'Basket Mouth' Lyrics by Freegeegaah
Intro:
I go dey talk talk talk o I go dey talk
Till when them hear word
Uhmm Uhmm
I tell you
For real
Freegeegaah live free and biggaah
Verse One:
Although the people no wan gree hear word
Because the truth no sweet like bitter leaf
So them spit the truth out and in the process they consumed lies
That were so sweet in their belly taste like honey
They take everything as a joke when nothing is funny
Them say me the freegeegaah no get anything to offer
Them come the suffer the hypnotism
The swim in the river of nepotism that they don't understand
Great men in the past were able to stand and fight the good fight
With the burning desire to redeem the ma**es
By spreading the good news
Yet their actions were condemned
And their words twisted with falsehood
For no reason. Why?
Chorus: 2x
My mouth don be like basket now
I go de speak everything them must hear
My mouth don be like basket now
I get mouth everywhere them go hear
Verse Two:
Living free in a free world
Is a legacy we need without breaking it but making it
And sharing the peace and love to live in harmony
My mind is sharpened like a double edge sword
Because i know that living in a free world brings joy to the poor, the rich, the weak and the strong
I feel high like i can fly like the birds in the air
Or like the gases in the atmosphere
Pa** me the s**shi the w***
Coz i need it in this crazy world we are living in
We give love in abundance and receive love more abundantly
Afterall givers never lack
To give is like bush rolled in a skin
And going round because of the babylon rotation
Let's be wise
Go back to chorus
Verse Three:
Stop the k**ing, Let there be healing
Everybody's gonna feel, brethen keeper, neighbour healer, friend helper
For we can only bond like a broom unbreakable in unity
Why do the good wanna get weak
Do nothing and let the evil prosper
Rise up, and be able to temper with all the risk
To be able to yield good fruit or turn to casper and regret (laughs)
Sometimes I think my country is Africa and my state is Nigeria
My local government Ekiti while my village is Ikere Ekiti
Africa, motherland, fatherland
So black and beautiful
I love Africa
Say it, open your mouth out loud and say 'I love Africa'
Go back to chorus
(Ignition of Peace)
Why do we choke and k** each other?
No peace from the north to the south, from the east to the west. Why?
The political powers are doing their own thing
More hardship and civil war
They don't care anymore. Why?
Why did we vote them, what are they there for?
Deception has caused poverty, children die of starvation
Only God can help us
THE END
