Gbogbo wa la n live in desperation
[Corruption has hit the nation, we all live in desperation]
🎶E'e ri bi awon ara ilu se n pariwo: Ebi!
[You can see how the masses are crying/shouting because of hunger]
🎶A'a ran omo lo si school, ko ni si textbook
E de promise pe e maa fun wa ni free education
Ki l'on je bee? Owo nla ma l'a fi n s'admission.
[We'll send our children to school but no textbook and you promised us free education; Yet! We spend a lot on admission alone]
🎶Wo'a lo si university, wa se tan, waa gba pali,
Pelu pali re, wa tun maa wa'se ka kaakiri, Graduate maa maa wa'se, gbogbo bata e a je,
a'a ye s'egbe, everywhere ko si employment,
[After graduation, you begin to look for job until your shoes become flat. Everywhere no employment]
🎶Eni ti o ti n kole tele, ko le ra cement

🎶Awon eeyan n sise, won n gbe ninu ise,
Increase ni rent, decrease ni salary payment.
Awon elo mii, nitori owo, won ti gb'ese.
[People are working, yet they live in poverty. Some have committed a lot of atrocities because of money]
🎶Awa l'a ni petrol, ki lo de ti petrol 'o flow?
E n gb'owo le e l'ojoojumo, ki lo se yin o?
[We are the owner of Petroleum, yet the price keeps increasing on daily basis]
🎶Economically, agidi l'a fi n ra bread
O'o le ji l'ojo kan, ki o so 'pe o fe je iyan.
Lai se ojo Sunday. Garri nikan gan an ti won.
Alagbara l'eni ti o ba ra rice De Rica kan.
[Economically, we struggle to buy bread. You can't afford to eat Pounded Yam unless it's Sunday. Garri Self is beyond human control now. Whoever that can can buy one De Rica of Rice and Beans now is a King]
May God Heal Our Land🙏
Happy Democracy Day Nigeria🇳🇬
