Mr Eazi - Exit (feat. Soweto Gospel Choir) [Official Music Video]

“Exit” is the final track on The Evil Genius but, in many ways, it is the centerpiece of Mr Eazi's long-awaited project. Conceived during a period of inner turmoil and strife, it’s one of the Nigerian singer’s most personal and inward-looking songs to date, but also one of his most triumphant.
Among the song’s memorable lines is one which Mr Eazi has adopted as his daily mantra: Thank you God for keeping things running smoothly. “When I wrote this song, I was disappointed in everything —the music business, feeling betrayed by my friends," Mr Eazi says. "But, in the midst of feeling disappointed, I was thankful.”
The song is accompanied by an appropriately epic video, shot by director Allison Swank Owen, which features Mr Eazi and Soweto Gospel Choir performing the song high atop the picturesque mountaintop setting of The Drakensberg, in South Africa.

Lyrics

Yeah yeah
I never had to count my blessings but these days I do
Originally I no dey find trouble but these days I do (yea)
‘Cause it’s a lonely road a lonely road
Never suffer lonely
I no dey find trouble but these days I do

Oh dema pre me voodoo
But i thank Jehovah for the journey
Oh Joy comes in the morning
I let bad mind close and they were storing
I got so many secrets that i pray don’t come out
Paranoid cause I’ve seen things go bad
When my family turns to demons around me (yea yea)

I Thank you Lord for everything
Everything you’ve done for me
And I give you praise oh Majesty
And I say thank you

I Thank you Lord, for everything
Everything you’ve done for me
And I give you praise oh Majesty
And I say thank you

Thank you God for keeping things smoothly (hem ye ahee)
And the blessings wey you shoot daily (hem ye ahee)
I no go lie I am feeling differently (hem ye ahee)
Na why i still dey move undercover

Thank you God for keeping things smoothly (hem ye ahee)
And the blessings wey you shoot daily (hem ye ahee)
I no go lie I am feeling differently (hem ye ahee)
Na why i still dey move (o)

Oh dema pre me voodoo (hem ye ahee)
But i thank Jehovah for the journey (hem ye ahee)
Oh Joy comes in the morning (hem ye ahee)
I let bad mind close and they were storing (hem ye ahee)
I got so many secrets that i pray don’t come out (hem ye ahee)
Paranoid cause I’ve seen things go bad (hem ye ahee)
When my family turns to demons around me (yea yea)

Ngiyabonga ngoba ungewele ukuphila (Amen
Ngiyabonga Uyinzwele zwele(Amen)

Ngiyabonga ngoba ungewele ukuphila (Amen)
Ngiyabonga Uyinzwele

I raise my hands unto you Lord (Helele helele ahelele)
Oh joy comes in the morning (Helele helele ahelele)
You alone Lord makes me smile

I raise my hands unto you Lord (Helele helele ahelele)
Oh joy comes in the morning (Helele helele ahelele)
You alone Lord makes me smile

Helele helele ahelele (Hem yee ahee)
Helele helele ahee

Helele helele ahelele (Hem yee ahee)
