Voice Of The People
Them say experience na the best teacher
Everybody wan japa, we need good leaders
Bad rubbish, good riddance
You can't shut us up, we will soro soke for a good governance
You tampered with the lights in Lekki, couldn't off Switch
Your bad deeds will take it's toll, no I'm not here to preach
You call it fake news, to ridicule our fight
But what is left, when you don't acknowledge our rights?
Twitter trends to empathize with our plights
Our only error, we brought a flag to a gun fight
The media covered your tracks, no surprise that
There was only one station who could Arise
O compatriots, let us put aside our tribes
In the end, we are all one, together in strife
Together for life.
Nigeria yii ti gbogbo wa ni (True)
Eyan melo lo ma ku, eyan melo lo ma ku
E get many many things wey dey shele for Nigeria
1960 till date, na so so wahala
Light we no get
Road we no get
We say make we complain
You kill us for toll gate
Shey na like this we go dey dey
Cos we don tire to complain
We didn't ask for too much, we kept it simple
All we asked is that you do right by the people
The voice of the people is the voice of God
So when I spit these verses, best believe it's the scripture
Different hashtags, different flashbacks
Even at the end of the tunnel, the country is pitch black
The youth walk around with a target on their backs
The leaders ban anything that they don't understand
The truth of the matter, my country is a circus
We once had a couple snakes swallowing millions
Soldiers shooting civilians
Our leaders are villains
Through it all, we move, just cos we're resilient
Things have gotta change, and I ain't talking the Buhari type thing
We gotta keep fighting, do the right thing
Let's leave a legacy that our children can take pride in
E get many many things wey dey shele for Nigeria
1960 till date, na so so wahala
Light we no get
Road we no get
We say make we complain
You kill us for toll gate
Shey na like this we go dey dey
Cos we don tire to complain
Of the people, by the people, for the people
Does that ring a bell?
Why then do my people suffer and then go through hell
We don tire to dey say we move and all is well
Cos things no gel
The young people need to be able to dream
Outside the country we're profiled by the color of our skins
In our country we're profiled by our dreads and our jeans
Omo to be a youth for this country no be beans
E get many many things wey dey shele for Nigeria
1960 till date,na so so wahala
Light we no get
Road we no get
We say make we complain
You kill us for toll gate
Shey na like this we go dey dey
Cos we don tire to complain
Everybody wan japa, we need good leaders
Bad rubbish, good riddance
You can't shut us up, we will soro soke for a good governance
