Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twenty-four years on
Our government never perform
Dem just dey government dey chop
From 1999 we dey talk
They failed to repair our refineries
They pretend with their rivalries
They sit down together dey enjoy
While the country they destroy
[Verse 2]
11,836 elected officials
And thousands of more selected beneficials
Rotating themselves and bleeding the country dry
Playing politics with our lives
[Verse 3]
Democracy at all cost
But love for country them lost
These politicians their own worse
Their matter be like curse
[Verse 4]
You see, joining politics was their ambition
Corruption, was their intention
To steal and get rich was their mission
Greediness, was their motivation
[Chorus]
So after twenty-four years
With confidence we fit say
These politicians failed the nation
They failed to bring salvation
From 1999 to 2023
Them bastardize the economy
Bastardize the country
[Refrain]
Abi o
These politicians
Them don bastardize the economy
These politicians
Them don bastardize the country
[Chorus]
After 24 years
With confidence we fit say
These politicians failed the nation
They failed to bring salvation
From 1999 to 2023
Them bastardize the economy
Bastardize the country
[Refrain]
Abi o o o
Them don bastardize the country
Abi o o o
Them don bastardize the economy
Abi o o o
