Lyrics One Day - Eldee

One Day

One day one day e go better for naija
money go circulate, light go dey
One day one day we no go need to ja comot naija
Omo e don tey, I for like make e be today
its still the same guys, still the same lies
still the same breed, still the same greed
still the same promise, ten years in office
make no change, except for their pockets
they really dont care, and we dont either
we’d rather just chill, watch them decieve us
trust in God, thats what they teach us
to idolize leaders, ballers, preachers
and dont ask questions or else they’ll kill
watch them loot, they rob, they steal
all the resources under our nose
cant blame 'em its the position we chose
we stay subdued, modern day slaves
living like s#!
t in these modern day caves
we must say no, thats the solution
new day, new way, due revolution
One day one day e go better for naija
money go circulate, light go dey
One day one day we no go need to ja comot naija
Omo e don tey, I for like make e be today
its been about 50yrs of this struggle
its been a long time we’ve been on this hustle
its almost as if say we no wan grow
people dey lead us just to get dough
cos if light no dey generator must sell
and if you get gen you must buy fuel
and to buy fuel no be small matter
without borehole you no fit get clean water
so poor man suppose to do business?
how small child suppose to fight sickness?
if for hospital, drugs no dey
and if you get wound, you must first pay
now our education don dey fall short
all skilled workers just wan comot
this kind system e no sustainable
it is not sustainable
One day one day e go better for naija
money go circulate, light go dey
One day one day we no go need to ja comot naija
Omo e don tey, I for like make e be today
Eh me I go yarn, i go still dey speak my mind
for all the basic amenities my people dey find
our children dey die, our wives dey cry
and its all due to the corruption
we must say no, no to all bad politicians
no, no to bad government officials
no, no to all man wey suppose dey work, we dey thief money
healthcare is so bad, mortality rate is too high
good road e no dey, for road my people dey too die
clean water to drink, good house to sleep
electricity and security
my brother all these things na basic amenity
na basic amenity.
