The Matter Lyrics

[ti:Omawumi-The-Matter]

I think its something we should talk about

No need to hush it up just say loud

If you don’t like it you can shut me out

But listen and perhaps you come around

Violence and tragedy dey walk about

The rich dey stand the poor are falling down

Which guarantee say go turn around

And na which side you go dey

Say this one e pass me

I dey weak everyday

Are we getting better

Or worse everyday

Wetin you think for this matter

E better make we stand than to scatter

Had it been we no stand by each other

Na where we for dey

Na me and you now be oga

Together we fit rise to be greater

Had it been we no stand by each other

Na where we for dey

Eh

What are you saying are you coming out

Uh uh uh

Now you might say what is she talking about

You cant deny that you don’t know it now

Its in your schools, its in your playing ground

Its in your country, church, your self no doubt

The lonely orphan who lost everything oh

That country chaos caused by some within

Yeah

What will you do

How’re you contributing

Or will you sit back and say

This one e pass me

I dey weak everyday

Are we getting better

Or worse everyday

Wetin you think for this matter

E better make we stand than to scatter

Had it been we no stand by each other

Na where we for dey

Na me and you now be oga

Together we fit rise to be greater

Had it been we no stand by each other

Na where we for dey

Now you know, as I know

We no fit decisive ourselves any longer

You can do, so can I

So join your hand with mine

Lets go

Oh yeah (repeatedly)

Wetin you think for this matter

E better make we stand than to scatter

Had it been we no stand by each other

Na where we for dey

Na me and you now be oga

Together we fit rise to be greater

Had it been we no stand by each other

Na where we for dey

Yeah eh eh
