My name is @franco10, I'm doing a cover of a song by "Fela kuti" title (why man dey suffer)I want to thank the leaders of this great platform for making it a reality for me to display the talent in this song. This song is a source of eye opening and inspiration for me as I come to see what some have taken from me as an individual. And I hope you are blessed by this song, thanks 🙏

              lyrics 

Why black man dey suffer today
Why black man dey suffer today
Why black man no get money today
Why black man no get money today
Why black man no go for moon today
Why black man no go for moon today
This is the reason why (tell me now)
This is the reason why (tell me again)
This is the reason why
We dey sit down for our landi jeje
We dey sit down for our landi jeje
We dey mind our business jeje
Some people come from far away land
Dem fight us and take our land
Dem take our people and spoil our towns
Na since den trouble starti oh (huh, huh)
Na since den trouble starti oh (one more time)
Na since den trouble starti oh (hmm)
Our riches dem take away to their land
In return dem give us their colony
Dem take our culture away from us
Dem give us dem culture we no understand
Black people, we no know ourselves
We no know our ancestral heritage
We dey fight each other everyday
We're never together, we're never together at all
We're never together, we're never together at all

[Verse 4]
Dat is why black man dey suffer today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Tell me again
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dey take our culture away
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dey take our riches away
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dey take our land from us
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dey take our people away
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
We have to think of time to come
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
We have to think of our children to come
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
We have to be together and unite
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man dey suffer today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man no go for moon today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man no get money today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man dey suffer
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man dey suffer today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man dey suffer today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today)
Dat is why black man dey suffer today
(Dat is why black man dey suffer today

Was following the lyrics and vibing to the song, the song is kinda funny though but Fela wanted to express himself fully through those lines.
You did great with the song too.
