lyrics
Like dis – comme ça
Comme ça – like dat (2x)
Shake your waist
Shake am (3x)
Hold am – catch am – Easy!
Looka people – dem dey holla
Looka people – dem dey shake-i-o
Looka people – dem dey holla
Bad luck people – THEY MUST GO
Looka people – dem dey lie-o
Looka people – dem dey steal-o
Looka people – dem dey run
Wuru-wuru people – THEY MUST GO
THEY MUST GO
If e no go
THEY MUST GO
If e come back
THEY MUST GO
THEY MUST GO-O-O-O-O, THEY MUST GO (2x)
De people wey hold power,
Dem not want to open road for others
Dem want to eat everything by demself
Wuru-wuru people – THEY MUST GO
Liar people – THEY MUST GO
Racist people – THEY MUST GO
Jealousy people – THEY MUST GO
Make dem go – THEY MUST GO
Push dem away– THEY MUST GO
Send dem out – THEY MUST GO
Make dem go – THEY MUST GO
Dey must go – THEY MUST GO
Opposite people – THEY MUST GO
Bad luck people – THEY MUST GO
Wrong wrong people – THEY MUST GO
Wuru-wuru people – THEY MUST GO
Look dem well
Dem dey shake
Let dem go
Make dem run
Send dem away
Dey must go
Like dis - like dat
Like dis - comme ça
THEY MUST GO-O-O-O-O, THEY MUST GO (2x)
Comme ça – like dat (2x)
Shake your waist
Shake am (3x)
Hold am – catch am – Easy!
Looka people – dem dey holla
Looka people – dem dey shake-i-o
Looka people – dem dey holla
Bad luck people – THEY MUST GO
Looka people – dem dey lie-o
Looka people – dem dey steal-o
