My body de pain me;
My pocket de leak;
Must one like soap which diminishes because he wants to make one clean, be impoverished because he wants to serve his people?
My body de pain me;
My pocket de leak;
Daily people walk up to me to make financial demands they cannot make of Dangote;
Honorable Money for malaria drugs;
Honorable My children have not eaten;
Honorable My house rent has expired;
Honorable My dead wife, mother, grandfather, will be buried;
Honorable My car knocked engine.
My sin? I printed poster;
I joined a political party;
I offered to serve.
My body de pain me;
My pocket de leak;
Nobody asks if I am an armed robber;
a kidnapper;
a Yahoo boy;
All they want is a pound of flesh;
All they want is to be fed off my campaign money.
My body de pain me;
My pocket de leak;
Those without PVC;
Of no electoral value extort the most;
Refuse to be blackmailed, they run you down with their mouth full of cheap Palm wine at the market square.
My body de pain me;
My pocket de leak;
Political parties mere business centers;
Worse than naira bet or bet9ija
All asking and giving nothing but logo for the Aspirant to slog it out.
My body de pain me;
My pocket de leak;
But I am limping strong;
I am crying in the rain to run to the finishing line;
My body de pain me;
My pocket leaks more than a basket full of water.
