Shall You Shall I
Who can save mama?
Being stripped naked
Mocked, turned and scorned
By villains, aliens beyond
Shall you? Shall I?
They came with perplexed clothings
Coatings with absconded beauty
I know we wallowed in with confusion.
Who can turn our minds back to our own clothings?
Shall you? Shall I?
You turned our minds against EBA.
Our roots and fruits were trampled upon.
You gave us fried rice 'n' indomie.
Who will remind us our roots?
Shall you? Shall I?
Where is Ogun ? Where is amadioha?
Where is sango? I mean where is aranmiyan?
Where are our ancestors?
Who can tell where they are now?
Shall you? Shall I?
Oh mama Africa!
Papa alien has married you?
Paid bride price to mercenaries
Dowry spread amongst monks
Who can tell them we marry no more?
Shall you? Shall I?
