Expensive Shit (Yes, Fela Kuti in this song is indeed talking about extremely precious and expensive excrement, referring to a famous incident in 1974 during a raid on his home and his subsequent arrest for possession of marijuana; Fela threw the stuff down the toilet and ate a joint to avoid being arrested again. He was still taken to jail by the police while waiting to fulfill his physiological functions, so that there could be evidence of the drug content in his intestines. But the other inmates "helped" him by substituting Fela's "expensive shit" with their own, so that the next morning the authorities found no trace of marijuana.)
