Watchout by BANTU (Crew) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ade Bantu]
Dem a bad to di bone Satan dem clone
Man no get conscience dem blackheart a cold
See di way dem trick di sufferer wit dem blindfold
So my sold out yo Bantu must shout
Educate dem brethren dat fill up with Stout
Say it’s time fi simmer down sober up now
Too may fly a dance around disturbing cow
See dem play with reasoning while elders dem bow
What a happen to di days of di glorious Mau-Mau’s
When di warriors rise up from bondage wit a vow
Never will a man curtail dem freedom
If dem ever should dare then dem feel di storm
Of a people dat a rush down holding dem gun
Ready to defend dem right as a human
Right over wrong you know the song
Fling up unno lighter time fi burn
[Chorus: Ade Bantu]
Dem a cemetery duppy copy
Watchout, watchout
Cash n’ carry revolutionary
Watchout, watchout
Military gangster lobby
Watchout, watchout
Traders of we people agony
Y’all watchout, watchout
[Verse 2: Ade Bantu]
Pyramids and kingdoms dem build on di back an di toil of di sufferers
Higher, higher
Dat a why i & i commoner refuse to celebrate any empire
Drum beaters investigate before you celebrate
Operate in a quest fi di truth like a likkle youth
I man hafi call name in dis dem power game
Time fi stone dem wit shame
Aim 35 years Eyadema Togo president in power
See di way him dribble constitution, rig election Intimidate any form of opposition
Nuff man a look down the muzzle of a gun
Turn to Nigeria problems gwan
Tings still di same since di days of Gowon
Army officers and dem coup d’etas
Penkelemesi politricians wit big cars
All dem wann do is dig deep oil money
Never satisfied till we treasury a empty
Then dem look innocent an say dem no know
Where 55 billion Dollars run go
Pull calculator inject di number
Ten you have di answer why Blackman dey suffer
[Chorus: Ade Bantu]
Dem a cemetery duppy copy
Watchout, watchout
Cash n’ carry revolutionary
Watchout, watchout
Military gangster lobby
Watchout, watchout
Traders of we people agony
Y’all watchout, watchout
[Verse 3: Ade Bantu]
Dem go start war in di name of we people
Revolutionary council a dem new name an’ title
Dem go claim say dem hol gun fi mash down corruption
Changedi government and dem fake institution
Recruiting children as soldier fi di battle
Innocent souls dem force to do evil
Conflict generals a tuning new diamond merchants Every advancement are a new mining plant
Cash blood democrazy that a dem currency
Bad man wey hold gun no give no apology
Di burning an di raping an di looting sweet dem pass
Times a crucial can’t be partial
Know your enemies an observe dem ways
Say we can leave di idiot leaders to dictate di pace
Saro Wiwa and Nkrumah turning in dem graves
So beat di drums gather we best
Each one must teach one no time fi rest
Can’t rest, can’t rest, can't rest
[Chorus: Ade Bantu]
Dem a cemetery duppy copy
Watchout, watchout
Cash n’ carry revolutionary
Watchout, watchout
Military gangster lobby
Watchout, watchout
Traders of we people agony
Y’all watchout, watchout
Dem a bad to di bone Satan dem clone
Man no get conscience dem blackheart a cold
