lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’re welcome, You’re welcome
This here land we don’t wait till help comes Don’t ask the elders, it’s what they left us On the grind and it’s what we learnt from We grew tired of hearing their lectures
So we rebelled we came with a vengeance All my warriors in attendance
Fully sentient, engines relentless
So I know we’re bound to be legends
[Hook 1]
Have no fear, I come to inspire
Though the situation sounds dire, It’s exactly what you require
Let the sights and sounds light your fire,
Let it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
[Verse 2]
Tell me say they no dey expect am No fit see spirit when e enter
You suppose to feel am fi chakra
Just like the times we breathe in the ganja Big spliff a burnin just like a Rasta
Big wheels a turnin just like a monster truck
Make sure the ground looking thunderstruck
Up on your feet when the beat come clutch
Groove and rock,
Rock to the riddim and groove
Make you start to dey vibrate
I tell you it’s highly medicinal
Watch how a badderman dos it
You go dey gyrate like you was irate gan ni
No go dey sleep, ma lo sun
If you snooze then you lose
They go put you on cruise,
And we will not use our blues
as a way to excuse all the hate and abuse we’ve been used to
[Hook 2]
Jeje o
Jeje,
Awon olote
W’an pe n be
They been dey think say I send dem o
Ibo lon ti mo mi tele (tele) (2x)
[Outro]
Ibo lo ti mo mi
Where do you know me
Why you go come think say I send your daddy
Ibo lo ti mo mi
Where do you know me from?
How do you know me now?
(Ki lo mean)
What?
You say you said where?
You say you said what?
You say you said who?
E no fit be me
E no be for here
You say you said how?
(Ehn I no dey hear you, speak up)
