[male
vocals] (
Dark
piano
keys
echoing)
Yeah
Listen
The
streets
are
cold
The
pockets
are
empty
And
the
future?
It’
s
fading
Check
it
Sun
come
up
but
the
light
don't
shine
in
the
slums
We
dying
for
a
country
that
never
gives
us
crumbs
They
talking
'bout
change,
promise
of
a
better
day
But
all
I
see
is
debt
and
bills
that
we
gotta
pay
They
borrow
from
the
East,
they
borrow
from
the
West
While
the
masses
at
the
bottom
put
the
hunger
to
the
test
Kidnappers
in
the
bush,
white
collar
in
the
lounge
We
just
want
a
simple
life,
why
you
acting
so
unhinged?
Politician
in
the
mansion,
sipping
on
the
wine
While
my
brother
on
the
street
looking
for
a
sign
Election
season
come,
they
dragging
out
the
youth
Using
us
as
weapons,
they
don't
care
about
the
truth
Oh,
Nigeria,
why
you
breaking
every
heart?
Tearing
down
the
dreams
before
they
even
get
to
start (
Oh,
the
land
is
crying)
Promises
are
hollow,
empty
words
upon
the
air
Leaving
us
in
silence,
with
a
heavy
load
to
bear (
We're
falling,
we're
falling)
Pipeline
leaking,
blood
on
the
soil
of
the
delta
They
treating
us
like
strangers
in
our
own
local
shelter
They
send
the
boys
to
rig
it,
put
a
gun
in
every
hand
Then
leave
us
in
the
gutter
when
they
ruling
over
land
It’
s
a
cycle
of
the
wicked,
stealing
from
the
pot
Giving
us
a
little,
taking
back
the
lot
they
got
I
remember
when
they
told
us
we
were
meant
to
be
the
best
Now
the
heartbeat
of
the
nation
is
failing
in
the
chest
If
you
see
the
youth
today,
you
see
a
shadow
of
a
ghost
Fighting
for
survival
from
the
harbor
to
the
coast
Oh,
Nigeria,
why
you
breaking
every
heart?
Tearing
down
the
dreams
before
they
even
get
to
start (
Oh,
the
land
is
crying)
Promises
are
hollow,
empty
words
upon
the
air
Leaving
us
in
silence,
with
a
heavy
load
to
bear (
We're
falling,
we're
falling)
Can
you
feel
the
pulse
fading?
Can
you
hear
the
mothers
praying?
Borrowing
the
future
just
to
cover
up
the
present
Living
in
a
nightmare
that
they
selling
as
a
heaven
We
rise,
we
fall,
we
watch
the
empire
burn
Will
we
ever
get
the
things
that
we
deserve?
So
keep
the
campaign
posters,
keep
the
lies
in
the
news
We
ain't
got
nothing
left,
nothing
more
left
to
lose
From
the
city
to
the
village,
the
story
is
the
same
Just
another
broken
promise
in
a
heartless
game
I’
m
tired
of
the
waiting,
tired
of
the
pain
Tired
of
dancing
in
this
artificial
rain
But
I
stay
standing,
even
when
the
wind
blows
Deep
inside
the
rhythm,
that’
s
just
how
the
story
goes
Oh,
Nigeria,
why
you
breaking
every
heart?
Tearing
down
the
dreams
before
they
even
get
to
start (
Oh,
the
land
is
crying)
Promises
are
hollow,
empty
words
upon
the
air
Leaving
us
in
silence,
with
a
heavy
load
to
bear (
We're
falling,
we're
falling)
Yeah
It’
s
a
long
road
But
the
truth
don’
t
stop
One
day
One
day
the
sun
will
actually
shine
For
real (
Falling) (
Falling)
