Boys Are Not Smiling

(альбом: Rapsodi - 2011)

[Olamide:]
BANS is the movement baby
All boys come out
Olamide is here
All boys come out
Terry tha rapman is here too
You know how we do it coded tunes

All the money in the world
Can make them rich but
It can never make
Them the leader
Dem fit get craze but
Dem no get witch
The future is here and
Na we be the leader
Boys are not smiling eh eh
Boys are not smiling eh eh
Boys are not smiling eh eh

I pledge to Nigeria my country
But how do I serve you
With all my strength when
I'm hungry
I love you and you know that
This love is real
It's not because of money
Cloth or all the luxury
Youth yapa s'igboro like chicken
With no poultry
Vision 2020 e gbo ni ibo lo'n tiri
The truth we playing ganes
Now they wanna play us
Like lottery
Ta ba ma fi hammer kan iso
Shey la ma gba la to ri
Them say we too dey vex
Dem say we too dey binu
We no dey smile at all
Awa o rerin ti o denu
Eerin ti wo'n ba abiola rin
Titi tí wo'n fi pa danu
Oun lo'n tun fe ra owo le
E so fun won kan ja danu

All the money in the world
Can make them rich but
It can never make
Them the leader
Dem fit get craze but
Dem no get witch
The future is here and
Na we be the leader
Boys are not smiling eh eh
Boys are not smiling eh eh
Boys are not smiling eh eh

We're here for something more
Reasonable not fighting
This movement is all about uprising
To me dem be like birthday cake
With no icing
More like a fine art teacher
With ugly writing
All thier old stories gat us
Doing like argh
And we gat voice
So we gat to create our own words
All they want is money and power
And make we call them my chair
That one na old method
This is brand new naija
Just dey know but don't know
If they gat an idea
So fun won ki won gba gbe oshi
Nobody wey dem fit ride here
Wetin dem tell us is
The same thing
They told us past years
Past years
Past years
Past years

All the money in the world
Can make them rich but
It can never make
Them the leader
Dem fit get craze but
Dem no get witch
The future is here and na
We be the leader
Boys are not smiling eh eh
Boys are not smiling eh eh
Boys are not smiling eh eh

[Terry Tha Rapman:]
It's like a jungle sometimes
That makes me wander
Keep me from going under
How I keep from going under
Put my faith in the lord
However e gats be
Coz nowadays I dey even fear
Police pass thief
Coz if you no drop the something
Them fit turn real nasty
And dem get guns like Rambo
And dem fit just blast me
Politicians dey dey fight
Over oil fields
Leaving nothing for boy
Naija delta boys kill
From oil spill to blood spill
Na blood dey boil still
B A to N S is how the boys feel
Religious leaders wey we dey
Look up to for guidance
Use religion turn our head
They wan divide us
As they wan divide us
Just because we be minus
But, the more they try to kpai us
The more they multiply us
The first comes the mass
Killings and the silence
And all the government does
Is condemn the violence
Nonsense
