NEW VIDEO: Samini - Ghana Petrol

Filo: You may not rate the video very high, but Samini’s Ghana Petrol has a message which is pertinent to Ghana’s emerging oil industry and is a peep into the degradation experienced in the Niger Delta since the discovery of the so called ‘black gold’

Kiyo: Feel the lyrics;

Chorus

I see sey them they come oo

Ghana get petrol so they want to come and control

Them they come oo oy

Africa get oil so them don't want to live ma soil

Them they come oo

Ghana get petrol so they want to come and control

Them they come oo oy

Africa get oil so them don't want to live ma soil

Verse 1

Everybody know the world is living in recession

And i wonder why them still want to come around recession

This is like 21st century oppression

I look at it and i have my own objection

Burn them naughty vice and burn them corruption

I feel like this is outright interruption

Dogs are coming in

I can feel them hawks coming in

Mafias and Dons are coming in the towns are dobling

We no wants no guns are popping in

Know sey we no want no trouble

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2

Alright again, we have seen it in the Niger Delta

Those who live there don't have no clothes and shelter

Darfur, Sudan, Congo, Angola, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan

We no want to see non of that thing that we learnt

Saddam lost his head to Bush

Osama remains a mystery to them history books

Babylon is thirsty for oil

So any time them smell it them show up in them safety boots

ooh ou oh uh yey ah

We see them and we know them

So we don't want them around here

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

Mr investor, i need my fair share percentage

You ripping me off

With your machine advantage you make my cocoa beans rot for port

You steal my gold

Now you want to drink and drill for free

Let's just get realistic

Listen, make i drill my own thing and mind my business

If i was the president i won't agree with them

With them percentage and them cheat system

This has what you want gree with them

We want to deal with them

We are the landlord keeping them

I know you hear me loud and clear

Me am the voice of the people living in the oil recession

Repeat Chorus (2x)
