Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahn corruption and indiscipline
With no regard for the life of a citizen
Mtchew so sickening
I hope you greedy motherfuckers is listening
Ahn shey you dey see the insecurity
Still no regard for the life of a citizen
Ahn it’s so sickening
I hope you choke on your dinner this evening

You carry million Dollar keep put for house
When many brother never see food to chop
And many sister come dey prostitute around
Just to make sure they keep something in account
This no be club song I no come to shout
Na real strong matter I wan talk about
I see many thief now dem don dey renounce oo
I wake up from sleep I put song for mouth

Baba Fela talk am
But e no finish e no finish e no finish oh oh
When e go finish
Say baba Fela talk am
But e no finish e no finish e no finish oh oh
My brother when e go finish

I get many things to talk about
Yeah yeah yeah yeah to talk about

Ori mi gbono ema do mi si
Ejo e je kin soro ton
Sho li gba ti gbo gbo le gba jo ni si
I no know how long we go dey recession
My cousin tell me university no dey in session
Say get to the house and nothing to chow
Many don kpai go many dey depression
Somebody tell baba Fela say e too talk truth
Say the government still dey shoot on youth
Animal dem still dey put on suit and agbada
Our leader dem still confuse
Nothing wey dem talk dem never talk before
Political robbers all of them be fraud
Big thief talk my people je applaud
Wey dey still dey cause sorrow tears and blood

Baba Fela talk am
But e no finish e no finish e no finish oh oh
When e go finish

In Nigeria of today
The irony is there is the people are not conscious
Cost of living is

Where the poorest people are in the world




Sometimes I look and say Fela where you dey oo
Come and see oh
