We all complain, that our lives for some reason are not what
They're meant to be, conveniently, we fail to see that you and me
We hold the keys, all the happiness we need, we've got within
Take it from me
We're all we need
Ifa kan o si n para oh (there's no oracle in the rafters)
Nobody's gonna make that dough for you
Nobody's gonna love your wife for you
Nobody's gonna live your life for you but all the same
Ifa kan o si n para oh (there's no oracle in the rafters)
Aimokan ni n dani laamu (ignorance is what causes troubles)
Now young people listen up cause I got a lot to say to you
Y'all need to realise comot the shades from your eyes and behold the truth
I understand the Fact that you're young
I understand we wanna have fun
It's understandable we wanna turn up, but
Ewo lo wa fa iwa abooran (so what's treason for the recalcitrance?)
Go to school, read your book, wahala
Johnny (or Shade) you gotta learn to cook, palaver
And then we step out of the house steady stunting
Afinju ita, but, obun ile (fresh boy outside, slob at home)
Ifa kan o si n para oh (there's no oracle in the rafters)
Nobody's gonna make that dough for you
Nobody's gonna love your wife for you
Nobody's gonna live your life for you but all the same
Ifa kan o si n para oh (there's no oracle in the rafters)
Aimokan ni n dani laamu (ignorance is what causes troubles)
No worries, brother, take life one step at a time and I promise you'll be fine
These days it looks like we're all headed down the drain
Stuck hearing noises from a world that's gone insane
But we can keep up, come on hold your chin up
You can always dance because you're not alone
Just get your life together-
-You gotta do that on your own
Generation of 140 characters
So ironic that so many have no character
Find it funny that we live on convenience and not necessity, tell me what we're gonna do
Too lazy to walk so we drive
Too lazy to talk so we type
Too lazy to love so we lie about our feelings and end up with one too many broken hearts
Ifa kan o si n para oh (there's no oracle in the rafters)
Nobody's gonna make that dough for you
Nobody's gonna love your wife for you
Nobody's gonna live your life for you but all the same
