Open that book dem call dictionary

Because him get him meaning too
(Legs for down, yansh for up)
Upside down get him meaning too

I don travel, I don see
I'm beginning to vex up for this land
The thing wey I see I go talk
About upside up and downside down
For oversea, wey I see

Communication organize (patapata)
Agriculture organize (patapata)
Electric organize (patapata)
Them system organize (patapata)
Them people organize (patapata)
Them people organize (patapata)

English man get English name

For African man outside don't see
I'm beginning to vex oh for this land
I no want to travel anywhere
Everything dey under my nose
For African man outside don't see

Fillings boku road no dey
Land boku food no dey
Area boku house no dey
People no dey bear African name
People no dey think African style
People no know Africa great
For African man outside don't see
