about

Made this song with no samples. This song is about how in Nigerian and other cultures, men are positioned as more important that women and about how many women are losing their rights all over the world. I’m challenging that perspective by saying that, “Who born man if not for woman?” Meaning, “Who gave birth to man if not for woman?” This song is also demanding (instead of asking or begging) power (equality really or self-determination), “Give it to me now.” I say that God is not a man and man is not God. I recorded and engineered it here in my Brooklyn studio.

lyrics

No dey talk too much
Na d type of thing them dey say (ah hah)
But when u no come talk
Dem go come dey
Find you to blame (ah ha)
No dey vex for man Na d thing dem go say
Abi man Na God?
U dey crase 
I know I want too much 
I no dey go for church
I know I want too much
But give it to me now 
Give it to me now
Give it to me now

Dat brain Na scatter
Dat brain Na ah-ah
My aim Na power
So give to me now

Who born man if not for woman

Dat brain Na scatter
(Who born man if not for woman)
Dat train Na ah-ah
My aim Na power
So give to me now

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me now
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me now
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me now


No dey play to win
Na d type of thing dem dey say (ah ha)
And if u play to win
Na to ask if u no dey shame (ah ha)
Olówó orí mi 
Na to call each man u dey face
Abi God Na man?
U dey crase 

I know I want too much (ah ah)
I no dey go for church (ah ah)
I know I want too much (ah ah)
But give it to me now 
Give it to me now
Give it to me now


Who born man if not for woman?
Who born man if not for woman?


Your brain dey scatter
Ah dis na serious matter
My aim na power
So give it to me now

Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me now
Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me now
Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me now
Give it to me
Who born man if not for woman?

Give it to me
Give it to me

Who born man if not for woman?

Give it to me now
Give it to me now

Who born man if not for woman?

Give it to me now
Give it to me now

Who born man if not for woman?
