It's important to note that some of the lyrics in this song are nonsensical and don't have a clear meaning. However, the repeated refrain of "no agreement" seems to touch on the idea that disagreements and conflicts are inevitable in life, but that they don't necessarily have to be barriers to progress or understanding. Instead, the song suggests that we can work together despite our disagreements and find a way forward.
The use of non-lexical vocables, like "jabay air dghh," "bzyhsjdn jsbbz," and "zbzbz dhsns," add to the abstract and almost otherworldly quality of the song. These sounds are used to create a feeling rather than convey a specific meaning. The use of disjointed phrases and seemingly random words, like "juunonij" and "bzhsvmx," also contribute to this surreal atmosphere.
The song features a blend of different musical styles and influences, including jazz, funk, Afrobeat, and traditional West African music. This is reflected in the instrumentation, which includes horns, percussion, electric guitar, and a kora, a traditional stringed instrument from West Africa. The lyrics are also sung in a variety of languages, including English, French, Wolof, and Yoruba.

My god that bass, that drummer, that keyboardist, and those epic horns. So good it should be illegal.
@ml106
It could be illegal (today), but certainly shouldn't. But back in the day it indeed was LITERALLY illegal.

Dog eat dog , one of the best songs ever made by fela and his band
@williamgoit5927
Nobody arranges horns like Fela. Amazing endurance and concentration.The inspiration is contagious. Timeless genius. Almost everyone sounds like an amateur next to Fela. His musical genius is under appreciated because the righteous message of Justice and Freedom is terrifying to the colonial mentality.

Everyone got screwed by Fela
