Oyo On Your Own
Is not new anymore
That we are not their worries
Is not oviously new anymore
That our needs are not their problems
Is commonly known
That our votes are always
Not for our farvour any more
Too long we earn all we have
Just by ourselves
So when you keep chanting
Their political names
when you keep believing
On their dreams to gave you a better life
Sorry your name should be called Oyo
Simplely means you are
On your own
Is not new anymore
That all we do is keep
Suffering and smiling
Is like is normal for us
This hard brutal life style
They offer us
Is not strange to us any more
The way our politicians allow us to
Wallow In porverty
So when you still believe
They can change your life
For a better tommorow
Sorry your name should be called Oyo
Simplest means you are
On your own
Is not funny anymore
Is not a child's play
This change we need is of no sooner
Our freedom are limited
Our fight for survival still continues
Somany has gone through this struggle to live
Somany have fallen so weak to crimes
Somany have committed sucides
Somany are in cages by their trusted goverments for nothing
Somany cries for help
I wonder to who
Is not an easy road any more the way it use to be
So many have change from the top
And now
Is affecting the hole body of my contry
So when you keep your hopes high
Based on the men from the hills (politicians)
Sorry you are Oyo
On your own
How can you trust a blind to lead the deaf
How could the lame lead the people to the promise land
How could you trust a man with out a vission
Don't you see he got no mission
We only earn cofussion curse by his emtyness
You still trust his lies
You still believe in his illusion
Who is fooling who
Here I brand you Oyo
You are highly
On your own
