FWGE Day 24: My Warri Bobo by Dawn Baridor

Sake of say Warri pikin sabi worri-worri 

but as my head take turn ehnnn 

E be lyk pesin wey shak 2 shots of shekpe 

Kia!!! My warri bobo , you too set ojare 

Con fresh lyk todai bread 

You see dat xpress nkoro for your teeth?

e dey send me on a wavy levu 

Wen you smile nko? 

E dey tortori my mind, dey make my heart do tum-tum-tum lyk Yoruba talking drum 

You nor dey yarn me fabu 

Our gist dey make me laf but sense still full am wey dey make me reason beta mata 

Switie belle dey do me 

Wen you call me swit swit names wey you dey use nak my craze 

I nor go lie you oh, i gbadu am wella 

Especially wen you call me ‘aje butter’ 

Tueh! I don tell you say na kpako I be 

But you nor gree! 

E be me say Pitakwa kpako na buttie for Warri side 

Na onli you fit scarra my dada 

Onli you fit jinja my swagga 

Onli you go be my stew zaddy 

For your mata, we die here! 

Lyk gala, I carri am for head 

Dem fit yarn their nonsense but who e epp? 

We kukuma nor send dem ni 

Becos our own na love in Tokyo 

As you no dey play me like Johnnie 

I nor go let you be my maga sef 

Aswearugad! Our love go dey kakaraka 

My swit porero! My yoriyori 

Your doings full for mouth o but make i cap gist for here.
