Dem Dey Lie by BANTU (Crew) Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2010

[Intro: Ade Bantu]
Fellow countrymen and women please bear with us our president is on French leave

[Chorus: Sound Sultan]
Dem dey lie o funny how my people don’t realise
Dem dey lie o when they tell us lies i recognise
Dem dey lie o funny how my people don’t realise
Dem dey lie o when they tell those lies i recognise

[Verse 1: Ade Bantu]
I can see it in your eyes
Your promises ain’t nothing but big lies
Your talk echoes sweet but your actions are so so bitter Nothing has improved and nothings getting better
I’ve given up my hope in you
Your poli-tricks ain’t nothing new

[Chorus: Sound Sultan]
Dem dey lie o funny how my people don’t realise
Dem dey lie o when they tell us lies i recognise
Dem dey lie o funny how my people don’t realise
Dem dey lie o when they tell those lies i recognise
[Verse 2: Sound Sultan]
Omo no give us tasere
Caus you know we’ve been for a while
We still dey here kampe leaders no dey want see us smile
Dem they run away, run away, dey run away, run away
Dey run away, run away from the truth
Dey run away, run away, dey run away, run away
Dey run away, run away from the truth
We dey wonder when will the truth come to pass
Since the days of Awolowo we dey wonder
When will the leaders tell the truth?

[Chorus: Sound Sultan]
Dem dey lie o funny how my people don’t realise
Dem dey lie o when they tell us lies i recognise
Dem dey lie o funny how my people don’t realise
Dem dey lie o when they tell those lies i recognise

[Verse 3: Ade Bantu]
No matter what they say and no matter what they do
We know that you’re false and you cyan’t be true
No matter what they say and no matter what they do
We know that you’re false and you cyan’t be true
Who you trying to fool with your fake compassion
When you’re millions miles away from my frustration
[Chorus: Sound Sultan & Ade Bantu]
Dem dey lie o you can’t feel my pain
Dem dey lie o dem dey lie o who you trying to fool
Dem dey lie o dem go lie for di war dem go lie for di wealth Dem go lie for di east dem go lie for di west
