[Intro: Femi Falana, SAN]
What we have here now is almost a lackadaisical, no, laissez-faire political system
Anybody can do what he likes and the more you steal, the less the punishment today
Armed robbery is on the increase
Because of unemployment
Because of poverty in the midst of plenty
Because of frustration of the youths
Because of general disenchantment and a state of hopelessness

Kritikal o, Kritikal
Situation
Kritikal o, Kritikal
Wetin we dey face
If e no be government
E go be citizen (ye)
If e no be money matter o
E go be racism, ah ahn
You see oga Titus, we go like to fight for our rights but owu dey bite us o
Kritikal o, Kritikal, ah ah ah ah ye

Rent is due, I need to pay

If e no be ah ah ahn
If e no be
If e no be one thing, e go be another
[Outro: Atedo Peterside]
The youths have to take their country back themselves
They are the voters
Those who are sixty-five and above, we are only five percent of the population
Ninety-five percent must organize tactfully
And throw the five percent to the back seat, where they belong

(Wake them up)
