Lyrics for Democracy by DaGrin
Intro:
Corruption ti hit nation
Gbogbo wa la n live in desperation
Tori ‘e n’mo se n drink medication
Fun protection against starvation pelu corruption
Tori generation yii, a need salvation
Through a strong constitution

E joo e stop sensation
A need action ko n se prosecution
Free/Fair pelu alaafia ninu nation
E gbo nnkan ti mo fe so
eleyii ‘o nse body vibration
(Clear throat)
