Lyrics Lya - Aṣa, Keziah Jones

Lya

We just dey die for nothing
too much disease for this land
Every day we go dey pray
God, help us save us
Too much money pass my eyes
All we dey do na smell am
Man must work and yet survive
Yet illusions plenty
K’omode ma seru lojo o
Iya ni, Iya ni oo
K’emi ma ru bata fegbe mi ooo
Iya ni, iya ti o da
Ai moye eyan loti segbe ee

Ai mo ye eyan t’o rise se

Brothers dey kill eachother age sef dey fry our people
Corpse e just dey flow like water
In and out this fruitful nation
Brothers, sisters make we wake up
and see the way this world dey turn round
Waging war no be wetin we want
cuz peace na wetin we need
