Jay… Soma

Verse 1

People dey for street wey neva chop
While some go overseas to just go chop
Even when oil dey naira dey drop
So how e go be if e come stop
Some people troway face others dey watch
As our glory dey fade pass jeans wey wash
Though me I go yan no be too much
Coz those guys wey dey up no dey like such

So I go hush coz dem dey here
Dem dey see and dem dey hear

Chorus

As hunger just dey echo… echo
Poverty just dey echo… echo
Corruption just dey echo… echo
Killings just dey echo… echo
Echo… echo…

Verse 2

I be think say by now we go don grow
But after all these years nothing to show
Our democracy sef dat one na joke joke joke
Coz all dem promises don turn to scope

But I go stop here coz dem no deaf
Dem dey see and dem dey hear

Chorus

As hunger just dey echo… echo
Poverty just dey echo… echo
Corruption just dey echo… echo
Killings just dey echo… echo
Echo… echo…

Spoken Word

Our leaders have mole vision (they can’t see nothing)
Exalted rogues blinded by vanity
All they see is the dollar sign
While over 200 innocent girls are enslaved in God knows where
A year approaches and Chibok knows no laughter
We take one step forward and three step backwards
And we call that progress
When would this ever make sense?
How would this ever make sense?
