Mr. Driver!

Bee, bee, bee!

Reduce ya speed;

Be cautious at that bend;

Easy does life;

Mr. Driver!

Runner would not;

Get beyond home;

Sluggish won’t fall;

Short of arriving home;

The wise man holds;

The fish by the head;

The foolish man holds;

The fish by the tail;

It is in parable;

We drum agidigbo;

(Yoruba lamellophone).

Only the wise men;

Dance to the tune;

The headache’s for anyone;

That hews down a tree;

The tree would sprout;

Mr. Driver!

Bee, bee, bee!

Reduce ya speed;

Be cautious at that bend;

Easy does life;

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Yea, at long last;

We are awakened;

To see what you've done;

What can we do?

But pack up and run!

Now, we know the truth;

Jonathan Goodluck, go;

Get yourself another fool.

You’d vowed to be true;

But deep in your heart;

You knew that;

You were lying.

Now, we know the truth;

Jonathan Goodluck, go;

Get yourself another fool.

You’d vowed to be true;

But deep in your heart;

You knew that;

You were lying.

Da’s gone to farm;

He’d fore-warned me;

Not go to the river;

Mom’s gone to market;

She’d fore-warned me;

Not to go to the river;

I slip to go to the river;

I went to swim;

I go in the water;

Behold, the mermaid;

Emerged to take me away;

A seven eyed demon!

I’m doomed!

A forewarning is:

Better than sacrifice;

I’m doomed!

Greet my dad;

I’m doomed!

A forewarning is:

Better than sacrifice;

It’s finished!

Greet my mom;

I’m doomed!

A forewarning is:

Better than sacrifice;

It’s finished!

I have become;

Child o’ mermaid;

I’m doomed!

A forewarning is:

Better than sacrifice;

It’s finished!

A leaf that falls;

Into a portion;

Is, also, a portion;

I’m doomed!

A forewarning is:

Better than sacrifice;

It’s finished!

KISSING THE FROG!!!

Listen to my story o;

People near-n-far;

Is a child wailing;

Momma is dead!

Is there a God?

Listen to my story o;

People near-n-far;

Is a child weeping;

Daddy is dead!

Momma's killed;

By the Boko-Haram;

Daddy's shot dead;

By the JTF;

No house to sleep;

Houses are burnt down;

By the JTF;

No food to eat o;

Neither water to drink;

U dare not go out;

Lest you kiss a frog!

Lest you being killed!

Listen to my story o;

People near-n-far;

Is a child wailing;

This life is naught;

For we the poor;

Hell couldn't be;

Bitter than this life;

Listen to my story o;

People near-n-far;

Is a child wailing;

Kissing the frog;

Everyday we die;

Just like ants;

On the ground!

People near-n-far;

Is a child wailing;

Is there a God...
