about

Written by Femi Temowo

When a gun is more valuable to me than a loaf of bread, then, the thing my eyes behold, my mouth will be unable to speak of. Blood and water are of equal value but one cannot fulfill the other's duty.

lyrics

Aye si nsoro ogun, ebi si npa talika
(While the world wages war, the poor remain hungry)
Ko si ba se le ro, eje o ki se omi mimu
(Whichever way we look at it, blood cannot replace water)

Ibon po ju onje lo, ohun oju ri enu o le so
(Guns abound more than food, what our eyes have seen our mouths cannot utter) Ara mba ebi ja, eje o ki se omi mimu
(A people fighting itself, blood cannot replace water)

Bi oye nla lowuro, ilosiwaju yio ba wa
(As dew settles in the morning, progress will catch up with us)
Ibi ti a nlo la now, a o ki wo ibi isubu
(We should always focus on our destiny, not the mistakes of our past)
