scales and the effect.
But why is the aspect ratio that small? Or is it my phone?
Hahaha...higher than Burj Khalifa??😂😂
Thank you, my man.
For the aspect ratio issue, I have no idea how that happened. But I have replaced it with a YouTube format to adjust that. Thanks for notifying.
Yes o. With the little tonic solfa and harmonic scales I know, I walk around with my shoulders raised high. The moment I learn chords lasan, I'll become a professional guitarist and start going to shows, even if they don't invite me.
😂😂
Thanks for these amazing comments, brother.
Wow!! This is great, it’s like talking with an electric guitar
😂
That is another way to put it. Thanks man.
Smooth🎶✨🤍
Thanks man...
