Papa's Land

Ayy, Papa's land, Papa's land

They took it all away, ayy

Forty years we dey plant on this ground

Sweat and blood, natotela to Almighty

Baba left us this land, clear clear

But soon as he pass away, relatives turn wicked

Mayo, see the heartlessness

They say the land was only for Baba, not for us

But we buried am on that same soil

Where our children born, where we build our home

Muli shani? How you take from orphans?

How you look in a child's eye and steal?

Papa's land, they stole Papa's land

Relatives came like vultures, no shame, no shame

Fifty years of sweat, they grab in one day

Heartless people, heartless ways

But God see everything, God see

Justice coming, Papa's land coming home

We didn't fight, we pray and we trust

But some people only understand cruelty

Mako wasted, generations wasted

Just because uncles and aunties get greedy

They claim the land, they claim authority

But foundation we build on that ground dey solid

Orphans crying, mothers struggling

While relatives counting money, laughing at our pain

Ifwe no fit fight with paper, ifwe fight with truth

This song dey carry our voice to the heavens

Papa's land, they stole Papa's land

Relatives came like vultures, no shame, no shame

Fifty years of sweat, they grab in one day

Heartless people, heartless ways

But God see everything, God see

Justice coming, Papa's land coming home

Papa's land, ayy

They can't hide it forever

Justice coming, coming, coming

God no sleep
