We just dey die for nothing

too much disease for this land

Every day we go dey pray

God, help us save us

Too much money pass my eyes

All we dey do na smell am

Man must work and yet survive

Yet illusions plenty

Iya ni, Iya ni oo

K’emi ma ru bata fegbe mi ooo

Brothers dey kill eachother age sef dey fry our people

Corpse e just dey flow like water

In and out this fruitful nation

Brothers, sisters make we wake up

and see the way this world dey turn round

Waging war no be wetin we want

cuz peace na wetin we need

K’omode ma seru lojo o,
