Promise Season from Election Day by Avit

Promise season, e be the Promise season
It’s time to reason

Dem go tell you this, tell you that
Change the economy and that’s a fact
Abi you know the reason; E be promise season
Dem go tell you this, tell you that
Change the economy and that’s a fact
Abi you know the reason; E be promise season

Just yesterday another one came my way
Can’t remember where, you know we dey move everyday
Then proceeded to ask this stupid question
His name you know I cannot mention
Truthfully, Ignorance he displayed yh it over me
I wanted to vex and show it vocally
But more wisdom to listen so I never speak
He asked me what little change would you want to see in your country
You should have seen my face
I wonder this man, where does he stay
You no dey feel what dey happen around we
He came in a v8
He uses the same road wey we dey use then
But, he doesn’t feel it
And our money dey fix when dem get problem


But they tell you this, tell you that
Change the economy and that’s a fact
Abi you know the reason; E be the promise season
Dem go tell you this, tell you that
We go change the economy and that’s a fact
Abi you know the reason; E be the promise season

One day they make up all these big promises
Next time we hear the ting dem die
Some man dem go invest in poultry
Next time we hear the ting dem fly
I’m nobody don’t deserve no apologies
But I have to ask you why
Do you play with us like it’s a fucking lottery
While some people lose their lives
No way, Big man, Sir, I say no way
I cannot vote for you for free
Unless you make some kind of pay
The thing be serious, that’s how we be voting for some genius
And when they win they never see us
This thing be serious yh
This thing be serious, that’s how we be voting for some idiot
And when they win they never see us
This thing be serious
Come to constituency and spray more currency

And tell us this, tell us that
Change the economy and that’s a fact
Abi you know the reason; E be promise season

Dem go tell you this, tell you that
We go change the economy and that’s a fact
Abi you know the reason; E be promise season
