Burna Boy & M.anifest - Another Story Lyrics

Intro: Jide Olanrewaju
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)

Chorus: Burna Boy

Chorus: Burna Boy

Verse 2: M.anifest
Which kind country be this? chale I conf
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
