Summary
Oríkì Tìmì Munirudeen Adésọlá Lawal Láminísà (2007–)
Láminísà ọmọ kúdú-ǹdú tó sewé gẹ̀ru-gẹ̀ru
Ọ̀pọ̀lọ̀pọ̀ ògùn arumọ gàlè gàlè
Láminísà ní bobá lọ́pọ̀ ògùn
Láminísà ní bobá lékèé- kò ní jẹ́ kó jẹ́
Ọmọ pẹ̀rẹ̀ ńdi-ọ̀pẹ-ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan làá he-ìrà
Àgbà tó bá he méjì ló sòjóró
Ọmọ palé-ntogun-jìgan ntogun
Ọmọ-arógun mọ́-sàá-àrọ̀nì wọn ò fiyè ogun nù
Ọmọ àrọ̀nì tí kò gbélé, Olúkòyí-Kòsin mi ogun-ún lọ

Ọmọ-Oníkòyí tí kìí gbọfà lẹ́yìn,
Iwájú ni baba won fií gbọta

Ọmọ Tìmì Àgbàlé Ọlọ́fà-Iná
Ọmọ ẹ̀sọ́ Ìkòyí, ọmọ ajídá gbẹ̀du àkàlà
Laminisa, a leafy sweet potato
Enormous charms that intoxicates
Laminisa says: “if you have many charms
And you are not forthright; the charms would lose their efficacy”
A heritage of war-happy
Arọni, who always thinks of war
Arọni, who does not stay at home
Olukoyi, who does not cease to go to war
A heritage of war happy
When their father woke up
He headed to the war front
A heritage of Olukoyi, who would not be hit by bullets at the back
Their father would rather be hit by bullets in the chest
A heritage of Olukoyi who is shot at the back is a coward
A heritage whose corpse is taken to war front for burial
The child of Tìmì Àgbàlé Ọlọ́fà-Iná
A heritage of Ikoyi
The child of one who woke up to beat drum of war
