“Na Bigmanism Spoil Government” Lyrics by Femi Kuti

We do not criticize government because we want government to fail
We criticize government because we want government to stop and change their bad ways
Many join politics for selfish reasons and their personal gain
Is why to the people they bring so much suffering, hunger and pain
We the people must understand as citizens
We are part of government
And as citizens, we the people give government officials empowerment
When government officials start to think that they’re better pass we the citizens
Bigmanism done enter the equation, government done start to lose their common sense

Na bigmanism spoil government (Come on, tell them, let them hear, let them change)
Na bigmanism spoil government (Come on, tell them, let them change their ways)
Na bigmanism spoil government (Bigmanism, bigmanism, bigmanism)
Na bigmanism spoil government (Oya, one, two, three)

It’s afrobeat, it’s grooving, ah
