Verse
(Why e be say)
The way I living are not supposed to be the way you and I are still living
(Why e be say)
The leaders just dey chop money dey go because they think we all no dey see them
(Why e be say)
They took away our right and make silly promises, they want us to believe them
Why e be say some people too dey lie
Why e be say some people no dey try
Corruption na frustration na dey bring back condition is what we are feeling
(Why e be say)Some people just sit down, just dey look
Day and night they staring at the ceiling
(Why e be say)They look into our eyes and tell us say e go better while they are baggers still stealing
Why e be say some people too dey lie
Why e be say some people no dey try
I don die ei
Chorus
Why e be say anytime we want do wetin we go do
Or say wetin wey we go say (na big lie ei)
The wrong thing be say them no want make we dey do
Wetin we go do or say wetin wey we go say

Wetin we go do or say wetin wey we go say
Why e be say, the wrong thing be say but the right thing be say
Verse
(The wrong thing be say)
We dey dey fight dey try to kill each other
When we supposed to love one another
(The wrong thing be say)
Because them no dey go worship together
Every brother try to kill their fellow brother
(The wrong thing be say)
Even as we still dey dey suffer
We still dey try to rob one another
Why, my brother, why you dey chook eye for your brother
While the leaders dey dey chop wona bread and butter
In our society, make we dey try and live like one family
What a tragedy, with our wealth we still dey live in poverty
(The wrong thing be say)As poor ones dey hala, the rich ones dey hammer (yes o)
The wrong thing be say things dey scatter
The wrong thing be say we no dey bther
I don die ei
Repeat Chorus
Verse
Why e be say now, why e be say
See the wrong thing be say
But the right thing, the right thing, the right thing be say
All man supposed to get money, all man supposed to dey joli
(The right thing be say)
All man supposed to get motor, all man supposed to dey kolo
(The right thing be say)
We supposed to get energy and power, supposed to get better rod and mortar
Why e be say some people too dey lie
Why e be say some people no dey try
I don die
Repeat Chorus till fade
