lyrics

Nfie nan biaa
yɛ to ma mo nso monnyɛ hwiaa
wotina apakam wo gye nkyea
twa woa bɔ wo nyɛ woa sɛdiɛ

Nfie nan biaa
Yɛ to ma mo biomua , yea kyea
Nea ogu efuo so enhu edua ba
Yɛnnyɛ mmoa na woe bu yɛ nkwasia

Are you a Party activist? - display a poster
Are you a proper lobbyist - donate some dollars
You be election publicist - attend our meetings
Congress lyricist - door to door greetings

Political mites, mouth submissions
Police bribes, fraud religion
fund-raising, backwards vision
Vote leaflets, dodgy printing
Foot soldiers on the mission
You tell we say we all winning
The process no be convincing
Wonna protests you no listen
No focus, no precision
More locusts, wrong decisions
Dem throw we in dem prisons
You fi steal more so you different
shoulderpads of non-fulfillment
Jokers job condescending
The campaigns, the champagne, the waiting, debates
Untarred lanes, the ranting, the same thing, be fate?
We want change, the complaints, brain drain, mistakes
Your mansions, fake functions, deviations, GH
The nonsense expanding, we facing decay
The modern day dungeons, the slavery replayed
Ambulances lined for drone cameras
Healthcare abroad for yo parliament
Reflects you dey turn yo back on us
Our confidence against yo cowardice

Politics always objective be offensive
Bowls for Offertory concerts for collections
Dem forget colleges Nkrumah built for progeny
Dem give we nothing, dem give we promises
'83 famine, pots without porridges
Highjacking state pockets, rich and complicit
Biz yo old boy what be June 4th for Rawlingses
Or cocaine to kokonte, koti offices
Verandah boys activism 1946
talking drums tap for trendsetters talking sense
coup was bloodless, Kutu Acheampong took office then
Most had the coffers spent, most had incompetence
Operation Feed Yourself, importing roughages
Education potholes, nepotism companies
Reflects you kraa dey turn yo back on us
Beyond return to rotten continent

Aduro bɛgye woa gye sɛ atere ma
Nfie apem nie yennhu agyenkwa
