Boys Are Not Smiling

[Intro: Olamide]

BANS is the movement baby

All boys come out

Olamide is here

All boys come out

Terry tha rapman is here too

You know how we do it coded tunes

[Chorus: Olamide]

All the money in the world

Can make them rich but

It can never make

Them the leader

Dem fit get craze but

Dem no get witch

The future is here and

Na we be the leader

Boys are not smiling eh еh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys arе not smiling eh eh

[Verse 1: Olamide]

I pledge to nigeria my country

But how do I serve you

With all my strength when

I’m hungry

I love you and you know that

This love is real

It’s not because of money

Cloth or all the luxury

Youth yapa s’igboro like chicken

With no poultry

Vision 2020 e gbo ni ibo lo’n tiri

The truth we playing ganes

Now they wanna play us

Like lottery

Ta ba ma fi hammer kan iso

Shey la ma gba la to ri

Them say we too dey vex

Dem say we too dey binu

We no dey smile at all

Awa o rerin ti o denu

Eerin ti wo’n ba abiola rin

Titi tí wo’n fi pa danu

Oun lo’n tun fe ra owo le

E so fun won kan ja danu

[Chorus: Olamide]

All the money in the world

Can make them rich but

It can never make

Them the leader

Dem fit get craze but

Dem no get witch

The future is here and

Na we be the leader

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

[Verse 2: Olamide]

We’re here for something more

Reasonable not fighting

This movement is all about uprising

To me dem be like birthday cake

W ith no icing

More like a fine art teacher

With ugly writing

All thier old stories gat us

Doing like argh

And we gat voice

So we gat to create our own words

All they want is money and power

And make we call them my chair

That one na old method

This is brand new naija

Just dey know but don’t know

If they gat an idea

So fun won ki won gba gbe oshi

Nobody wey dem fit ride here

Wetin dem tell us is

The same thing

They told us past years

Past years

Past years

Past years

[Chorus: Olamide]

All the money in the world

Can make them rich but

It can never make

Them the leader

Dem fit get craze but

Dem no get witch

The future is here and na

We be the leader

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

[Verse 3: Terry Tha Rapman]

It’s like a jungle sometimes

That makes me wander

Keep me from going under

How i keep from going under

Put my faith in the lord

However e gats be

Coz nowadays i dey even fear

Police pass thief

Coz if you no drop the something

Them fit turn real nasty

And dem get guns like rambo

And dem fit just blast me

Politicians dey dey fight

Over oil fields

Leaving nothing for boy

Naija delta boys kill

From oil spill to blood spill

Na blood dey boil still

B A to N S is how the boys feel

Religious leaders wey we dey

Look up to for guidance

Use religion turn our head

They wan divide us

As they wan divide us

Just because we be minus

But,the more they try to kpai us

The more they multiply us

The first comes the mass

Killings and the silence

And all the government does

Is condemn the violence

Nonsense

[Chorus: Olamide]

All the money in the world

Can make them rich but

It can never make

Them the leader

Dem fit get craze but

Dem no get witch

The future is here and

Na we be the leader

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh

Boys are not smiling eh eh
