There are no dancers twerking. There is only the raw transfer of wisdom from the old to the young. That visual, combined with the audio, solidifies the song as a classic.

However, Somval brings a modern grit to it.

Somval sings about the futility of human scheming. In one poignant verse, translated loosely: “The man who climbs the throne through lies will wake up as a slave in the morning.” This is a direct nod to the traditional Igbo belief that kingship (Eze) is a divine mandate, not a political acquisition.
