In 1973 the Naira was introduced
To help the economy
But the value's kinda weak
One Naira point six Dollar
Unofficial calculation
Before inflation we used cowrie
We all knew what things were worth
But for mirrors and beads
They sold us a whole nation
You say now where's all the money gone
To banks in a-Switzerland
Your wealth is our poverty
A jokers reparation is kinda deep
He's got a punchline called democracy
On the stage of globalization
So now we go begging internationally
To the countries of our suffering
For debt relief
With no apologies
Just devalued currencies
No apologies
But jokers reparations
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations yeah (reparations yeah)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations yeah (reparations yeah)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations yeah (reparations yeah)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations (reparations)
Reparations yeah (reparations yeah)
Reparations
Yeah, yeah
Start looking for three jobs
We are going to need all those things
And before you breathe
Yo, 72, let's tell our 72, 72
No, you don't even go to the pub
