Language Barrier (feat. Abobi Eddiroll)

See, I ain't never chasing around no woman, no more That girl almost cost me my life I mean, how could I have known she was another man's wife Listen to my story I gotta learn this Yoruba, and speak with it, right away Because the language barrier is gonna kill me someday It was sometime in November, was in a party at Ikeja And, before my eyes, she was standing there, the beautiful Gbemisola So, I walked a little closer, just to hear what the girl would say She only spoke in Yoruba, I discovered, to my dismay Now, we need an interpreter before we coulda get together Cos I was talking, and she was screaming! And, everybody was watching Then, she said Ko so ra, f'obirin sile, ko ma ba ti e lo O lati ma ni itelorun kpelu nkan tire Eni ti o ba towobo ina, owo re lo ma so Ti oko mi ba ka e mo ibi, o le kanrin mo Then, I brought out some money and beckon to her to have a drink She smiled mischievously my confidence began to shrink Then, she grabbed me by the hand, and she dragged me to the dance floor But, as we danced along to the band, big trouble came in through the door All of a sudden, five mean-looking guys came crashing on the party scene They were dangerous-looking, guns and knives they were brandishing Now, the leader said to me, "That na my wife you are chasing But, I like your ragamuffin music, that's why I'm giving you this last warning Then, he said Ko so ra, f'obirin sile, ko ma ba ti e lo O lati ma ni itelorun kpelu nkan tire Eni ti o ba towobo ina, owo re lo ma so Ti oko e ba ka e mo be, o le kanrin mo Ko so ra, f'obirin sile, ko ma ba ti e lo O lati ma ni itelorun kpelu nkan tire Eni ti o ba towobo ina, owo re lo ma so Ti oko e ba ka e mo be, o le kanrin mo Aboy there, Omo na we oh, Musicians See ehn, I go dis party, I jam dis bambie She come with escort, Her husband bring army She carry body, come dey sit by me Say make I no worry, nobody go ginger me She I be striker, make I be her team mate Say, if na bread, she go ready give me Teamate Her husband look me, eyeball-to-eyeball Me, I tell my men say, Abobi I go like ball The man stop me say, "Ogbeni, kilode?!" Say I wan open im wife, but di key no dey Ojo don lap us, dem wan arrest me Me, I don dey fear now! Daniel Wilson, help me And, I be foreigner, I no dey speak Yoruba I come dey form fresh, waka like ogoloba Her husband warn me, say make I no try am Even though im wife na plane, I no go fly am Ko so ra, f'obirin sile, ko ma ba ti e lo!
