"Go Slow" lyrics - FELA KUTI

Go slow, go slow

[Chorus:]
Go slow, go slow!

Go slow, go slow
Go slow, go slow
Go slow, go slow
Go slow, go slow

Man must be man for him land o
I say, man must be man for him land o
You must agree with me
Man must dey work for him land o
You must agree with me
Man must dey chop for him land o
You must agree with me

When go slow catch you for your house

[Chorus:]
Ole make e niyen!

When go slow catch you for your house
When go slow catch you for your house
When go slow catch you for your house

You dey make your business every day
Then your head start to ache
Because car crush dey for your head
Your nose start to run
Because water pour cool for your head
You dey cough cough every time
Because carbu air dey for your throat
You dey shaking shaking like a paper
Because your yansh cold like ice
Go slow catch you

[Chorus:]
Go slow, go slow!

Go slow don't come
Go slow, go slow
Go slow, go slow

You dey make your business every day
Then you buy your motor car
Or you join your public transport
Then you start to go for work
Then suddenly, suddenly, suddenly
Lorry dey for your front
Tipa dey for your back
Motorcycle dey for your left o
Taxi-moto dey for your right
Helicopter dey fly fly for your top o
You self don dey for cell
Go slow catch you

[Chorus:]
Go slow, go slow!

Go slow don't come
Go slow, go slow
Go slow, go slow
