Baba You No Try
A song made by Dj Magic Benson
Intro
(Soft piano, crowd murmurs, distant wails)
Ah... wetin we dey face so?
(Whispered: Baba you no try o...)
Verse 1
Dem promise us beta life, e don turn to story
Every single day, we wake up with new worry
Electricity no dey, water no flow well
Fuel price don skyrocket, who we go tell?
Our pikin no fit go school, the road self dey bad
All this wahala wey dey, e dey make person mad. (Chai!)
Chorus
Oga you no try o, abeg please no come again o
Baba you no try o, na we for ground dey suffer so
We tired of all this lie, we just want peace of mind
Baba you no try o, for us wey dey your back side! (E don do!)
Verse 2
Jobs no dey for youth, future too bleak to see
Insecurity everywhere, who go protect me?
Food don cost like gold, hungry belly dey vex
Ordinary garri wey we wan chop, dem don raise price vex
Na every corner we turn, na sad news we dey hear
Our leaders just dey chop, with no single fear. (Omo!)
Spoken Word Interlude
(Voice shaking, close to tears, faint crying in background)
"My pikin don dey hungry... I no know wetin I go do again o... No work... landlord dey pursue me... God abeg... make you help us..."
Bridge
But we no go give up, hope still dey inside us
One day, e go better, for all of us
Nigeria go rise again, with new spirit and power
We go build our nation, for every single hour. (Wallahi!)
Chorus
Oga you no try o, abeg please no come again o
Baba you no try o, na we for ground dey suffer so
We tired of all this lie, we just want peace of mind
Baba you no try o, for us wey dey your back side!
Outro
(Choir harmonies, piano fades, distant crowd murmur)
E don do... Enough is enough...
(Whispered: God bless Nigeria... Amen.)
