Fela and CharlyBoy.

Fela and CharlyBoy.

Fela no just wake up to live
he wake up to fight.
Every morning na battle plan,
every night na drum and sweat.
Kalakuta be him country,
him law, him refuge.
No fence between life and message.
Women, weed, music, anger
all mix for one pot.
He insult power with chest full,
collect beating, prison, exile
and still come back louder.
For Fela, lifestyle na sacrifice.
If body break, so be am.

Charly Boy burn different.
No be wildfire
na controlled flame.
Black clothes, piercings, bike roar
image sharp like blade.
He bend rules, not scatter am.
He enter system small
use microphone, protest, branding
to slap hypocrisy.
Family still dey
health still matter
strategy dey the rebellion.
He know say
to shout tomorrow
you must survive today.

Fela choose chaos as language.
Charly Boy choose symbolism.
One sleep inside war.
One walk through am with caution.

But make nobody lie
both get fire.
Both refuse silence.
Both no bow.

One life shout
burn everything.
The other whisper
last long.

E go shock U.
