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?
