This nation as we know it?
Or the one me den you go love live in den die for?
Around here, babies no be children any more
Adults aren’t any older
It’s hard telling what’s good from what’s bad
We all be everything some
So nothing really dey move
See Boys mok slow pass
The instabrities dey slay but the hustle never really dey die
Day in day out
We live from hand to mouth
Every day we tell ourselves tomorrow go be better
Forgetting that today was yesterday’s tomorrow
(Eeeiihh)

Who, what, how, why, when? (Jigi Jaga Jigi Jaga)

Around here, we live day to day
And when we get paid, it’s only because we’ve got bills to pay
See, create the system
Systematically set it such that that
The system forces them to work for the system
And when the system pays them it’s only because they have to pay back the system for the services the system provided them
Around here,
This be the place where we go hungry from cooking food
Thirsty in an ever flowing water
We dying out of hunger even in bumper harvest
The hustle is hard
The struggle is real
The streets be chocked
Ourna moves make low
Boys mok slow.
Where e ketch even deebees Dey bleed
This country is hard
No be day we no dey try
Ibi like the system be rigged
So before we chop we for search
Ein all dat
For the street every bro dey browse
Dat be why asey

Every four years we feel a leap
Every leap year
We leap with faith.
With their lips they yorb us for our thumbs
Mokin noise about changing the system
Dem nya chop perrr
To them we be commoners
Ourna true worth is only valued once every four years
We be that citizen juggling a hustle or two so sey wanna families no go hong
Dat be why ibi naive to think because we’ve eaten, we are not hungry.

Death to this ballot
Let’s fight for us
Death to the ballot
Let’s root for what then?
I refuse to sell myself too cheap
We are the change
We wield the power to give a few the power to have power over us
So death to the ballot
Power to the people
Death to the ballot
Smoke the faces on the ballot
Death to the ballot
Power to the people
Death to the ballot
Power to the people.
Death to the ballot
Power to the people.
