Lyrics

Brute force and ignorance
The bitterest truth is better than the sweetest lies
Too early or too late
Learn to keep learning and learning chale?
Wish I coulda seen ya, but the money wasn't there
Papaye
Baby Alloy, all grown up
Baby Alloy, cheeky chancer
Baby Alloy

You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what's your punishment
You've gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance?
Rustle up the advocates for some good old retribution
Duty calls, you did your job under no illusions
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Think say I don drown? You go find me oga
You go jump in the van, or you go run, na your own choice
We still they around
Puff, puff cigar like tomorrow no dey come
Take your mama's love or light a couple bombs
Set off or prepare when the retribution comes
Stab your brother
Patience is the fear
Love each other
Render insincere
Render insincere

You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what's your punishment
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

To a plain Jane, I'm playing sane
Holding back the madness new trend
I'm tica-tica-tying up my loose ends
And I hope he's worth more when he's lifeless
A hit of a dark shade of hazel
At last at last my appraisal
Put the body and the mind on the table
With your favourite song playing on the radio

You dip your fingers in the water
You wonder what's your punishment
You've gotten all your things in order
But what is your significance?
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
