The day Nigeria Wakes up, Africa would never be the same again
Look I have a dream just like Martin Luther King,
That despite all these L's I was born to win,
Be a source of inspiration when I rap and sing and I'm
Still clinging to that vision, Damn it means everything
But as I evolve I came to figure out
That these mofos in power carry a lot of clout
Suppress the masses for their gain go to those extremes
(You are welcome to the land of shattered dreams)
Ah, we just asked for change look what they did to us,
Is it a crime for us to dare to be ambitious,
The police meant to keep us safe are here extorting us,
Are we Greeks?
Cos I swear these people here feel like they're demi-gods
They all promised something better
Now it seems like no one cares,
Only change I've seen is them turning our dreams to nightmares,
If this' the type of change we get to see again
Again, Then the labour of our heroes past was all in vain
Shey you dey see the suffer
People and dreams dey die oh
Mehn ahswear E no proper
Government sef no dey try oh
Cos it seey like to the only way to make it is to make it out of here
Mofos on top those chairs
E no go better for them oh
Arise o compatriots, Nigeria's call obey,
But when we answered they took our lives away
Can you see the level of this tragedy
They just wanted Nigeria to be a better place to be, Damn!
You can't take what you can't give it's not okay,
Told us to prepare for change but we went the other way
And someone shared wheel barrow say na youth empowerment
Excuse me sir, walahi tahlahi you be Werey!
Country's like a ticking bomb cos it gets to the most of us
Broken dreams and little chances leaders sef no get remorse
Indirectly telling us you want to make it, make it out
And still they block everyway make sure you don't find another route
Blacks in America work twice as hard just to make it there
But now we're working four times twice as hard just to make it here
It's like the S is silent and we all living in Spain
Seems like the labour of our heroes past was all in vain
