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
