Lyrics
Verse 1
Naira dey run like NEPA light, on and off, on and off
Big man dey chop for table, small man dey wait for scoff
I no fit fold my hand and watch as the whole thing bend
Who dey waste 9ja, tell them make dem come defend
Chorus
Who dey waste 9ja o, who dey waste am so
Every day wahala, every night dem dey glow
We go ask the question till the answer come show
Who dey waste 9ja, na the same people we go know
Verse 2
From Warri to Wuse, na the same tin dem dey do
Promise wella for morning, by evening na blue-blue
I no get anger for una, I just get one small song
Play it for the danfo, play it loud, play it long
Bridge
Mama tell me "shine your eye, no let dem shine for you"
Papa tell me "work your hand, na that one go pull you through"
So I dey sing for the people wey dey hustle every day
Who dey waste 9ja go answer, one sweet day
