No Blame Them  (Femi Kuti)

Ignoramus, jealousy, bad belle o
Na him dey worry dem

As we go our own
CHORUS: Go our own
As we finish building the New Africa Shrine
CHORUS: New Africa Shrine
We no dey rest
CHORUS: We no dey rest
We still try to give the people our very best
CHORUS: Our very best
Na so dem dey vex

CHORUS: Na so dem dey vex
Dem want to spoil our progress
CHORUS: Our progress
Dem say I mad
Dem say I craze
I parade my nakedness around the town
Press man want to press me down
Dem want to spoil my own
But but but

CHORUS:
I don’t care what they say
Let them say what they may
Na me dey the way I dey
 Nothing change the way I dey
It don tey wey dem say
Na one day dem go pay

But you see I no go blame dem
CHORUS: No blame dem o
See as him stand and him want
To call himself journalist

CHORUS: No blame them o
Where may don die
To uphold this important profession
CHORUS: No blame them o
Him want spoil dem credibility
By passing wrong information
CHORUS: No blame them o
Black mail extortion
Na dem mode of operation
CHORUS: No blame them o
See how this cheap hustler
Wan spoil me he wan spoil me
Ignoramus, jealousy, bad belle o
Na him dey worry dem
