Abami Eda!You travelled to the land of the spirit
21 years ago today,we are still celebrating you
Olufela Olusegun Anikulapo-Kuti,Baba 70 of Africa….
Our dear Alaafin of Ikeja,we shall continue to mourn you
Vagabonds are still in power in Nigeria.
Legislooters are still padding our national budgets
Muhammadu Buhari is now back as our President
Army Arrangement?Confusion Break Bone?
Overtake Don Overtake Overtake? Suffering & Smiling?
You’ve now joined our African ancestors
To fellowship with gods with peace
Felasophy,Felabration,Fela was indeed a good fella!
The authentic Chief Priest of our own African Shrine
Beasts of no nation suffocate us with a filthy wealth
Yeepa!Authority stealing pass armed robbery
Many coffins for the Head of State
Filled with dead bodies of the oppressed people
Your Afro-beat liberated many souls
You risked your life for our freedom
You spoke the bitter truth to power
Fela!You’re the greatest musician in Africa!
Fela lives forever in many hearts
Abami Eda,Baba Ogostine,Baba Eleniyan
Peace,peace and perfect peace for Baba 70
Sun re oooo Olufela Omo Kuti.
