Dream Killers
The day Nigeria Wakes Up, Africa Would never be the same again
Look, I have a dream just like Martin Luther King
That despite all this L's I was born to win
Be a source of inspiration when I rap and sing
And I'm still clinging to that Vision, Damn it means everything
But as i evolve i came to figure out
That this mofo's in power carry a lot of clout
Suppress the masses for their gain go to those extremes
(You are welcome to the land of shattered dreams)
Ah!
We just asked for change look what they did to us
Is it a crime for us to dare to be ambitious
The police meant to keep us safe are here extorting us
Are we greeks?
Cause i swear this people here feel like they're demi-gods
They all promised something better now it seems like no one cares
Only change I've seen is them turning our dreams to nightmares
If this the type of change we get to see again again
Then the labor of our heroes past was all in vain
Shey you dey see the suffer
People and dreams dey die oh
Men i swear e no proper
Government sef no dey try oh
Cause it seems like the only way to make it is to make out of here
Mofo's on top those chairs
E no go better for them oh
Ah, rise oh Compatriots, Nigeria's call obey
But when we answered they took our lives away
Can you see the level of this tragedy
They just wanted Nigeria to be a better place to be
Damn!
You can't take what you can't give it's not okay
Told us to prepare for change but we went the other way
And someone shared Wheel Barrows say na youth empowerment
Excuse me sir, wallahi talai you be werey!
Country's like a ticking bomb cos it gets to the most of us
Broken dreams and little chances
Leaders sef no get remorse
Indirectly telling us you want to make it? make it out
And still they block every way 'n
Make sure you don't find another route
Blacks in America work twice as hard just to make it there
But now we working four times twice as hard to make it here
It's like the 's' is silent and we all living in (S)pain
Seems like the labour of our Heroes past was all in vain
It's actually lugubrious that we as citizens in our own country
Don't have that courage, confidence and assurance over our future
That's why at the slightest chance we get to leave, We don't hesitate
The bad governance is killing us and
I just hope one day we wake up from this nightmare
M-A-X
(E no go better for them!)
