Citoyens de nulle part
Yi dey like sey I be pikin wey yi fall from sky
Na why that wuna no care weda I live or I die
Na four years plus this, we don di cry
You beat we, rub pepper fo the wound
Den say you want give we public tap
Make wu wash wa eye
For like Trevor it seems we were born a crime
I can't breathe in this America
Below the equator's line where
The shoot the nigger game is now
Pop the English speaker
We are dying for a tongue
That don't even belong to our mothers
Les citoyens de nulle part
Ni d'ici, ni de là-bas
Nous ne sommes que des herbes
Pris au milieu d'un combat affreux
Entre 2 éléphants qui se clash
Et c'est nous qui subissons leur rage
La souffrance et le sang
Sont les couleurs de notre drapeau
Oh Cameroun! Mon berceau
Aujourd'hui mon tombeau
Yi dey like sey this body be na zombie
Foot don di hot no be today
But head di dzjong yi
Whiteman callam Frankenstein
Like sey they join-join we
We are one and indivisible!
Yet some people no di even tempté fo be civil
Je ne comprends pas ton partois la enh!
Madame! C'est vous les terroristes nor?
Na question that wey dey go ask me
Because I enta taxi
Fo Yamande talk goodmorning
Yi turn be na war
Yi di eva start like play
But na we dis today
And now dinner is served
We claim disgust with the platter
But our common complacence
Has wreaked this havoc on our center
They were more than
Just a trend for Twitter and Insta
This is a picture of how we assassinated our future
So I will say their names

Que votre mémoire frappe nos consciences
D'être conscient et restez debout
Pour la peace, pour la justice
Et pour l'égalité pour tout
Il ne suffit seulement pas de dire
Le Cameroun c'est nous tous
Si tu ne peux pas ressentir
La douleur de ton frère
Est-ce qu'il y a vraiment un nous?
Les citoyens de nulle part
Gone too soon to be with the stars
Hopefully now citizens
In a country free of this prison of greed
This treasonous deed is ours to weed
And we may be
A couple of thousand bodies late
But hopefully we aren't Hewett
Just yet
And so today
Today
Today is a good day to stand up for peace
And put an end
To this gruesome Anglophone crisis
Because if we become numb
Then they would have won
Na why that wuna no care weda I live or I die
Na four years plus this, we don di cry
You beat we, rub pepper fo the wound
Den say you want give we public tap
Make wu wash wa eye
For like Trevor it seems we were born a crime
