Lyrics
Description
[Intro – News Clips Overbeat]
Voices cryin’ out in Makurdi
Communities displaced in Guma
Another night of gunshots in Logo LGA
They askin’ — “Where’s the government?”
The people tired, they marchin’
We tired of buryin’ our children
This ain’t just politics, this is survival
[Verse 1]
I traded my peace for protection, can’t sleep in my section
‘Cause killers roam free with no damn apprehension
I gave 'em a chance, begged 'em to speak
But silence from leaders been killin’ the weak
It's mad, how they slaughter in Benue and chill
Whole families wiped, but they tell us be still
Farming or fleeing, no real decision
We caught in the middle of war and religion
[Chorus]
It’s bigger than tribe and fight
It’s a war on the value of life
Can’t change this pain overnight
But we gotta start, can’t just pray and hide
Benue been bleedin' for years
Still no justice, just trauma and tears
We gon’ make it count while we here
God is the only man we fear
[Verse 2]
They say it's herders, then say it's revenge
Whatever the name, the blood never ends
Villages burnin', they silence the press
But trauma don't lie, you can feel our stress
I seen a mother holdin’ her baby
Cried to the sky, "Why they do this to me?"
Now she alone, no support, no aid
Another soul buried under Benue clay
[Bridge – Spoken Word Style]
We ain’t tryna start no war
We just want peace, just want the law
To work like it's s’posed to
To protect, not ghost you
How many more coffins, how many more graves
Before the headlines start calling us brave?
This ain't about votes, this about lives
They killin’ our future, right in our eyes
[Chorus – Repeat]
It’s bigger than tribe and fight
It’s a war on the value of life
Can’t change this pain overnight
But we gotta start, can’t just pray and hide
Benue been bleedin' for years
Still no justice, just trauma and tears
We gon’ make it count while we here
God is the only man we fear
[Outro – Fade with Audio Clip]
“We just want to live. We want to farm, raise our kids, and grow old in peace.”
