[Intro, Modenine]
Yeah yeah... [Modenine!]
Here we go.. [Nomoreless!]
Bring it in, uh
Yeah
We gon' tell another story, yeah [Story teller!]
Make money and tell stories
Yo
[Verse 1, Modenine]
The path to wisdom and knowledge is not an easy road
Now here's a little story that most be told
About a kid called Dele, living with his dad
Good footballer but his school work was bad
'cause he never read [olodo!], that made his pop sad
Report card says that he's last in his class
What made it really bad is that he didn't get a pass
Always bagging F9, in English and Maths
For that alone he got his pocket money ripped in half
[Life is so hard!] He screamed out in rage
Did you have the same problems when you was my age?
His dad nodded, I could barely read a page
But I got the recipe, the medicine man
To administer elixir for you to pass your JAMB
The boy went to sleep happy, not knowing that his father set him up
It's all part of growing up
If this trick doesn't work we got a big problem
Pops calls a friend, Baba Soji, bawo
Talks a bit, listen up it's going down tomorrow
You know what to do, play the role of babalawo
[Chorus, Nomoreloss]
Omo mi oh [Omo mi oh]
O ni'un ti n o fun o [O ni'un ti n o fun o]
Ti o je o gbon [Ti o je o gbon]
Ti a n pe ni ogun isoye oh [Ti a n pe ni ogun isoye oh]
[Verse 2, Modenine]
The next day Baba Soji, dressed like a herbalist
Dele promised his dad, not to blurt a word of this
To anybody, not even his nosy friends
They got to the spot at a quarter past ten, then
They heard a voice, can I help you Mr man?
His father said, I want my boy to pass JAMB
No problem, I have the herb that you need
Swallow one in the morning after you feed
And make sure you read, do the same thing at night
But if you don't read, it will not work right
He winked at the boy gave his pops a knowing look
For the next few weeks Dele was reading his books
And swallowing soup and dry leaves
'cause he believed that the herb was working, pops was relieved
He passed JAMB, beat the cutoff feeling victorious, [ope oh!]
The moral of the story is
Read and pass there's no medicine for knowledge
Dele found out the moment he got in college
In his first class, he got shocked and swore slowly
'cause Baba Soji was his HOD
[Chorus, Nomoreloss]
Omo mi oh [Omo mi oh]
O ni'un ti n o fun o [O ni'un ti n o fun o]
Ti o je o gbon [Ti o je o gbon]
Ti a n pe ni ogun isoye oh [Ti a n pe ni ogun isoye oh]
[Bridge, Nomoreloss]
