Intro
(Soft piano, crowd murmuring)
Baba... baba you no try
Abeg please no come again o
Verse 1
Promise upon promise, na empty talk lang
Four years don pass, wetin we gain?
Bills dey rise, but salary still stuck
Mother dey cry, pikin no get school luck
Jobs disappearing like smoke in the air
Where we supposed go? Nobody dey care
Generator noise, light don abandon us
Fuel prices breaking us, na serious fuss
Chorus
Oga you no try o, abeg please no come again o
Oga you no try o, wetin we don suffer for nothing?
You chop, we dey starve
You laugh, we dey cry
Baba you no try, we tired of the lie
Verse 2
Insecurity dey chase us from our homes
Young boys lost, no direction, no hope
Education system don collapse complete
Healthcare na luxury, we can't compete
Roads full of potholes, water don finish
Promises na decoration, they don't accomplish
We voted, we trusted, we believed in change
But empty stomach different, the pain too strange
Chorus
Oga you no try o, abeg please no come again o
Oga you no try o, wetin we don suffer for nothing?
You chop, we dey starve
You laugh, we dey cry
Baba you no try, we tired of the lie
Bridge - Spoken Word Section
(Emotional, overlapping voices)
My pikin ask me, "Papa why we no get light?"
My wife ask me, "Where the money for food?"
My mother crying, "My son no get work"
I don tire... I don tire for this country
Outro - Reflective & Hopeful
(Soft choir, piano fades)
But still we pray, still we hope
For better days, for better scope
Naija, we no give up yet
God go fix am, you go see
Baba you no try... but we still believe
