FEMI KUTI: Truth Don Die

Femi Kuti - Truth Don Die

Truth don die O
Na yesterday him talk
Him want to travel for the world

To teach him people him word
The true word of God
Make people stop to lie
Say na lie spoil the world
If people stop to lie
Enjoyment go full the world
[CHORUS:]
If we stop to lie; enjoyment for world
If we stop to lie; good for world
If we stop to lie; honesty for world
If we stop to lie; truth for world
As him won come out of junction
Him no see Molue for him left
As him won come out of junction
Him no see trailer for him right

Na so the Molue jam am
Trailer mash am for head
Molue jam am
Trailer mash am for head
People gather
Dem come dey look am
Dem rush am Doctor
Him no fit save am
Mr. Doctor no fit save am
Na so truth come die O

Him come clear road for lie
Na lie lie full the world
Lie go dey jump from mouth
Like water rush from pump
The way people dey lie
Dem no dey fear dem God
The way people dey lie
Dem no dey fear dem Shrine
Dem just dey lie
Dem just dey lie O
Dem just dey lie

BEZ: Zuciya Daya (One Heart)

Bez - Zuciya Daya (One Heart)

She sits across the table

thoughts moving through her mind.

She knows I may be yearning, but then I have no say.

She stares with tears; She walks away.

She may be rich, I am not; And that alone just kills the dream.

“Don’t you worry about the thing she says we should both be happy we would be together forever”

“Don’t you worry about the thing she says we should both be happy we would be together”

And I’ll say these words,

Every little thing you do

Mu Bayar Da Zuciya Daya; Mu Bayar Da Zuciya Daya

“For you don’t know where it takes you to”

Mu Bayar Da Zuciya Daya Mu Bayar Da Zuciya Daya
