• Water No Get Enemy

To ba fe lo weh omi lo- malo <>
If you wan go wash- water you go use

Toba fe sobeh omi lo- malo
If you wan cook soup- water you go use

To ri ba ngbona omi lero lero
If your head be hot- water it cool am

Tomo ba ngagda omi lo- malo
If your child dey grow- water you go use

If water kill your child- water you go use
Tobi ba bwi nao homi lo- malo

Ko sohun tole se ko ma lomi- o
Nothing without water (repeat this couplet)

****
*[CHORUS] WATER, IT NO GET ENEMY - [AFTER EACH LINE]
Oh me a water-o
No go fight am, unless you wan die
I say water No get enemy
No go fight am, unless you wan die
O me a water-o
O they talk of Black-man power
O they talk of Black power, I say
I say water No get enemy
No go fight am, unless you wan die
I say water No get enemy
I say water No get enemy
O me a water-o
O me a water-o

WATER NO GET ENEMY: EXPLANATION

The "water" is the Nigerian common people. The Government/Military must not make enemies of the populous, nor disturb their "flow" (endevours & routines)- as it is dangerous to make an enemy of the country's most essential resource. The people make everything happen.

Nothing exists without water
Water does not gain enemies
because if you fight (renounce)water, you will die

Power cannot exist without the people…
