"Shebi you no dey hear?
I say make you just listen small—na juju.
No be jazz oh! Na Sunny Ade type groove,
Guitar dey cry like say e get heartbreak too.
But she hiss,
Flick braids like lightning,
Roll eye like thunder—

Onome wants those songs
Where they fall in love in three days
And knack every night

Where they don't use aso’ ebi
Just white
And don’t even pay bride price

That sounds like a folk tale
And white lies
Onome wants romantic music
But will dance to juju for the right price.
