To bring pain (people power)
You bring tears (people power)
You bring suffering (people power)
To my people (people power)
International motherfucker, eh
International motherfucker, eh
International motherfucker, eh
International motherfucker, eh
International motherfucker
To bring pain (people power)
You bring tears (people power)
You bring suffering (people power)
To my people (people power)
I say na so-so cheating from the (IMF)
So much lying from the (IMF)
So much stealing from the (IMF)
So much killing from the (IMF)
Manipulation from the (IMF)
Intimidation from the (IMF)
So much suffering from the (IMF)
Very dangerous people (IMF)
Dem and their World Bank brothers and some African fools
Dem go give them title, make dem come rule
Dem go say "Do as we tell you, lie to your people"
Dem go say "Do as we tell you, cheat your people"
Ode go say "IMF know what's best for me"
I tell the fool "IMF know, know what's best for me"
Jona' go say "IMF know what's best for me"
I tell am "IMF know, know what's best for me"
So dem go give one dollar to their boys, say na for we people
And will get back 20 in the name of debt from the people
We never see no dollar
My people (we never see no aid)
My people (we never see no dollar) (look, look)
(We never see no aid) (look, look, look)
Where the dollars at? Where the money go?
Say they talk fast, but they move slow
Pop champagne and make it rain
God down the drain, who feels the pain?
The president take the money and hide it
And celebrate while the people divided
Over here we call it, poverty pimpin'
The bootlicking, the people, the victim
Kissing the ass of white power
My people are coming for what's ours
Going all out 'cause it's now or never
Breaking the chain, we gon' sever
The head of the parasite, we taking it there tonight
Bad mother shut your mouth, yeah, you right
Excuse my French, the colonizer
Tricknologists, cheaters and liars
But we dey see all the pain wey dey come with their knowing
International mother shut your mouth
And we dey see all the debt and how we money dey fall down
International mother shut your mouth
Dem go pollute our land, call am foreign investment
International mother shut your mouth
Spread their lie through dem boys for government
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
International mother shut your mouth
International mother shut your mouth
International mother shut your mouth
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
See all the pain wey dey come with their knowing
International mother shut your mouth
And we dey see all the debt and how we money dey fall down
International mother shut your mouth
Dem go pollute our land, call am foreign investment
International mother shut your mouth
Spread their lie through dem boys for government
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
Make we dey ranju, make we dey begi o, make we dey feju
International mother shut your mouth
International mother shut your mouth
