Collateral Damage Lyrics

[Verse 2]
Na who, na who dey here?
Money dey here
The thiefi-thiefi come major
Wey make the suffer come dey here?
Suffer yapa mukutun, brukutum
Wey dey make people sukun
Tukutum, won ni inu won o dun
Brukutum, suffer yapa mutukum
The people do you well-well
And dem dey laugh you well-well
And dem dey see as e dey shele
Them sef dey flenjor well-well
Yeah-yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah, oh
My people suffer well-well
Police dey slap here well-well
Hungry dey wire dem well-well
Oluwa, Oluwa, Oluwa, Oluwa, Oluwa

[Chorus]
Oya dey there, oh
Ambassador go dey chop (Dey there, oh)
And Governor go dey chop (Dey there, oh)
And President go dey chop (Dey there, oh)

Dem dey say, "Make we jump", we go jump (Dey there, oh)

[Verse 3]
My people serve they fear too much
We fear the thing we no see

Fight for your right, oh, you go dey fear
Police go slap you, you go dey fear
Fight for your pikin dem, you go dey fear
You go dey fear, fear, fear

And Governor go dey chop (Dey there, oh)
And President go dey chop (Dey there, oh)

Some people go somersault (Dey there, oh)
Dem go dey get headache no go drink Panadol (Dey there, oh)
Meanwhile president go dey chop (Dey there, oh)
And Governor go dey chop (Oya, dey there, oh)

[Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
