Village People Get Wi Fi

Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken] Eh! Massa! Who give my village people Wi-Fi? Yesterday dem no sabi smartphone… Today dem become social media police! DJ, drop am! [Verse 1 – Rap] I post one selfie from Germany, Uncle comment, “Send money!” I post fried chicken on my plate, Auntie say, “You forget your village?” New jacket, snow in the frame, Cousin say, “You don make your name!” I say, “Na second-hand, my friend,” Dem say, “Stop that story, you dey abroad!” Grandma get smartphone, video call, Six in the morning, she wake me all: “Why you still dey sleep? I see you online!” I rub my eyes: “Grandma, give me time!” [Pre-Chorus – Chant] Before na letter dem di send, Now na WhatsApp every weekend! I post good morning, dem ask for cash, Massa, my status turn bank branch! [Chorus – Chant] Village people get Wi-Fi! Hey! Everybody don dey online! I post picture, dem calculate: “How much money you di make?” Village people get Wi-Fi! Hey! My WhatsApp no get peace again! I post enjoyment, dem say I rich, But na discount I use buy my things! [Verse 2 – Rap] I post one girl, say na colleague, Auntie ask, “When una go marry?” I post airport, dem shout, “You dey fly!” Na pick up my friend, I no lie! Uncle make family group one night, Add me inside, no warning, no invite. “Family Progress,” the name look fine— First message: “Who go pay roof zinc?” I mute the group, dem call my line: “Why you no reply? You get pride?” I say, “Uncle, I dey work today!” He say, “Good. Send small money after work!” [Pre-Chorus – Chant] Before na letter dem di send, Now na WhatsApp every weekend! I post good morning, dem ask for cash, Massa, my status turn bank branch! [Chorus – Chant] Village people get Wi-Fi! Hey! Everybody don dey online! I post picture, dem calculate: “How much money you di make?” Village people get Wi-Fi! Hey! My WhatsApp no get peace again! I post enjoyment, dem say I rich, But na discount I use buy my things! [Bridge – Beat Break, Spoken Dialogue] Auntie: “My pikin, you dey Europe?” Me: “Yes, Auntie!” Auntie: “So you get plenty euro?” Me: “Auntie, I get bills!” Auntie: “But you post restaurant yesterday!” Me: “Na free office lunch!” Auntie: “Okay… send small money!” Me: “Massa, network don cut!” [Final Chorus – Full Groove] Village people get Wi-Fi! Hey! Everybody don dey online! I post picture, dem calculate: “How much money you di make?” Village people get Wi-Fi! Hey! My WhatsApp no get peace again! I love my people, I no go lie, But abeg make I breathe sometimes! [Outro – Spoken Rap] Massa! Before village people get Wi-Fi, Na only Christmas dem di remember me! Now na every morning: “Good morning, my son… Please check your WhatsApp!” Eh! Na wah oh!
