*Title: “Enough is Enough (No More)”**
**[Verse 1]**
Streetlight dey flicker, no light for the wire,
Mama dey chop in her kitchen with candle wey tired.
Dem promise make us nation, but all we dey touch be dust,
Every year same story, every year same trust.
Flag still dey fly, but the dream don borne for low,
Baby dey cry for hospital, no drugs, no bulb to glow.
We still wake for morning, but the road still smell like lie,
Big man for big office, simple man just die, die.
**[Chorus]**
Enough be enough, no more tears for gutter,
We don sing one song, we don sing am for water.
Africa cry, Africa cry, we don drown for shame,
We get land, we get gold, but no will to change.
**[Verse 2]**
School dey build, but chalk dey write for empty wall,
Mummy dey pay double fee while the system dey fall.
Youth dey for barbing shop, dey dream to leave the land,
But passport dey sell, even border no dey in their hand.
TV screen dey smile, dem dey show project for name,
But the road dey crack like promise dem never come to claim.
We clap for the speech, we nod for the empty song,
But the food we get be leftover from feast we no dey belong.
**[Chorus]**
Enough be enough, no more tears for gutter,
We don sing one song, we don sing am for water.
Africa cry, Africa cry, we don drown for shame,
We get land, we get gold, but no will to change.
**[Bridge]**
Mama Africa don rise, from the dust and from the pain,
Grandchildren dey ask questions, we still dey fear to name.
We no fit bless bad man, we no fit kneel for machine,
Power dey for our hand; we must chop the invisible chain.
**[Verse 3]**
No more wait for saviour wit tie, wit suit, wit smile,
No more pray for table when the food dey stay for aisle.
We go march with clean fire, with our hand and with our song,
We go claim the name for Nigeria, make the anthem strong.
If the future be mirror, let am show a cleaner face,
A nation wey don remember say e don lose am way to grace.
We go plant seed for justice, even if the soil dey red,
Till the children of tomorrow say: “Our parents choose the light instead.”
**[Chorus – Final]**
Enough be enough, no more tears for gutter,
We don sing one song, we don sing am for water.
Africa cry, Africa cry, we don drown for shame,
We get land, we get gold, but no will to change.
**[Outro]**
So raise your voice, raise your hand, let the chant begin,
From Delta to the North, let the drum sound like a hymn.
No more silence, no more fear, let the new song break the chain,
Africa rise, Nigeria rise, we go never be the same again.
