Omawumi ft. 2Face Idiba - What a Bang bang

Omawumi,

(Tell Them, tell ) 2 Baba in the building,

Thank you very much, Danke Schön, Asante sana..

Verse (Omawumi)

I don’t wanna be a guest in my home (i be oo)
I no want to dey feel like I be stranger with my very own (at all)
I want my people back at home to live in peace and unity o (na so, na so)
But them wuru wuru people dey feed on we like bread and tea 

Coda

Dem dey claim diplomatic immunities
On top of the civil political ingenuity
And them people dem using spirituality
Like a mask to hide their anxiety 

In case you no notice
There’s a guy on vacation called justice
When he approaches
You’ll be mumbling words like
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Chorus

Monkey work, Baboon chop
Fire in the jungle
What a bang bang, What What a bang bang (x2)

E be like dem don see monkey
God forbid I no be suffer head
One day (this country go better)
Na me and you (go do am together)
Coz if we no try (our people go suffer)
And wuru wuru people oo

Coda 

Dem dey claim diplomatic immunities
On top of the civil political ingenuity
And them people dem using spirituality
Like a mask to hide their anxiety

In case you no notice
There’s a guy on vacation called justice
When he approaches
You’ll be mumbling words like
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Chorus

Monkey work Baboon chop
Fire in the jungle
What a bang bang, What What a bang bang (x2)

God forbid I no be suffer head
One day (this country go better)
Na me and you (go do am together)

Verse (2Face )

I dey fear for the thing wey I dey see
Day by day dem upgrade their thiefability
This kind of thiefing don turn to insanity
How long shall we wait for the poverty subsidy
If na u na u need am pass

Na only for your mouth money sweet pass
Instead of to go go work pass
You say na reverse
Make all your people to dey carry last
Many days for the thief
Osino ga e che o de ya
As we hope and pray for the messiah

I hope I live to see
My people living in harmony
Everything guy na monanry
And there’s no reason to thief money
I hope and pray one day
Only better thing go dey come my way
Stop all corruption of yesterday
And replace it with honesty today

Chorus

Monkey work Baboon chop
Fire in the jungle
What a bang bang, What What a bang bang  (x2)

Make e no burn you
Make e no burn me
Fire(x2)

Me sef go work oo
You sef go work too
One day (x4)

We will be great
Them go catch all the thief ooo

Bang Bang yeah yeah!

The African Spirits

Even in those centuries, they abhorred  corrupt people,
Here we are, filled with all the Godly people,
Whiles toddlers and infants die of malaria and measles.
Wondering how the Spirits will render us clean of these malady,
Wondering how the spirits shall lead us to Electricity and Water.

Here we are, sitting in abundance and shame,
Our amulets began to wane when we threw our hands inane,
We are back to centuries afore when The vultures landed ashore,
O sour memory of extorted kisses,
Promises mutilated by daily whisperings,
Known men, we never really knew,
To our satisfaction, we christen them; Spirits.
-Kwesi Moore

Once while reading an article from an online outlet, i read a post where an African Bishop blames the woes of the land to Spirits. I was a bit upset but on a second thought acknowledged the sense in what he said. Truly, the African leaders are Spirits. The poem was a 15 minutes thought with two lines inspired by David Diop's, The Vulture.
