Verse 1 I call the office Monday morning Nine o’clock sharp on the line Secretary say, “Hold a minute…” That minute turn half past nine Then she come back soft and smiling Voice like butter on bread “Officer gone in a meeting…” But hear what she tell me instead: 👉 “Send a message, we go check it…” 👉 “Leave your number, don’t fret…” 👉 “Soon as he come out the meeting…” 👉 “We will revert, we will revert!” Chorus Revert! Revert! That is the word they love to flirt Revert! Revert! And leave the people in the dirt Text message blue tick showing Call log full, no answer yet Whole country running on promise… “We will revert!” Verse 2 I send email, nice and proper Subject line clear and neat Attach the file, copy the department Follow protocol complete Three days pass — nothing happening So I follow up again Now I get one quick reply Just six words from some big man pen: 👉 “Received, noted, under review…” 👉 “We will get back to you…” 👉 “Matter being processed…” 👉 “We will revert… soon, we will revert!” Chorus Revert! Revert! That word should come with a health alert Revert! Revert! Cause progress does take a hurt Phone don’t ring, no email coming Weeks pass by and still no word But when election season calling… Suddenly everybody heard! Verse 3 WhatsApp message — double blue tick Meaning they read it clear Voice note play, no response But they online whole day I swear I see them posting, liking pictures Commenting “Congrats my friend!” But the same important matter Still waiting on that “revert” to send 👉 “Sorry boss, been very busy…” 👉 “Just seeing this now…” 👉 “Will respond shortly…” 👉 (That shortly never reach somehow!) Bridge (Talk/Sing) This is not just poor behaviour This is culture we create No respect for time or people Everything just running late If you cannot give an answer At least say so, make it clear But don’t hide behind one sentence That we hearing year to year! Final Chorus (Lift) Revert! Revert! Time to flip that backward word Revert! Revert! Let accountability be heard Call me back, send the answer Even if the answer “No” But don’t leave the whole nation hanging… In a never-ending “we go…” REVERT!!!
