Run Away

This is uncle Deji's song

I know, everybody wanna run away
Out here, the main thing right now is to run away
Can't blame, anybody for wanting to run away
I pray, one day we won't have to run away
But these, politicians dey tiff o
Awon oloribu, dey tiff o
They even steal palliative o
So we're running away

I know, everybody wanna run away
Out here, the main thing right now is to run away
Can't blame, anybody for wanting to run away
I pray, one day we won't have to run away

Everybody thinking, is staying here really worth it?
It's hard to get a job, even the country isn't working
Mofe l'owo bi'yorin
If money ain't speaking, then you know why we yawning
I can't lie, being rich is my calling
Omo ale ni sapa, e no belong to the hubby
Poverty is for the birds, I'm tired of hawking
You ain't talking money, you know where to put the sock in
Home alone like Macaulay Culkin
I'm tired of sulking
If the money don't come, I'mo go & stalk it
Some want ice & cream, so they bask in robbing
Some people only do it cause they're hungry
Like there it is, there it go
Bring the money, gimme ego
This is how the country breeds criminals
Ignoring calls for help, blame it on the signal
What's the GDP, it ain't big enough?
Or is it APC, PDP's fault cause they steal it all?
I'm still in awe
Fuck these politicians, but I can't hit it raw
They're too shady like the 06 Ricky Ross
Everyday I'm hustling, everyday I'm struggling
Nothing to show for it cause everyday na suffering
So why won't I japa?
When the country's hijacked by a pack of jackals
Might as well give us to the Chinese in shackles
But before you do, moti ja si greener pastures
So you can't blame me when I throw away the passport
K'oju ma r'ibi, ko ma r'ibi mo
Nigerian immigration? Kan ma ri mi mo (L'aye!)

I know, everybody wanna run away
Out here, the main thing right now is to run away
Can't blame, anybody for wanting to run away
I pray, one day we won't have to run away
But these, politicians dey tiff o
Awon oloribu, dey tiff o
They even steal palliative o
So we're running away

I know, everybody wanna run away
Out here, the main thing right now is to run away
Can't blame, anybody for wanting to run away
I pray, one day we won't have to run away

Everybody is in a japa mode
Cause we don't see a god damn hope
Either that or a suicide note
That's something the rich & the poor man knows
If you ask me with whom the blame lies
I'll put the rock up like I'm Dame Dash
Asshole rock, cause they're the worst assholes in the whole world
Abi a so rock
Cause all they do is create a mess
And beg for loans, so we stay in debt
But the money is gone with the wind like Scarlett & Rhett
The consequence of mismanagement & theft
That's why, I pray for money & visa
The money is for a flight to a country that I deserve
Broke now, but I believe one day
I'mo get diamond from the coal like Wande
Gimme diarrhea from Friday to Friday
But being stuck in Nigeria is the only shit I can't take
And I won't steal
Cause I no be politician, mo kin s'ole
Hard work for Naija, we know it don't pay
Cause the hardest working ones are the ones they don't pay
They're not asking for love & attention, they're not Lojay
They just wanna get some of their pension, jo kilode
You be tiff at your old age
I guess being a thief doesn't know age
Because of these agbayas, we relocate
O ye ka da won dubule, ka sa won l'egba
Make them holla at your boy, b'eni to ko Ojuelegba
O ye ka da won dubule, ka sa won l'egba
Make them holla at your boy, b'eni to ko Ojuelegba
