Na Who Know Tomorrow

29th June, 2002 & 29th January 2008
Person wey first marry
Na him marry ugly woman.
Person wey buy car first
Na him buy old model.
For this life make you no rush
Abeg take am sufri-sufri
Turn by turn na so life be.

Wetin you be
Wey you no fit cool down
About, about you dey bisi body
I be this, I be that.
Wetin you be
Wey all you sabi na to razz around
Blowing your trumpet like say
Na you owe Wall Street.
Wetin you be
Wey all you sabi
Na to blow cut and joint grammar
Come dey pose like Guinea fowl.
Abeg wetin you be
Wey small change dey swell your head
Tell me, wetin you be sef
Wey you want take oversabi kill your sef o!
Muri - The Naira Abuse

A note of honour
In honour of the assassinated General
A note of honour in exchange of liberty
A note, whose legality has been abuse.
Men in black and black
Men in black and green
Even men in green and green
Now men in brown and black
And those in apada are partakers
In our Muri-abuse.
Every drop, every block…
Muri’s hand must grease the palms
Failures are stories the undertaker have heard.
Muri-abdusers,
Just when shall you say good-bye?
I Love You, I Love You

I love you, I love you
No be for mouth
Man wey no get money
Wetin woman wan take am do
Abeg na who sent poor man.
The guy is good, the Bobo correct
Na him pocket make am o
Soup wey sweet, na money kill am
Woman wey fine, na change make am-o!
I love you, I love you,
No be for mouth
Something dey inside-o!
Love No Be Grammar!

Money no fit buy love
That na Oyibo palava
Ask African woman
Then you go know say
Love no be grammar.
Ask Omoge how do you do
If your pocket dry
Like Sahara desert
And if she buy your story
Then love na grammar.
Quote all the Shakespeare!
Read all the Romeo and Juliet for her
Blow all the Oyibo grammatical wey you sabi
If money no dey for hand
Back no go touch ground
Grammar no be love.
Give Oyibo women flower
She go cherish you pass Mango
Try African women
You go hear "na flower I go chop"
Wetin African woman sabi?
If you say na money, me I no dey o.
