Radio Off

I don off the radio
Radio off
Too much talk dey scatter the air
Scatter the air
My gate dey locked, my soup dey warm
Soup dey warm
Radio off, I dey rest

Dem dey analyse my matter
For programs I no dey watch
Panel of four wey never meet me
Dey debate my yesterday
My neighbour bring the summary
I thank am, I no collect
The pot dey boil on my own fire
That one na news I fit trust

Volume down, down, down
Volume down, down, down
My peace loud pass dem
My peace loud pass dem

I don off the radio
Radio off
Too much talk dey scatter the air
Scatter the air
My gate dey locked, my soup dey warm
Soup dey warm
Radio off, I dey rest

Dem say I don finish, dem say I don fall
The same week I buy the land
Dem say na juju, dem say na luck
Dem never say na four AM
My lawyer collect one letter
I frame the apology after
E dey hang beside the mirror
So I remember to smile

Off am
Radio off
Off am
Off am

The framed letter dey catch small light
Steam dey rise from the pot
My gate bell ring, I no answer
I dey water the tomato line
Dem no dey argue back
Rest na also work

I don off the radio
Radio off
Too much talk dey scatter the air
Scatter the air
My gate dey locked, my soup dey warm
Soup dey warm
Radio off, I dey rest
I dey rest o

Framed apology
Radio off
