From the recording Live in Williamsburg
Lyrics
Look him in the eyes
Oyibo man who thinks he's wise
In his mind Africa is a museum
Mr Sabi is the name
Last year he went to Lagos
Just one visit to Lagos
Now he knows everythings about Africa
just because they teach am shoki
Beware of the sweet-talk of Sabi
Fake intellectual Mr Sabi
Promise me if you meet Mr Sabi
You will know, telll him where to go
Now he writes a weekly blog
"Sustainable economy for Africa"
Each one chicken one goat
This oyibo man dey craze
Beware of the sweet-talk of Sabi
Pseudo-intellectual Mr Sabi
Promise me if you meet Mr Sabi
You will know, and will telll him where to go
Satisfied with his world
Oblivious to the truth other worlds
Totes his guns, eyes on TV everyday
But the revolution won’t be televised
Beware of the sweet-talk of Sabi
Fake intellectual Mr Sabi
Promise me if you meet Mr Sabi
You will know, and will telll him where to go
Beware of the sweet-talk of Sabi
Pseudo-intellectual Mr Sabi
Promise me if you meet Mr Sabi
You will know, and will telll him where to go
