Crescents Nasheed - Grave Is My Bed Lyrics

One day we'll all be dead
Why can't we all prepare
Ohhh
Mo ko le mejo (I built eight mansions)
Mo ra motor mesan (I bought nine fleet of cars)
Iwo yi ijejo (Just a fortnight ago)
Mo ra le si Safejo (I bought a land in Safejo)
I've got a super duplex
I'm using as my fortress
And you can see me flex
Whenever I cruise in my Quest
But why did I forget
Should have known that one day I'll encounter death
And now that I'm dead
I never knew the grave would be my final bed
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
The grave is my bed
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
I be lati seda mi (I am created from dust)
Gbogbo ohun ti mo ni (Everything I possessed)
Ko si eyi to te le mi (None is with me in the grave)
Ile ni ile mi
Ki lo wa tun gbehin mi (What becomes of me)
Ise mo gbaye se sebi ohun nikan mo ri (Only my deeds are here with me)
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
The grave is my bed
Ile ni ile mi
I'm a big boy
See my Rolls Royce
Ti n ba fi s'omo lasan (When I woo ladies with it)
They've got no choice
E fi mi le cos I can't make noise
I use my brain to get the dough without no force
My friends hail me
Olowo lomo naa (He is the richest)
Everybody wanna work for me as a pawn
I thought I was strong
But I was wrong
Until I finally had my downfall
But why can't I comprehend
Should have known that one day I'll meet my end
And now that I'm dead
Oh Lord tell me where I stand
Ile ni ile e
Ile ni ile e
The grave is your bed
Ile ni ile e
Ile ni ile e
Stick this to your head
Don't you know that one day you'll be dead
Ile ni ile e
Why didn't you prepare
Now tell me, tell me where do you stand
Ile ni ile e ibe lati se da e (From dust, you were created)
The grave is your bed
Ile ni ile e
I'm a princess
Also an actress
I dress to impress, express and depress
I'm a model yet motun gbe se (Yet I sleep around)
I'm also known as a beauty pageant
I'm too flashy
And extravagant
All men want me cos I'm elegant
But now I'm dead with my actions
No second chance for me to renew my intentions
So life is not all about fashion
Despite everything I did to get attention
Everything led me to destruction
Now I'm facing condemnation
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
The grave is my bed
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
Gbogbo beauty ti mo ni (Despite my beauty)
Oti pada sibi ti won ti seda mi (It is now nothing but dust)
Ile ni ile mi
To ba bere lowo mi (When I'm being questioned)
E dakun e so fun mi (Please tell me)
Kini ohun ti ma wi (What do I have to say)
Ile ni ile mi
E wo ohun t'oju mi n ri (I'm in excruciating pain)
Abamo mi kin ti gbaye se ohun gidi (I should have lived a righteous life)
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
The grave is my bed
Ile ni ile mi
Ni ile mi
Ni ile mi
The grave is bed
Ile ni ile mi
I'm Mr. President
Aso Rock is my residence
I'm very competent
I'm Mr. Dependent
I am eminent
Tell your correspondent
When I talk to you I want total silence
But now I can see for myself
Being a president doesn't mean I'm competent
It's very apparent that I'm impotent
So only God truly is independent
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
The grave is my bed
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
If only I had known
So life is not about power
Ile ni ile mi
Listen well my brother
You follow my steps I swear you will suffer
Ile ni ile mi
Ile ni ile mi
The grave is my bed
Ile ni ile mi
Ko le mejo (Build eight mansions)
Ile ni ile wa (The grave is our bed)
O ra motor mesan (Buy nine fleet of cars)
Ile ni ile wa (The grave is our bed)
You are a big boy
Ile ni ile wa (The grave is our bed)
You ride a Rolls Royce

You are a princess
Ile ni ile wa (The grave is our bed)
Also an actress
Ile ni ile wa (The grave is our bed)
You are Mr. President
