WAKA LYRICS

Verse 1

I want to reach for greatness.

The odds these days are really slim

Cause i realize i'm in a country were the government don't want us to see us win.

You see they take my breakfast.

Am always getting pushed to the wall again.

Am i a citizen or a walking corpse to be shot by the corps or the militant, i cant tell.

Talk for their mouth them they lie a ai.

Reason their matter you go pai a ai.

It's why i always look up to the sky a ai.

Make baba god look my eye a ai.

Bless all my peoples in the fight.

Leaders they poach them they fine

mean while my people still dey cry a ai.

That why for my mind i dey say.

Verse 2

Them they cruise for senate, we know them.

Speaker for house and gbogbe, we know them.

Most wear agbada with old age.

their tried affairs, no work for years, them lack ideas, and i ask my pairs.

Why we keep putting this people in office.

They lure us with cash and food and we gullible off it.

Complain for the next 4 years on how the system is wack.

How you keep living with that. infact.

The plan is trying to listen and feed this world.

With music im trying use it. to fill up the void.

Of unhappiness that's been carrying us. Boobi trapping us, into madness of calamitous that's attacking us.

You know they don't ask questions but shoot first.

In a world where they still won't allow you to protest.

So how's my family suppose to heal with no stress.

When law enforcements robbers and bandits they coherse. oh yes

Pray someday for the light

Give dem the vision give them sight

To see say things e no right.

And i pray someday for a nation that works.

A nation that respect its citizens and treat them with love.

Everybody take stand bad governance must go.
