Lyrics
[Intro]
Frontline woman
Frontline woman
Frontline woman
Frontline woman
[Chorus]
She want love and Revolution
She no come for my looks
She come for my books
She want love and Revolution
She no want no fashion accessories
We only talk Revolutionary strategy
She want love and Revolution
[Verse 1]
From the time Wey she meet me
My soul never empty
She teach me how to love
She teach me how to war
She say my spirit worth a little more
[Verse 2]
She fierce, wise beyond her years
She respects the ancestors
She fierce, wise beyond her years
You don't wanna mess with her, I advise ya
She fierce, wise beyond her years
She bless me with her presence with her essence
She fierce, wise beyond her years
When I close my eyes, her fire is all I see
[Verse 3]
She say my life, it is my melody
But the people dem bring the harmony
She wan live her life
She no wan live a lie
[Chorus]
She want love and Revolution
She no come for that hear say
And when she move no be play play eh!
She want Love and Revolution
She no send my house she no send my car
She no send nothing even if I be star
She want love and Revolution
[Verse 4]
She comfort me she be my big god
I love her like a bigger god
Her people fight na her fight every day
She loud pass the noise and move her own way
[Verse 5]
She fierce, wise beyond her years
She respects the ancestors
She fierce, wise beyond her years
You don't wanna mess with her, I advise ya
She fierce, wise beyond her years
She bless me with her presence with her essence
She fierce, wise beyond her years
When I close my eyes, her fire is all I see
[Verse 6]
She say my life, it is my melody
But the people dem bring the harmony
She wan live her life
She no wan live a lie, reach higher
[Chorus]
She want Love and Revolution
Like Nina and Fela, I no fit define her
I feel like a learner at the feet of Marimba
She want Love and Revolution
She grab my thoughts and lift my spirits
She say we work e never finish
She wants Love and Revolution
[Verse 7]
Know how to love her, no be to own her
And she no need to change because I know her
[Verse 8]
My frontline woman
She dey the trenches with the troops
Empower them troops
My frontline woman
She be the general, one of a time
My frontline woman
She dey the trenches with the troops
Empower them troops
My frontline woman
She be the general of the people general
[Verse 9]
She fierce, wise beyond her years
She respects the ancestors
She fierce, wise beyond her years
You don't wanna mess with her, I advise ya
She fierce, wise beyond her years
She bless me with her presence with her essence
She fierce, wise beyond her years
When I close my eyes, her fire is all I see
[Verse 10]
She say my life, it is my melody
But the people dem bring the harmony
She wan live her life
She no wan live a lie
