Sorry, those lyrics posted from a website were innacurate (it is hard to say what Fela was saying a lot of the time, but he fought for Democracy in Nigeria long and HARD !....and he is not the sexist bigot people think he was...it is a misinterpretation of a genius in out time )
Listen to Fela...you will rise to a higher world. Song: LADY (note: in the pidgeon English of the Africans of the time "him" is interchangable with "She". I think they do not have the same language tenses) If you call woman African woman no go `gree She go say I be Lady o If you call woman African woman no go `gree She go say I be Lady o She go say: *(CHORUS) SHE GO SAY I BE LADY O [AFTER EACH LINE] She go say I no be woman She go say market woman na woman She go say I be Lady I want tell you about Lady: (3x) She go say him equal to man She go say him get power like man She go say anything man do Him self he do She go say him equal to man.... I never tell you finish (5x) I never tell you She the one won't take cigar before anybody She the one won't make you open door for am She the one won't make man wash plate for her for kitchen She won't salute man she go sit down for sure (2x) She won't sit down for table before anybody (2x) She won't piece of meat before anybody (2x) Call am for dance, she go dance Lady dance (2x) African woman go dance she go dance the fire dance (2x) She no him manna Masster ? She go cook for am She go do anything he say But Lady no be so (4x) Lady na Masster (3x) Call am for dance, she go dance Lady dance (2x) African woman go dance she go dance the fire dance (2x) She know him manna Masster She go cook for am She go do anything he say But Lady no be so (4x) Lady na Masster (4x) If you call am woman African woman no go `gree She go say I be Lady Fela Kuti (father of Afro-Beat - 1938-1997) "Lady" Listen with the headphones on..YOU CANNOT MISS THIS if YOU LOVE MUSIC !
