(Flute crying softly)
Omo, life no be play play.
Retson, abeg make you hear.
See gobe, see wahala everywhere.
Retson Tedheke, man wey sabi farm,
E dey sweat for sun, e dey face de harm.
NFGCS farm estate, e get big dream,
But Naija wahala dey flow like stream.
Business for dis place, e be like war,
Market dey tight, person no fit score.
Everyday struggle, e dey tire person,
Na wetin we dey face, na em be de lesson.
Retson, de burden e too heavy,
Nigeria business, e dey steady steady.
Obstacles mountain, e no get eend,
But we dey push, till de road go meend.
Retson, de struggles dey deep for heart,
We dey survive, even when e start to smart.
CRA Farmers Forum, na your domain,
But see how de economy dey give us pain.
Diesel price high, transportation cost,
Profit e vanish, everything dey lost.
Small business owner, e dey find survival,
Waiting for miracle, for de next arrival.
But you hold de ground, you no fit japa,
Even when de system want make us papa.
Retson, de burden e too heavy,
Nigeria business, e dey steady steady.
Obstacles mountain, e no get eend,
But we dey push, till de road go meend.
Retson, de struggles dey deep for heart,
We dey survive, even when e start to smart.
(Violin solo, deep and sorrowful)
Chai, person pikin, life no fair.
We dey hustle, but de road no clear.
Talking drum dey beat, like e dey cry for we,
Retson, keep de faith, keep de soul free.
Retson, you be leader, you be example,
Dis sacrifice, e no be sample.
Every farm produce, na sweat and blood,
Survival for Naija, e be like flood.
But we no go fold, we no go break,
For de sake of farmers, for goodness sake.
Retson, de burden e too heavy,
Nigeria business, e dey steady steady.
Obstacles mountain, e no get eend,
But we dey push, till de road go meend.
Retson, de struggles dey deep for heart,
We dey survive, even when e start to smart.
(Tuareg flute fading)
Retson, hold tight.
Naija struggle, e no go las.
We go reach der, soonest.
Keep the fire burning.
E no easy, but we dey.
