Tru Mantra, the dynamic music duo comprised of Lanre Abiose and Tony Okwechime, has released their latest single, "Jeje." This soulful track takes the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6 and transforms it into a melodic journey of faith and trust in God:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
"Jeje" captures the essence of this scripture, emphasizing the importance of trusting in God over relying on one's own understanding. With its catchy hook and message-laden verses, the song encourages listeners to make the right choice and lean on God's boundless love and guidance.
Reflecting on the song's message, Tru Mantra states, "With only one life to live, the choice is either to struggle with the frustrating limitations of self or to trust in God and rest in His boundless love." The chorus invites everyone to embrace this philosophy:
Jeje laye yi o, Jeje laye yi (Take life easy)

Lyrics to "Jeje":
Chorus:
Jeje laye yi o, Jeje laye yi (Take life easy)
Jeje laye yi o, Jeje laye yi (Take life easy)
Jeje laye yi o, Jeje laye yi (Take life easy)
Jeje laye yi o, Jeje laye yi (Take life easy)
Verse:
Aye o pe meji, ko pe meji (You don't have two lives)
Aye kan lowa-a-a-a-a (There’s only one life)
We don't know where we wanna go
We don't know what we wanna do
Only He can save, only He can save
You feel like nothing seems to make any sense
You've got it, but it really doesn't quench your thirst
You've done it, but it makes you feel so depressed
It feels like no one that you know really cares
Just know that He truly, truly cares yeah
He died just to show that He cares yeah
He'll wipe away your tears, cos He cares yeah, cos He cares yeah.
"Jeje" is now available on all major streaming platforms.
