CHICKEN NO DEY CRY FOR NIGHT Lyrics

We never been woke

Any cock crowing, we shot with catapult

It was quite foggy (Foggy)

Last night a mad drunk had come by me

And the few association boys (Woo woo woo)

He begged for nuts

My first sergeant somersaulted both to the ground

That made sure they swam

The scent from plantain, some blunt rolls

Shisha that simmered and rice that jollof

Might have been what rsvp our hideout

From the first honking of police sirens

Our snitching kid's banger up N.E.P.A

Dodging our regular customers

Even bush rats will be proud of the swerve

We pulled on the fence till this day

I mean he wasn't the only, to survive on his wits

The epiphany of peacocks

Just that our feathers weren't given

The right tools to blossom

You talking gibberish

Divulging your father's wealth secrets

Without to some wet pussy to ice the cake

So, when his skull started bleeding

Imagine the comic relief

Who knows, maybe if he wasn't the seventh son yeah

The seventh of fourteen but two of a max three

In a village setting set in the middle of nowhere

Things would have pan out different

To be honest

His Nigerian father thought he was doing us a favor

By laying eggs he won't be here to fend for

From his ugly lips

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo ayo)

No crown upon his crown

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo ayo)

A crowd on the prowl

We continued coding with slangs off yoruba

Urhobo, sometimes mixing hausa

Them no born you well to judge our mechanical accuracy

Mostly we backbenched any schoolishness

Picking jokes off our hats

Whenever the class needed a trick

Life itself na cruise and my father's 406 was snuff

To put me as the apex predator that blew your minds

And everything was just about to change

As my stare left the steering wheel

Setting sail on a star amma finna cast

See my career as a rapist

Was floating with no obstruction

Two doggone years outta uni

You can tell I'm fallen slowly in love

With my political damnation

Rather than job hunt

My vocal cords on success

Had started drifting whenever I braked up on your lane

And every chance I keep getting

I miseducated you with Tupac-s

One was through hook or crook let's collide

Against these bands

By emptying passengers' cheddars and harmlessly

Mo'cheddah flared

As we chauffeured from Agege

But dumping their slavery ass at Ilupeju junction

It was goddamn poetic

The other was rather invigorating my consciousness

To bundle ritualists

Who raised the standard living of ecstasy

To board this spaceship, is to lay here with mosquitos

To audition new stars

Whom we tore through

As we baked in a crescent moon

Like they've ever provided us

With the textbooks

To feed their little minds as we nursed them

Some boy bumped

Camel toe or codeine, wetin I go swallow for stress relief as

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo, ayo)

From her beautiful lips as we emptied up it's fragrance, abeg

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo, ayo)

Stripping your ghetto naked, for mata wey no even concern me but

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo, ayo)

On my shoulder

And almost let it rip off its collarbone

He ran he ran, we chased we chased (We chased)

We finally found the supplier of our sorrows

And no, you wrong it's not high tariff

This was onitsha

The rules had applied to aba market

Computer village lagos, and kurmi market for kano

So, understand I'll be given a special treat in their heart (In their heart)

If I caught him

We loved we were barbarians

We thirsted for blood on our hands

Just as we do egusi on our nails

Then fate smiled (Fate smiled)

The concrete of the gutter had been slacking

For God so loved our world that he'd

Entertained our stale hearts with warmth

The young man didn't want to want to dine with us

And now we could

Rigmarole and lick every bit of his puddle of tears

Who the f is you to tell us he isn't a thief

He isn't an (Ole, ole, ole)

Oga no pity me yeah, no pity me yeah and bring the nail

Push rocks and still use rock to pluck my eyes

Make I point where to pour petrol, no be so

To the earth why not return to use

My ash as your caller tune, dial zero, dial

Just because (Just because, just because, just because)

Just because I move 500 naira from iya peppers

Bash, wipe, gimme hot slap for my face

Play me for ground like say no be woman born me

Play me for felele until my tummy less

Grind me for real criminal ja'are

My twice removed cousin wey too like beans

All cus I tried replenish, a quarter of minimal wage bill

Boil your two kobo and melt am for my forehead

Still, hug Aro baggers (Baggers)

Kiss Eiye frat boys (Woo woo woo)

Show Buccaneers the other room

Once to knack for night and konji still dey your blood

Stroll to the uncompleted building wey jazz

Make me reside and pop me belle

And if dey ask I no go fit talk say na rape

E sweet you, e sweet your corn

This pepper dey burn my vagina to pieces

But na only shekau dem supposed to carry go mental clinic

Wrinkle my shrouds take clean nyash (Yeah)

Use rusted cutlass take set my aura free (My aura)

And if I've not ghosted by now

Step on my chest tighter

Heave ho, and dance galala till my soul cut-out

I no go longer worry about mumcy diabetes

I know heart attack is the next curse on our doormat

I need a rapist to spit on my carcass

I need a counterfeiter to keep on keeping on

Trademarking my struggle with a hiss

See I know, I deserve my sliced breasts that you pawned

To hushpuppi on the gram

And lowkey mary kay to conceal all your damnation

I'll be back when insomnia crows again

Jehovah-nissi

Eventually replaced the 5 thou I did take that got me skinned

As I parte after parte in heaven

Ooh la la, if you make the cut to the recipe

From his beautiful lips

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo, ayo)

A crown upon his crown

Chicken no dey cry for night (Ayo, ayo)

See we still dey cry for night, nature still dey kill us chop

Before the owner show so, I go declare my heart

Camel toe and codeine, and still my stress lives on

Chicken no dey cry for night
