Shadows of Justice
A song made by Abdulrahmon Lateef Omotayo
(Whispered) We carry the weight... the scars dem dey show
Silence don turn to fire... but fire dey burn wrong people oh
Dey walk through these halls with smiles wey fake
Secrets dey heavy, hearts wey don break
Trust turned to weapon, pain wey dey guide
Victims became hunters, darkness inside
E choke!
The system wey fail us, we fail ourselves
Justice wey blind us, we dey lose ourselves
Romance and betrayal, friendship and lies
Who be the villain when everybody cries?
We fight the wrong war, we hurt the wrong souls
Pain wey we carry dey take its toll
Misdirected anger, the innocent fall
Shadows of justice, we answer the call
But wetin we fighting? Wetin we defend?
When the cycle of pain no get end
Omo!
Campus life wey sweet turn bitter and cold
Stories untold, secrets we hold
Patriarchy wound us, we wound each other
Sister against sister, brother against brother
Wahala!
The ritual wey bind us na the pain we share
But vengeance wey blind us, we no even care
Love wey we seek dey slip through our hands
Power we claim built on sinking sand
We fight the wrong war, we hurt the wrong souls
Pain wey we carry dey take its toll
Misdirected anger, the innocent fall
Shadows of justice, we answer the call
But wetin we fighting? Wetin we defend?
When the cycle of pain no get end
Chai!
(Whispered) The hurt remain... but who go heal am?
We don become the monster wey we fear
Shadows... shadows... shadows of justice
