Makafability Sankofa - Pick Pockets Lyrics

Watch demma come inna election time
All demma try fi tell is a pure lie
Demma chat this and demma chat that
But all me here is a fiti fiti fiti fitifi.
Demma picking the picking the pocket
Picking the picking the pocket
Demma picking the picking the pocket
You no see seh Demma picking the picking the pocket
Democracy was supposed to be made of the people
Made by the people
And made for the people
But reality shown it's against the people
Ask the people and they will tell you
Apparently, you get to choose who nails your coffin
Whether Mr. Blue or Mr. Green you probably thinking
No discussion
They're both stealing from the Nation
Two wings of the same Vulture killing our future.
Picking the picking the pocket
Picking the picking the pocket
Demma picking the picking the pocket
You no see seh Demma picking the picking the pocket
Vote for me
Vote for me
So your life go Bee
But what we dey see be daylight robbery
Only poor people everyday dem dey grieve
While you alone dey enjoy with your family
Need some Greens
'Tweaaaa' we no go gree
Got deceived
One District One Factory
Talk to me what's happened to the Economy
Ecominy, suna koo miniini
Dollar up, fuel up, Cedi down below
Got paid last week got nothing to show
In order to survive seems I have to take a loan
Take some bribes
That's the only way to go
Se eye abro
Se bayie ooo
I don't even know
Dabi dabi ebeyeyie nti yetua dampoo
Hundred and twenty three ministers
Oohh hooo
Bus branding Three Million
Oohh hooo
Picking the picking the pocket
Picking the picking the pocket
Demma picking the picking the pocket
You no see seh Demma picking the picking the pocket
The revolution won't be televised
Poor people sick and tired of all the promises and the lies
Now they rise
Fighting to defend their rights
Laying the lives for the future of the child
National pride ain't nothing cool no more
National Pie eaten by a few of course
The Elephant trampling on everything we've got
Umbrella saying protection but ain't enough
Protecting a few, the rest of us life is tough
The lights are out
Meanwhile the bills are up
We need support
But they're all just corrupt
We wising up
Then you know your time is up
Picking the picking the pocket
Picking the picking the pocket
Demma picking the picking the pocket
You no see seh Demma picking the picking the pocket
Playing the blame game
Driving citizens insane
Different colour, different speech
But they're all the same
That's the shame
So-called leaders of the State
Makes mistakes and can't even take the blame
Pocket
Picking Pocket
Pocket
