Lately, when we see them, they talk about change
They say it is their turn now to be leaders of the people
Tell them I've been there many, many times before
And no one can trick me with honey mouth again
Lately, when we meet them they flex their muscles up
The talk about bravery and courage never seen
Tell them I know book o and heroes wey no dey beg
Real man na for action, no be for mouth o
Here comes the fire-eating guy
My lord with arrows in his eyes and burning anger
Let no one stand in his way
This land will never be the same again
Here comes the fire-spitting guy
Aare Kurunmi is on the way with his sword of justice
Warn all the liars and pretenders
The day of reckoning is here, beware!
Lately, when we see them, they talk about their conquests
The many battles fought in the trenches for your rights
If you ask for evidence, na award you go see
And many many honors from foreign bodies o
See them on the street now preaching to the crowd
The true test of a leader is to lead right in front
And be responsible when things go wrong
No be to dey run and make excuse o
Here comes the fire-eating guy
My lord with arrows in his eyes and burning anger
Let no one stand in his way
This land will never be the same again
Here comes the fire-spitting guy
Aare Kurunmi is on the way with his sword of justice
Warn all the liars and pretenders
The day of reckoning is here, beware!
Children, you will learn and you must never forget
The past is full of heroes from whom we can learn
And real lessons to guide us today
Many, many stories to make us proud too
Lately, when we meet them they count up their losses
The pains and the scars of their vain struggle o
Kurunmi lost five sons all in a day
But he never wavered till the very last stand
Okunrin ogun, okunrin ogun ni Kurunmi o, ki s'ojo
Akinkanju, akinkanju ni Kurunmi o, ki s'ole
Okunrin ogun, okunrin ogun ni Kurunmi o, ki s'ojo
Akinkanju, akinkanju ni Kurunmi o, ki s'ole
Here comes the fire-eating guy
My lord with arrows in his eyes and burning anger
Let no one stand in his way
This land will never be the same again
Here comes the fire-spitting guy
Aare Kurunmi is on the way with his sword of justice
Warn all the liars and pretenders
The day of reckoning is here, beware!
