As I walk through the market,
I stop and stare.
I see the market women
bleaching but they are still not fair.
The youths of today have gone
astray
Blame it on the wind, it
blows our conscience away.
Get rich or die trying 'yahoo-yahoo'
scheme
Perfectly executed better
than a spielberg film.
I guess its our payback for
what they did to us
120 naira? what a toll on us.
Looking at the end of the
tunnel but still no light
Electricity is such a luxury
what a plight
They say he without sin should
cast the first stone
I think he without sin should
cast the first vote.
The rulers are a reflection
of the masses
What's a palliative? We want
more buses.
Oil money fuels our thoughts
But no petrol to fuel our
trucks
Citizens taking laws into
their own hands
While others sit and watch in
the stands
Alleged crime, don't beat and
kill him like a 'malu'
Oh no, my heart goes out to
the victims of Aluu.
