Too much Grammar


Oyinbo grammar na im dey cause palava,
Na grammar trouble we dey o,
Grammar don take-over;
Bifor you talk small thin for mouth,
Na so you go dey hear:
Rationalization, development plan,
Commercialization, conditionalities,

Na soso grammar, oyinbo too much.
Anytime we get big problem,
Na so dem dey scatter de grammar,
Make you lef de grammar o,
Whosai, dem no go gree:
Mobilization, Trade liberalization,
Restructuring nko?

Kai! Dem jus dey pepper de grammar,
But, e dey sweet dem for mouth sha,
Dis grammar sef, see how dem dey twist am:
Promissory notes, Privatisation, Debt rescheduling.

Na so dem dey run from de problem,
Problem come borku, grammar borku.
Dis grammar sef don dey block my ear o,
But man never belleful sha,
Grammar no fit belleful us o,

E blow all de grammar wey dey for dico finis,
Chineke! Dem just dey pieces de grammar,
Food too dey cost, grammar borku:
Dat one na consumer’s Resistance,
Abi na Buyer’s market?

Ba turanchi, na chop I wan chop.
pickins nefer go school
Oyinbo grammar don dey too much o!
Make we siddon tackle de problem,
Comot hand for de yeye grammar,
My broda, all de one wey you talk so
Nefer reach us o;
Remember say man must wack,
Grammar without action na one kain wahala.
