Tighten Your Belt

Oga Preseedo, we hear you
You say make we tighten our belt
Make we de saakpa, de live a fasting life
Cos dis time naa austere times
But you loose di rope of your shokoto
And sit-don dey chop life
Ten wraps of amala with éwedu soup
With brokoto, shaki and orisirisi
 Alone you dey gulp down dis big mountain
Until your bellé blow up like blom-blom

You say make we tighten our belt
 Dis time naa austere times
Make we de ride bicycle de go work
Cos the price of fuel e don cost
Now government don remove subsidy
Make bank de charge us heavy tax
Make we de pay charges to collect our moni from POS
Cos we de rebuild our country

But you carri all the moni for bullion van
You go buy for yourself a bullet proof jeep
Make e de jump all the potholes and gullies
And de shield you from di unknown gunmen

Oga Politician, I hail O!
As them de talk'm for street,
Who don blow, don blow
