"Ori mi wu o, e la'gi mo; e la igi mo!" (My head is swollen, bash it with a stick; bash it in). A brilliant comment on the sharp interface between genuine aspiration and the swollen-headeness that often accompanies its accomplishment. We should always sing that to our soccer players, whose short staying power in competitive football is partly a result of their swollen-headedness, and also to some of our one-album wonder musicians, who insist they are celebrities. Cobhams is a gift to Nigeria!
Beautiful!! I luv this song..... la gi mo directly means throw wood at it but in context it means like umm when u r being bad n ur parents like beat you to shape you up.
"lagimo" in the context of the song means "break/puncture my pride". If you listen very well, you will hear something like "...Lord don't let it get to my head..." But "lagi mo" is a phrase that means "beat with wooden club"
Nice. Real nice. Reminiscent of Kaunan Allah by SGT Plus ft Jeremiah Gyang. Wonder if Rooftop MCs had the same producers on Lagimo as SGT Plus did on Kaunan Allah. Perhaps they all merely sampled from similar sources.
Oh, that. Right. A lot of Nigerians do seem to have discovered or become partial to harmonious rock after the LPark/J-Z collab "numb/encore". The backing beat for Lagimo has more, though. Particularly interesting is the guitar riff that would not have been out of place in a classic western (cowboy movie). Kaunan Allah preceded Lagimo by 2 years and may well have influenced production on Lagimo.

if you have heard songs then u gat to know that this song is the BOMB.foor top,they re above the roof nd killin it.i love this song to my soul nd my family loves the song too.even my mum hummmmms the song cos she knows dat her boiz love the song.....
guys it's not just the rhythm of your songs i luv, it's the message. your lyrics are so deep and you speak about issues we all face as christians but are often too shy or scared to talk about. keep up the good work and God bless
This song is an epitome of the current state of the music scene of the most UNDERATED country in the world, NIGERIA. Keep it up Peeps! This makes us proud to be affiliated with a great country like ours. WE SHALL GET THERE ONE DAY!
im impressed that these guys r following God's agenda..not any man-made ones.they r genuine and at times like this, i am proud to call myself nigerian..
Firstly I thank God for giving you all the seed of talent. i thank rooftop for growing this seed. i also thank Francis for his foresight and believing in rooftop.
I strongly support you on that. I believe Nigeria is getting better everyday, there are young people doing great things whose stories need to be told and heard.
Nobody will tell our stories if not ourselves. This is a great effort from this guys. God bless them

Great video, lovely sense with a message, revealing our individual struggles. Thanks to you Cobhams and Rooftop MC's and congratulations on ur album release.
This is awesome. It echoes d struggles of a 'successful' christian in a crazy world as ours. Nicely done, i m just so glad they decided 2 birth dis dream. Congrats, guys. U really r on God's agenda.
yet again, rooftop mcs and cobamms at it again. yu gotta give it to cobamms for his creativity with sounds and rooftop mcs for the daring venture into this genre. my cousin is on this video though. that's huge!
Wow, this song is bammmm. Loving it.

l think its an influence of numb. but cobbhams is quite original - the blind dude who does the chorus and produces.
he does better music than people who can see
