SPEAK!
Na you be the reason my life na mess
Your priests say na trials but when I catch you lie that one too na test
I hear say your time na the best time
Agu, na only you dey defend all your worshippers, Mayweather na pipe
But where you dey when oyinbo carry your people go Egypt and Babylon
You just clap for them or maybe assist them to score
Put whistle for your mouth jejely wait for time to come
Till now e never come just like thy kingdom come
All your sacred shrines...to say I know I for shit there,
smelling shit wey go invite maggots within two minutes
After the Owambe give them 'Thanks for coming' souvenir
Fo sho command them to bring their maggot country within a minute
Oyibo burn your most sacred shrine just after we pray
I wait for thunder to strike am but thunder gba brake
May be the thunder still dey inside Lagos go-slow
No be go-slow na go-stop, cos even till now the thunder never drop
STOP!
I pray
I pray
My sisters pray
My brothers pray
Palee pray
Malee pray
Our ancestors pray
The whole village pray
When we pray we give you drinks, we give you food, we give you all
We sacrifice everything to you even our virgins' blood but.....
STOP!!!!!!!!!
THE BLASPHEMY MUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
Or what?
The gods are angry, You don blaspheme ba
Anything wey don happen no blame the gods. No blame the gods
Anything wey dey happen no blame the gods. No blame the gods
Anything wey go happen no blame the gods. No blame the gods
Ola yan us "The Gods Are Not To blame". So no blame the gods
When I talk, you sey I be woman. Yes, yes I agree
With all your problems the gods no send, now you dey nag abi
Nagging na my ting you even say na my birthright
Why you come dey form Jacob for this broad day light
Na me be your all and all before yanch dey for back
Before you learn how to wash your yanch. Before you stop to dey baf outside
Before you promise me heaven and earth, I no fit forget that ungodly night
You promise me I go be your wife, but na only your desires
You want pikin, nine months stroll pass I born you Belief
Na your late mama carbon copy. Tomato Jos sweet
Na she be the reason them put 'beautiful' for dictionary self
You personally make sure sey she get everything she cry for, you self
When she clock twenty five, you no allow another guy say hi
to her. For our very bed you defile her for my korokoro eye
No Vex
I no dey vex, I want make you see your mistake
If to sey you stop to dey have your way
If to sey you control your lust every single day
If to sey you let her marry at that age
If to sey you allow us plan for our family
If to sey that night you no suck my tender bobby
If to sey na only me and you, and no Belief
If to sey you no believe in gods, no blame to give.
You go make mistake and right your wrongs. No time to pray
You go learn to know, and know to learn. No time to pray
MORTAL!
YOU WILL NEVER EVER UN'STAND MY WAYS
MY SILENCE IS LOUDER THAN A ZILLION MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE
POWERFUL, IT CAN TURN YOUR TURBINES GIVE YOU POWER FOR TRILLION DECADES
MY WORDS ARE LIFE. HOW CAN THE SUN I MADE SHINE BRIGHTER THAN MY FACE?
SURELY, IT COMES A TIME WHEN A TALL BUILDING WOULD CHALLENGE THE SAND
A.I. TO HUMANS, AS THE ANTHILL CHALLENGES ANTS
THAT'S WHAT YOU DID, WHAT YOU'RE DOING INTO THE FARTHEST FUTURE TENSE
MORTAL!!
I LET YOU FACE LIFE WITHOUT ME
YOU SAY, 'YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE', 'LIVE AND LET LIVE'
IT'S ALWAYS TRIBE AGAINST TRIBE. RULE AFTER DIVIDE
THE WHITES PLAYED IT TOO. SOLD YOU JESUS, SO YOU WON'T MAR THE HIVE.
All gods na the same, as-salamu alaykum
Create the world flat or round, as-salamu alaykum
Make humans give them brains, as-salamu alaykum
Waʿalaykumu as-salām to all my goons in hood
Today I don salam, I surrender to my maker
Gimme Belief. My oblation, I submit my brain abeg take her
Now wey I don sabi the Quran pass Prophet wey write am
Na to kill for Allah especially those kafirs wey no like am
Na true tori be that, no wonder jihad no dey finish
AND CRUSADERS?
Be like sey Jesus get blood bank and him tank don full reach
No be so e dey before before church marry state and reformation
Hail Mary to the Queen, Hallelujah to the Pope declaration
The mass in the Mass go do the Amen like sey na God talk am
Now church na serious business thank God for Christ wey invent am
Pastopreneurs with their marketing skills don turn believers to customers,
So no blame the customers wey believe their pastors pass the Bible
Who dey read the manual wey come with him phone? I taya
Them dey live their lives like móloe without wheel and tire
Pastor this, Mallam that, them don forget the function of their brains
I want money, I only need to pray, sow a seed, and wait for my miracle
Tomorrow na El Classico, I sure say God go don receive enough prayer request
And if Madrid win, that one go mean sey God no answer Barca prayer request
No juju wey African teams don carry go world cup wey work
Their Juju no dey roam, E be like sey for jant them no get network
DON'T USE RELIGION TO JUSTIFY YOUR MEDIOCRITY NOR
BLAME GOD FOR ANYTHING. WHAT'S YOUR BRAIN MADE FOR?
I bin blind now I dey see, water no be sea
I bin blind now I dey see, water no be sea
Give them Belief, no need for brains. Serve the gods, grow your faith
Close your eyes repeat after me "Na only faith e take"
Believe your prophet, another man, more than your own senses.
That's why I no dey pray cos everyday I dey on my menses
by your shrine standard, I dey unclean. If I doubt you go call me Thomas
If I sacrifice my mother to you, your priest say you go give me wealth as bonus
Why e be say your own dear priest poor pass church rat
Why e be say them like to make unrealistic demands like spoilt brat
A man go meet you for charms to kill him follow man
E no matter the person him wan kill as long as him meet your demands
Like pregnant mosquito, eagle with one eye,
vulture with six wings, doll baby wey dey craze
To make me rich na virgin blood, my manhood abi my wife
womb, or make my first child craze.
I bin blind now I dey see, water no be sea
I bin blind now I dey see, water no be sea
Na religion our Obas, Igwes, Emirs take dey use our heads
For god sake we just submit our brains drop am on top their beds
Any happening wey the priest, king and gods no understand
Na to call am taboo (aru) and make a decree for instance;
Kill those twin! If no be taboo na superstition
No whistle for night, no allow people to cross over you
No kill wall gecko, no hit any man with broom
Another instance we choose to short our brains for Belief
The only one I believe sha na when my palm scratch me
Sure banka the within that week I go get money
I bin blind now I dey see, water no be sea
I bin blind now I dey see, water no be sea
WHY OTHER COLOURS ARE GLITTERING, ADVANCING SUNWARDS
YOU'RE STILL BLINDED BY RELIGIONS AND TRADITIONS YOU CREATED OR BORROWED
CHAINED BY BELIEF AND YOUR STATIC CULTURE. THUS AND THUS,
PRAY AND PRAY MORE WHEN YOU SHOULD BE USING YOUR BRAINS TO CREATE YOUR TOMORROW
YES, OPEN YOUR EYES FOR YE ARE GODS
I GAVE YOU POWER TO CREATE, THAT'S WHY I STOPPED.
Kal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I be wetin you feed me, I no be grey I no be red
Now now now, make una two leave my head!!!!!!!!!
