Lyrics
You still use too much salt in your Jollof.
I remember the kitchen in Shitta, steam on the window glass.
Two spoons in one pot, we dey make the portion last.
The dough of our plan, e dey rise for the heat,
Underneath the streetlights on Adeniran Ogunsanya street.
[Chorus]
Now the flavour is gone, O.
We boil am down, down, down 'til the water dry.
The flavour is gone, O.
And you no dey look my eye.
[Verse 2]
Saw your post from last Tuesday, the table was full.
All those new friends dey chop, but the recipe's dull.
"We go cook for the whole world," you said, that December night.
Now you add bitter leaf, just to show all your might.
[Chorus]
Now the flavour is gone, O.
We boil am down, down, down 'til the water dry.
The flavour is gone, O.
And you no dey look my eye.
[Bridge]
The key to the spice rack, I see you lock am away.
Our pride was the pepper that burned us that day.
I still taste the promise, a ghost on my tongue.
[Outro]
You still use too much salt in your Jollof.
