Soro Soke Naija is Taiwo’s third release after the well-received debut “Baba Do More and Gratitude” in his series of songs for a better Nigeria. “Soro Soke Naija” is dedicated to All our fallen heroes especially those who lost their lives during the “ENDSARS” protests across Nigeria, it emphasizes on the dire need for Nigerians to STOP KILLING ONE ANOTHER and embrace unity, love and peace regardless of their tribe or socio-economic class, till we see a new, better and greater Nigeria born.
As a devoted Christian that he is, he believes Nigeria will be great again, our night season of pain and waiting is almost over, and Joy and celebration will soon knock at the door of our nation. Little wonder he ended the song with “Last! Last!! ama wa OK” meaning All will soon be well.
God bless Nigeria.

I love you; I need you; I want you; you and I are one big family.

Verse 2:
Agba kin wa loja o, Kori omotuntun wo
(It’s an aberration for a child to not be positioned well under the watch of an elder)
Baaba soko so ja , ara-ile Eni nin loba
(Throwing stones with the intention to harm others backfires to harm a loved one instead)
Eyin oselu, ilu Lani ke tun se oo,
(Leaders, it's the nation we ask that you govern right)
Eyin ojelu, ejawo lapon tikoyo,
(Treasury looters, desist from your acts)
Ke lo gbomi ila kana, it's a new day for Naija
(Change your ways)
Biro balo fogun Odun o,
Otito ma de ba o,
(Even though lies go on for so long, the truth is will catch up with it)
Everyday bi like for the thief, one day na for the Onile (House owner),
Abo Oro laun so funomo Oluabi , sebi Toba denue yio dodindi.
(A word is enough for the wise)
Let's speak up for our rights,
Let's speak up for the truth,
And Stand up for our lives,
Let's stand for our peace
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Arise, my country men,
Let’s strive to make Nigeria great again
Repeat Chorus twice:
Verse 3:
Halima Sorosoke o, Bimpe sorosoke ,
Nnekka sorosoke o,
Everybody egbohun smoke o
(lend your voice)
Oji sorosoke, 'Layiwola ghohun soke,
Salisu Sorosoke o,
Every e gbohunsoke o
(lend your voice)
How good for you and me to stay together in unity
How good for you and me to stay together as one
(We can rotate power without nepotism,
We can redistribute our wealth without killing one another,
We need do away with this dichotomy if we must remain as one)
Chorus again

Ko ma ma disguise
Soro Soro Soro x2
Lift your voice now
Ko ma lo disguise.
