DUET 'SORO SOKE'

AJAKAYE:

A promising government with snail actions,

very impressive like their manifestos,

even the sky is too expensive to have wind,

the sun heats the country so hard,

chai...

500 can't cook concoction rice anymore,

Seme boarders chasing foreign rice

and ofada is now gold sold in green leaves.

JOHN FWRESHEZ:

Free food here and there,

as spoken by our government.

Yet, the people are starving,

morning and night all in search of government paleatives.

When are we going to be free from poverty and starvation,

whereas the government shows no concerns about it's citizens.

AJAKAYE:

Civilians cut the green honesty of palliatives,

and decide to store them till they campaign again.

Vote which doesn't count,

news that are official lies on enveloped tables,

do you understand?

Reading only stories that favour the power,

the land is a modern war.

JOHN FWRESHEZ:

We are tired to be ruled by old cargos, 

Who only think of

nothing else than themselves.

Fake promises is what we have been feed on.

We are the leaders of tomorrow.

We want a brighter future for the upcoming generation's.

Who is saying we youths are lazy?

Let he or she be the first to cast a stone on us.

AJAKAYE:

Those days... When to be educated is a big dream,

now the green jacket doesn't guarantee a job 

than a year,

even Iya Sakiru doesn't sell 30 Naira rice anymore,

they gather meetings that plan our funeral,

just as they killed the only sympathetic one, 

Yara'dua we miss you,

kiss your days when iresi was 120Naira.

Even garri has to be soaked for a week

so it can swell for the family's consumption.

JOHN FWRESHEZ:

Education is the best legacy,

I heard my dad whisper to her ears. 

Where is the legacy of our so called leaders of today?

Drinking and celebrating the success of their children,

while the poor looks forward in dreaming big to become someone great,

while we lack school equipments for the future leader's.

Sleepless nights and burning of candles for a better tomorrow...

AJAKAYE:

Bribery and corruption everywhere,

go get a fuel is NNPC and they blow breeze

in your motor tank.

Onions is now diamond,

pepper onion is 120,

even clothing is a burden upon the poor,

what do we do?

Vote again for a false government,

this ain't democracy, 

it is kleptocracy
