Femi Kuti - After 24 Years Lyrics

24 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

Eleven thousand, eight hundred and thirty six elected officials
Ye e ye
And thousands of more selected beneficials
Ye e ye
Rotating themselves and bleeding the country dry
Ye e ye
Playing politics with our lives
Ye e ye

Democracy at all cost
But love for country them lost
These politicians their own worse
Their matter be like curse

You see joining politics
Was their ambition
Corruption
Was their intention
To steal and get rich quick
Was their mission
Greediness
Was their motivation

So 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

Abi o
These politicians
Them don bastardize the economy
These politicians
Them don bastardize the country

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

Abi o o o
Them don bastardize the country
Abi o o o
Them don bastardize the economy
Abi o o o
