Those wey dey steal the money for government!

Odi you all, yansh don fall
Anywhere yansh go, yansh must fall
Up, left, right, round round, it must fall
And na thing wey yansh dey do na this suite:
Shit, piss, fuck, it is, why not?
Because yansh na wonderful material perfect

[Pre-Chorus:]
Whether you like or you no like
After you hear this true talk
Whether you like or you no like

You see, man eye get different look for woman yansh
She see small yansh, you go say

If you can't see big yansh, you go say
"Yeah, look at this is small yansh!"
And if you see more yansh

You go say, "Hey baby, show me your particulars!"

If you no get am, you go handicap, you see
But the original particular

If you no get am, you go dey go ni
If you get am, you must enter...
