NA FIGHT O! (Everybody say, YEAH-YEAH-YEAH-EAH!)

SYNOPSIS:

In this tune, FELA KUTI is "FIGHTING" everything and everybody that he detests...
Religious leaders (Christian & Islamic) and their subjects for trying to brainwash him and his crowd.
This is the very first time that FELA uttered his trademark "EVERYBODY SAY, YEAH-YEAH" slogan.
He boasts about his skills in the martial arts and boxing that he would employ in these "fights."

HERE's THE LYRICS, IF YOU WANT TO SING-ALONG:
