This Road…
Poem in Cameroon pidgin
This road this country don take, e go bring we problem
Wey hungry di bite man belle like chuku chuku, we don condemn?
Young people dem no di think straight again for sika five hundred
How we go do check sense wey some people don shidon untop the bread?
This road
Na five hundred di open toll gate
for your contry you must show ID or you wait
slippers don burst burst for under but we go manage
for sika sey we di pray say one day one day, things go change
this road
we di still go na the correct road wey all young boys na banga
Na sey they too like the thing or na condition don ben their back like njanga?
You sure say we no get to stop check sense?
Say wetin di happen, we fit stop the nonsense
This road
Dem bi tok say ‘the future belongs to youths’
We don reach future key no di open, no use
All your book for school, you commot country, start from zero
Come you back for pays find your pot, start cook green eru
This road
This country don take, we continue or we dig new one?
God forbid say wa pikin dem suffer the very suffer for stand
Stand for line for doki, pay plenty money for pass exam
Say dem believe say na bush falling di ring for make am
This road
This country
We go fixam
