Commentary
Cobhams ‘Jah Eli Jah’ is a prayer song in which the singer pours his heart out to God. He is tired of his present condition and wants God to turn his situation around.
‘Jah Eli Jah’ lyrics says a lot about the passionate prayer of the artist persona and how quickly he wants God to answer his prayers.
In his own verse of the lyrics to ‘Jah Eli Jah,’ Shmurda takes a flashback to the times when he hustled his way up, helping his brothers and friends all along.
Though those days are now bygone, Cobhams continues to pray that God blesses him so much that his enemies will see the Goodness and Favour of God upon his life.
Having seen the wonders of God, Patoranking gives ‘special thanking’ for coming out of ghetto to overseas. According to him, God has proven to them (his enemies) that he could make it in life.
Generally, the trio of Cobhams, Patoranking and Bella Shmurda put all their expertise to compose an impressive lyrics to ‘Jah Eli Jah.’
