[M.anifest, Burna Boy - Another Story lyrics]
To understand Nigeria
You need to appreciate where it came from
In 1900
Britain officially assumed responsibility
For the administration of the whole of
What we now know as Nigeria
From the Niger Company
And then, gradually over the years
British protectorates were established
Throughout the territory in 1914
The protectorates were amalgamated
Into one Nigeria
Actually, there's one additional detail that
Bears mentioning in order
To take over the territories
From the Niger Company
The British Government paid 865
000 pounds a huge amount
In 1900 so let's establish a simple truth
The British didn't travel halfway across the
World just to spread democracy
Nigeria started off as a
Business deal for them
Between a company and
A government incidentally
The Niger Company is still around today only
It is known by a different name, unilever
But that's another story
(It's Kel-P vibes)
Ay!
They wanna tell you o, tell you o, tell you o
Another story o, story o, story o
Since 1960 them dey play us wayo
Shey we go dey cry forever more o

Sometimes I for dey move away, maybe a month
More or less, more yawa less people power
Same shit, Ghana - Naija, man tire
Stuck in traffic I dey hate delay
Big man get the motorcade
Big Benz and the Escalade
Hustle just dey escalate
But March 6, we go celebrate (Shh)
Every year be the same cock and bull
Propaganda you dey push no dey pull
E dey pain, people tire for this matter
Everyday for thief man, one day for master
"Efie ne fie", me ntumi 'nfrimu
Ɔman no sɛi aa, yɛn nyinaa yɛ ti mu
Ashi me aa, ashi me aa, ashi me aa
'Nso me ntumi 'nfrimu
They wanna tell you o, tell you o, tell you o

Since 1960 them dey play us wayo
Shey we go dey cry forever more o
