Man Know Man Songtext
von BANTU

Na man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be
Man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be

No food for lazy man
No time for dreamers
Move on in line and join the money worshippers
Cause Lagos na survival
Lagos na hustle
For Èkó Àkéte dem go chop you if you humble
O ya, shine shine your eye
Better flex your muscle
You can make it with no trouble
If you sell your soul to devil

Na man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be
Man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be


Stranded in poverty praying for better
Hardworking people dey land inside gutter
No money to feed - thousands of beggars
No money for rent – thousands of squatters
But government go dey demolish scatter dey go
Housing na human right but not in E′ko'

Na man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be
Man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be

Lasgidi big city of lies
Home of the bling that don′t hear no cries
Disappointment and pain you give
Heartache and sorrow, lots of grief
Your stress and tension wearing us out
Nowhere to run in this times of drought
So we hold on hoping for the best
Double the hustle we refuse to rest
Life's a dice a big big gamble
What's the choice when you neck deep in trouble
Survival they say the faith of the poor
What you gonna do when they knock on your door?


Na man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be
Man know man for Megacity
No pity for poverty survival get as e be

Èkó Àkéte, ìlú ọgbọ́n
Ọmọ má lọ nà gẹ̀rẹ̀
Èkó Àkéte, ìlú ọgbọ́n
Better you safe make you shine your eye
Èkó Àkéte, ìlú ọgbọ́n
When they tell you make you look back o
Everyday and night boys dey hustle
Everyday and night girls dey hustle
Even man and woman dey waka for street
Dem dey look for something to chop o
Man know man survival get as it be
