One Day

One day dem go talk say sunlight don dey charge our phones And "they must be charged for it" One day De moon go dey kampe for all night And the next day, there will be bill for it One day dem go time de air wey we dey breathe And we will pay for Breathing Card to live One day de rain go fall yanfu yanfu And you'll read in the paper that "yesterday rain was part of our social responsibilities to the people" One day We go look everything well well with our own korokoro eyes And we'll get a mail that "your 'look' has expired, and to look tomorrow, you must subscribe" One day Leaves nor go dey inside bush again For they will serve as our Messiah from the diamond-price of cloth One day It would become illegal for us to live And that day, we go fight One day, we go fight.
