In spite of the recent happenings in Nigeria [from the Subsidy issue, to the Dana crash, the #ALUU4 killings, etc…], Demmy [the artiste who recently released his “Tuale” track, and was also featured on the Cobhams Asuquo-produced “Distance” by Lawale] delivers a totally different rendition of the popular “Turn On The Light” instrumental originally performed by Future. This instrumental has seen various artistes [both foreign and Nigerian-based acts] performing their versions but all have mostly come through with mainstream versions closely related to the dance-hall patterns; but Demmy chooses to perform his own version in a positive manner, giving hope to the lost souls – this is one song that would go a long way to show that as long as there’s life, there surely is hope.
Demmy, who marks his birthday today [December, 4th] brings on board Tallest [an Indie-artiste, who delivers a subliminal short rap verse fused with a bit of the Yoruba language] and DJ Sean [a disc-jockey with lyrical prowess] on the instrumental which was re-engineered and mixed by Irich, a prolific producer who has been on his grind this year to deliver a song for “change” and “hope“. This song would surely sit comfortably on the playlist of music lovers for a long time to come. | ENJOY!!!

LYRICS
D Mic Spirit
Verse 1 [Demmy]
===============
Ohhhh
What a dark world we’re living in
See, no sun no moon
No good road, no light
Water gets so scarce, so bad
Omo yankee better ni ohun ti won pariwo
Everybody dying in the flood, bomb blast everywhere
Even in day and night, it’s a pity we won’t get what we want anytime, and even nowhere
See, the pain is coming like we’ve never dreamt of
A storm is wiping everything that we’ve worked for
The pain is killing than we ever thought
I think we only have to cry to God for solution
Say, we really need a solution
Say, we really – we really have to cry for solution
Chorus [2X]
===========
Turn on the light
We need a better place to stay
We need a better life, oh yeaaa
Verse 2 [Tallest]
=================
There is a story I wanna tell about a beautiful home
A house full of love, that’s what I call a beautiful home
Wo ni ti ile ba’n toro, omo ale ibe ni ko ti dagba
Reason for my careless reaction towards awon agba oni ibaje
So many things going wrong, but they’re acting like they ain’t seeing nothing
That’s why I’m doing this to give hope and a little loving
It’s me, Demmy, Sean and Irich preaching love, but we ain’t preachers
That’s why I’m selling my love for this people, they ain’t buying
I’m telling them it’s so hard, but people keep on growing
We’re growing in pain, we’re growing in shame, but people ain’t sending
*sigh* — mehn, we really need some love here
Chorus [2X]
===========
Turn on the light
We need a better place to stay
We need a better life, oh yeaaa
Verse 3 [DJ Sean]
=================
Turn on the light; We’re crying, we’re begging, cuz the future is bright
Notwithstanding, they keep lying, they reap off our rights
We the youths keep struggling with hearts so pure
Leaders, hear our plea cuz a change is for sure
Positivity surpasses inequality
Leading a false life amidst the reality
Wave your hands in the air, cuz the future’s here
Two wrongs never made a right, so turn on the light
Hook – Spoken Words [Demmy]
===========================
*sighs* – deep breath
We really need a better future, we need a better life
Flood taking over everywhere, anxiety of bomb blast up and down
People dying to virus, people dying day and night all to armed robbery
We’re talking to our fathers, we’re talking to our leaders
I think we need a brighter future
Let’s give the younger generation coming a brighter life
The only constant thing in life is “CHANGE”
So, let’s change – TURN ON THE LIGHT
Chorus [4X]
===========
Turn on the light
We need a better place to stay
We need a better life, oh yeaaa
