Yeah, yeah, see gobe na.
E be like say the sun don hide, ah-ah.
And the darkness don find address for inside our room, omo.
I no want make my mama hear this one o,
Because if she hear the melody of this pain,
The shock fit stop her heartbeat, chai!
Listen...
This life wey we dey live, e dey twist like wire, see am.
Na from fear to fear, we dey dance with the ghost, no dulling.
We dey fear to go farm, fear the ones we love most, ehen.
We dey fear to go school, fear the road we dey tread, abi?
We dey fear to live life, with a crown of hot lead.
Abeg, pity my mama, make she no hear this fire.
Because this breaking news, e get sharp sting inside.
E fit stop her heart, nowhere for her to hide, omo!
Dis wahala wey dey scatter us, who go save us from dis fire?
Dis scar na forever, no be temporary pain, ah-ah.
Animals get levels, dem don pass us for grace, shey you dey?
Before, na cattle and yam, now bandit get a base, oya.
Check the legislative seat, see the gun-toting man, e shock you?
Dem don enter chamber, dem don change up the plan, no cap!
Dem preach say education na scam, make we stay for the shed,
But look at the technology, see the trends in their head!
Dem dey negotiate with state, getting deals in the sun, see am na.
They even get representative, for the work that they done, ah-ah!
Abeg, pity my mama, make she no hear this fire.
Because this breaking news, e get sharp sting inside.
E fit stop her heart, nowhere for her to hide, omo!
Dis wahala wey dey scatter us, who go save us from dis fire?
Dis scar na forever, no be temporary pain, ah-ah.
God abeg o, see the mess wey we cause.
Na election we run, but we broke all the laws, wallahi.
We trade off our future for a bag of white rice, see am na.
Now we dey pay the bill, and we dey pay the price, e don do!
Yeah, the hunger was temporary, no wahala.
But the scar? The scar na forever, omo!
Oyo, Borno, Kano… the story remains the same, chai!
Who go help us carry this weight? Abeg, oya!
