Now all over Nigeria We're giving out red cards Leaders who couldn't lead gravity to the ground Our people couldn't make any demands They said ENDSARS Simple enough for anyone but a clown I don't want to see you enter Aso Rock You are trespassing You're a traitor and a coward and an enemy I'm no longer addressing you Speaking to all my fellow citizens Nigeria I really hope you're hearing me Do not let me panic you I've had to make an adjustment to my attitude I understand that some of you are tired I ain't mad at you You wanna give up on the country that abandoned you And told you that all your cries for help were just ingratitude Granted you did what the system said you had to do Now you're hesitant to be considered as a radical But listen carefully There is coming a revolution And if you ain't coming with We won't come back for you We can't afford to Yenagoa to the capital and further North too This is not about youth This is about how well-equipped we are to see the truth This is the diligence to make a plan and see it through Make all the work we sow into the country come to fruit They tell us that we sow in barren land but at the roots A bunch of parasitic criminals are trying to loot And we can we see the proof so what we have to do Is grab hold of the wheel I'm telling you that no matter how powerless you feel We will we have to adamant we can't ever procrastinate Say "I AM DRIVING - I do not care how you feel" We're more equipped for the future than our country is And so we have an obligation to our countrymen To build a political party of the youth who are driven by the truth It is only then that our country can Open up the gates that keep the options limited Establish public safety through autonomy And I know like (pfft) 10 Chidera's with a good 10-year plan to recover our economy It's hard to imagine In a country where most of the college students Are aiming toward a medical or law degree We have so many issues with health and injustice in our courts That nobody ever sees the future clear enough So no matter how patient, brilliant, charismatic, resilient People are in medicine and policy Just to survive they'll spend every single day working jobs Raising quality of life in North America And that isn't their fault That was done on purpose by the ogas at the top Because our tradition says you listen to your Elders And it doesn't matter if they give a damn 'bout us or not What they can see sitting down right? I'd like to inquire about that sound bite Why would you be sitting down When the mountain is on fire And the kids are ill-equipped to put it out right So they learn to breathe the fumes as they outcry But of course you're sitting down Your pockets probably so heavy from dollar naira pounds Oh yeah that's why You leave your people in darkness You got a lot of properties outta state you leave often You buy'em outta greased pockets The youth are in police lockups It's justice via deposit You're just an echo of the colonizers You run this country for profit Put a politician in power For promising policy But the people who pay the piper Are punished with poverty Put the blame on the devil and praying for prophecy But the devil is the dishonesty in our democracy The time for casting out has come it's up to Us the brave, intelligents my compatriots We cannot back away we must stand up We no dey carry last we land on top
