Lyrics
(Yo, Chris Curbs dem boys they have to tick time)
Look, I cry for Africa
All I can do is cry, tearing up
'Cause black lives matter but we don't meet the criteria
Thinking why yours huh?
Fake love I'm quite weary of
I'm hearing bias bro here in diaspora
If I was in Nigeria I'd be at my burial
If there is a god then why doesn't he like hearing it?
Every midnight vigils end with candle light wearing off
And we are left in darkness there's no light in our areas
Nope NEPA took it, neighbor died electrocuted
Tried to fix it 'cause he couldn't pay his bill
My blood is boiling but I'm staying still
No sign of retribution life's are paralysed by fears that they instilled
They say, "United we stand, divided we fall"
What like the Biafran war tribes in diaspora that divide us before
Try to be calm peaceful protesters were violently warned
And died for reform that's not what I want anymore
Time to evolve to a state where problems are finally solve
And government will try to be self service, civil service
They lie to me or well and welfare is a concern
We don't have to be poor now babies can be glad to be born
Our Father yeah, yeah
Who at in Heaven
Hallow be thy name
I have a question
I'm even ashamed to be second guessing
But can you hear our prayers?
And will it ever change? Ever change? Yeah
Life is sweet when you see me as I see you jeje
Equally, baba raise me as I raise you jeje
Reality check oh
Reality check oh, oh, oh jeje
Reality check o ou-ou, ou-ou-ou-ou
Look, everyday we compromise, all our knowledge they come from lies
Tryna fight for my people while tryna get my numbers right
Let me try to summarise
Look, I know my voice was ice in a box that can only be amplified if I can get my song to cry
Either they leave us hanging or our lives are on the line
Either way we're pig bunny 'cause our lives are undermined
Explosive 'cause everything we standing for is undermined
Our pains is but where they cannot be and clever run the rhymes
Everyday we endure and teach me about the country when they told me how to pledge for it
Green red and green for our fallen soldiers that bled for it
Just a consolate, now they are calling her an escort
Twist the hair that comes out of my head now I'm a threat for it
Shaved it to prevent quarel
Pulled me over, "How'd you get this car"?
I paid sweat for it
No, you doing fraud and so they raid without a search warrant
Mtchew which kind search warrant?
Violate unless you're in
A government car your father is an electoral
Candidate and end of day they lecturing me to lock my country
But it's difficult especially when the love is not reciprocal
Our Father yeah, yeah
Who at in Heaven
Hallow be thy name (hallow be thy name)
I have a question (I have a question)
I'm even ashamed to be second guessing
But can you hear our prayers?
And will it ever change? Ever change? Yeah
Fling me, fling me
Slap me, slap me
Beat me, beat me
Scatter me, scatter me
Any how you do me shey you no like me?
Me I no like you to oyou-you
Pick me, pick me
Want me, want me
Kill me, kill me
You no fit like me
You no wan do me
As I dey see you, see you, yeah
Life is sweet when you see me as I see you jeje
Equally, baba raise me as I raise you jeje
Reality check oh
Reality check oh, oh, oh jeje
Reality check o ou-ou, ou-ou-ou-ou
