Down

(album: Merchants, Dealers & Slaves - 2013)

Something dey go round town
People dey go downtown
Some people dey stand around
You wanna know, go downtown
Them say the Chief
E dey sleep with the thief wife
Aboki for corner
E dey sleep with the chief wife
The neighbor daughter, carry belle for the thief child

Rere run
O run

Something dey go round town
People dey go downtown
The world is spinning round round
The world is going downtown

People dey go uptown
Anyway anyhow now now
Chop your own and clean mouth now
We print and loot and share around
Them say the priest
E dey pray for the thief
Shadaka for Allah
Blood for the spirit
People no bother
Dem they wait on the Lord fa!

Rere run
O run

Something dey go round town
People dey go downtown
The world is spinning round round
The world is going downtown

Something dey go round town
People dey slam head for ground
Dem say garri still cost for town
Few people dey smile
More dey frown
