'Maritemishenibe' by Gbade Adetisola is a song that addresses the current economic situation of our dear motherland, Nigeria. Gbade laid emphasis on the fact that 'E go better' which means change will come is the language that has been continually used since he was born until now.
Anyways, even when it seems like it's not yet better, Gbade puts his trust in God and assures himself with the word of God which says 'when others say there is a casting down, we will say there is a lifting up' and positively decrees that no matter what is going on around, he will surely make it.
You will too.
make this your declaration:
'IF NAIRA RISE OR DOLLAR FALL, MARITEMISHENIBE'.
SONG LYRICS
Verse 1E go better, e go better, since I was small
E go better, e go better, now I Don old
Monkey dey work, na baboon dey chop
The matter Don tey, when e go stop
Na soso tori we dey hear
Man Don try man no dey tire
Man Don pray, man Don refire
Jehovah dey, He dey answer prayer
One day one day, e go turn to laughter
No matter what I have made a decision
A decision (this is it…)
Chorus:
If naira rise or dollar fall
Maritemisenibe
If fuel scarce or fuel dey
Maritemisenibe
Soldier go, soldier come
Maritemisenibe
At all at all, I go dey alright.
Maritemisenibe
No matter how e hard reach oh
Maritemisenibe
I go see my own comot for there
Maritemisenibe
Everywhere I go, blessing dey follow
Maritemisenibe
I go chop the fruit of this land, Jowo!
Maritemisenibe
Verse 2:
As time dey go, I come dey see
No be by power, no be by hustle
Man dey plant, man dey water
Na only God dey give the increase
So your circumstances no really follow
E nor follow… (this is it)
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
If your wallet empty oh
And your Bae leave you
You go dey alright
Arami, you go dey alright
If your landlord dey para oh
Oga boss dey plan to fire oh,
You go dey alright
Ore, you go dey alright
Only believe oh (because Baba ti soro)
(Interlude)
Chorus…. Till fade….
