Kurunmi Is On the Way

Lately when we see them, they talk about change
They say it is their turn now to be leaders of the
people
Tell them I’ve been there many many times before
And no one can trick me with honey mouth again.
Lately when we meet them they flex their muscles
up
The talk about bravery and courage never seen
Tell them I know book o and heroes wey no beg
Real man na for action, no be for mouth o.
Here comes the fire-eating guy
My lord with arrows in his eyes and burning anger
Let no one stand in his way
This land will never be the same again.
Here comes the fire-spitting guy
Aare Kurunmi is on the way with his sword of
justice
Warn all the liars and pretenders
The day of reckoning is here, beware!
Lately when we see them, they talk about their
conquests
The many battles fought in the trenches for your
rights
If you ask for evidence na award you go see
And many many honours from foreign bodies o.
See them on the street now preaching to the
crowd
The true test of a leader is to lead right in front
And be responsible when things go wrong
No be to dey run and make excuse o.
Children you will learn and you must never forget
The past is full of heroes from whom we can
learn
And real lessons to guide us today
Many many stories to make us proud too.
Lately when we meet them they count up their
losses
The pains and the scars of their vain struggle o
Kurunmi lost five sons all in a day
But he never wavered till the very last stand
Okunrin ogun ni Kurunmi o, ki s’ojo
Akinkanju ni Kurunmi o, ki s’ole
