Lyrics
Description
[Intro – Spoken softly]
Yeah…
This one’s for the streets…
For the people they forgot…
For Nigeria…
Listen…
🎤 [Verse 1 – Rap]
I wake up to sirens, tears on the pavement,
The system’s a cage, we’re trapped in enslavement.
The leaders dine, the masses crawl,
We fight for crumbs, but we built it all.
Power in pockets, justice is missing,
The poor man’s voice—nobody's listening.
Our backs are breaking, but we still rise,
We carry this pain deep in our eyes.
From Lekki toll to the village square,
We bleed in silence, is that fair?
But even with the wounds they never heal,
We spit the truth, the pain is real.
🎶 [Chorus – Sung, soulful]
Oh, Nigeria, can you hear our cry?
We’ve been broken, we’ve been left behind.
Still we love you, still we try,
Oh Nigeria, don’t let us die.
Oh, Nigeria, we’re still here,
Through the struggle, through the fear.
We fight for tomorrow, we fight to be free,
Oh Nigeria, remember me.
🎤 [Verse 2 – Rap]
They silence the youth, but we ain’t done,
We are the daughters, we are the sons.
We are the fire, we are the beat,
Marching with power through every street.
SARS still lurking, dreams still burning,
Hearts still hurting, tables still turning.
The oil spills, the pockets grow fat,
But the people in the mud, yeah, we know that.
You can chain our hands, but not our minds,
Truth is a flame you cannot hide.
We spit this verse for the ones who fell,
We carry their names, we ring that bell.
🎶 [Chorus – Sung, with more soul]
Oh, Nigeria, can you hear our cry?
We’ve been broken, we’ve been left behind.
Still we love you, still we try,
Oh Nigeria, don’t let us die.
Oh, Nigeria, we’re still here,
Through the struggle, through the fear.
We fight for tomorrow, we fight to be free,
Oh Nigeria, remember me.
🎤 [Bridge – Rap, slowed tempo]
We ain’t asking for much, just a little light,
Just a little truth in the dead of night.
We ain’t perfect, but we still care,
Even when it feels like you’re not there.
Justice is the beat that we won’t drop,
This is our heartbeat, it won’t stop.
For every soul lost in this fight,
We rap their names through the mic tonight.
🎶 [Outro – Soft chant with harmonies]
Oh Nigeria… oh Nigeria…
Hear the cry… of your people…
We still love you… we still believe…
Oh Nigeria… don’t forget me…
(Beat fades out with soft drum and bass)
