EASE DI TENSION

Written by Pupah Bajah and the Baw-Waw Society

Chorus:
We nor want nor yukie-yukie pan dis election
No kirbie karba we nor want for yeri o
Una ease the tension pan this election    
Leh we nor create no tension pan dis election

Una leh we ease the tension pan dis election
Una leh we ease the tension pan dis election
Leh we nor create no tension pan dis election

x2

Bajah sez:
Ease the tension pon this election
No corruption but peace down nar Freetown
No destruction slow the motion
We need a leader with a very good intention
|Not a selfish one, not a greedy one
One with a good plan for the nation
That will take us out of sufferation
Poverty and also segregation
One with a bettah plan fo di mother land

One that can understand what the people want

And give it to them cuz its what they want

Free and fair one, I mean a peaceful one

Commissioner, please don't rig this election

Coz too long we've been waiting for a Moses

To set us free from this political bondage

Now is the right time for us to make a change

So we can move onto the next stage

Turn a new page

Get out of the cage

And start to live a life that is average

[chorus]
