The “Ole” lyrics by Falz explore themes of corruption, political failure, insecurity, and social injustice as the artist voices frustration over the hardships faced by ordinary Nigerians. Through sharp commentary, powerful storytelling, and confrontational lyrics, Ole criticizes corrupt leadership, economic struggles, violence, and the manipulation of citizens while calling for accountability, better governance, and meaningful change.
Many still ain't really freeMany losing all the willMany soldiers in the fieldMany brothers dem dey kill
Many stealers wey dey feastBut we no fit enter streetsMany people wey dem kidnapAnd dem turn them to deceased
Don't think that you can whip up tribal sentiments for lifeKeep keeping people poor and hope that you can weaponiseHope that you can bank on all the hungry votes that you can buyJust to get it repeat the same cycle all the timeWe sefCome make we talk, gimme one secondHow many we go take before we don fed up?Inflation rate high like my blood pressureDem go say make we no protest say na wrong method
