Ozy! SDC!
This one's for the fore-fathers
Classic!

Ever felt like you're in a
Low budget Nollywood flick
And its a crap scene?
The Naija version of groundhog day
And stuck in this reoccurring bad dream
I swear my country's a cocktail of
Absent codeine and caffeine
Bar tender says here's four more shots
There is generational trauma going on here
And like karma the bitch won't stop

My friend called said
Bro, I'm moving back from jand
For his mind contract go just land, oh boy
Six months later baba run back hmm
Said "this place ma one chance", oh boy
Used to be a fine babe she don cast
Too much mileage on that ass, oh boy
Sade won't you go and get a husband?
A rich one to give you that assurance, oh boy

I swear my country's a cocktail of
Absinthe codeine and caffeine
Bar tender says here's four more shots
There is generational trauma going on here
And like karma the bitch won't stop

I remember when I told my white friends
That I seen a man wrapped
With a tire burnt alive when, I was five
They looked at me with sadness in their eyes
One of my co-workers slowly started to cry
Ah, what's going on?
I didn't realise anything was wrong
I mean we all just slowly moved along
With our days, went to school
Another memory that I calmly put away like
Mumsy ask me Wale what's your day like?
Think I told her bout the rest
Whole country got post traumatic stress
Africa's giant man say it with your chest
Imagine one day, Director shouts cut!
And they switch the lights off
And you realize this was all a joke
Ha I could only live in hope
Make dem throw the country away now
So we can hit reset on the way down
And we can lift the hex that they placed
Round our necks and the stress we escaping
When we lay down
I'm thinking, how do we grow?
Will we ever get a chance to reload
I know some people really chopping off the chaos
But Karma is dish served cold

One for the money two for the show
3 for my people at home
Somehow we gotta make it legal illegal or both
I'm at the fork in the road
I took a different approach
All these years no light
Don't see a beacon of hope
Pitch black!
Got to the end of the tunnel
And it was pitch black!
Shoulda just done what I wanted
And hit a lick fast
Lil good boy now a nigga big bad
Yeah a nigga big bad
And Pissed off
If you can't do it by the book
Then what'd you read for?
My hommie quit his job became a G-boy
3 months later baba don buy Porsche
Small boy big God talk less win more
(we gon win y'all)
And I pray l'm forgiven for my sins lord
We just living out this Nollywood dream
Bad guys don't die
The man with the money wins
Manacles on my mental
They don't want you to think
If you don't move an inch
Your praying won't do a thing
Something bout to happen yo
It's always on the brink
When you in the jungle know
It's all about the green white green
Freedom ain't free it's what it seems
We collect cash cheque or melanin
You better be a friend of the regime
