Nigeria Needs You (Remix)
A song made by 🍒X-TO VIBES 🍒
(Bow! Bow!)
X-TO VIBES Drop it (Grrr!)
(Verse 1)
(Long Sorrowful flute)
Chukwu God... abeg answer us oh
(Soft talking drum)
Naija dey bleed... everyday
E don tey wey we dey suffer for dis land oh
Innocent blood dey flow like river for street
Mama dey cry, her pikin never return
Corruption don scatter everything we build
The people wey suppose protect us
Na dem dey cause all di wahala sef
Sacrifice everywhere, ritual killing
Young life wasted, future don quench
Nigeria, my land,
Killing don taya, corruption don grow
Innocent lives gone, like leaves in the wind
We need a change, Lord, make it begin
God of mercy, hear our cry tonight
Shine Your light, heal this land, make right
Nigeria, my land, we no go give up yet
We need Your intervention.
(Chorus)
(Flute melody with backup vocals crying)
We cry for change, Nigeria, can you hear our pain?
Blood on every corner, dreams washed away by rain
Corruption sell our tomorrow, power feed on the weak
We need a change, we need it now
Tired of the tears, tired of the vow
Rise up, my people, let the truth be known
Nigeria deserves better than bones and stone
How many more graves? How many more tears?
How many more years we go live in fear?
The system break, the weak dey pay the price
While truth dey hide, and lies dey wear nice
Too many tears, too many graves...
(Verse 2)
Politicians dey chop money while we dey hungry
Blood money dey flow from top to bottom
No justice for the poor man pikin
Rich man children dey drive pass corpse for road
Na only prayer remain for us now
Cos the system don totally collapse
Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa - we all dey suffer
This evil government no get conscience at all,
Schools lock, hospitals empty, but pockets full upstairs
Promise after promise, but hope dey wear thin
Brother kill brother, power make man blind
Sacrifice of the poor, to feed the pride of a few
But we still believe, even when tears fall like rain
That one day justice go rise, wash away the pain
(Chorus)
(Flute melody with backup vocals crying)
We cry for change, Nigeria, can you hear our pain?
Blood on every corner, dreams washed away by rain
Corruption sell our tomorrow, power feed on the weak
We need a change, we need it now
Tired of the tears, tired of the vow
Rise up, my people, let the truth be known
Nigeria deserves better than bones and stone
How many more graves? How many more tears?
How many more years we go live in fear?
The system break, the weak dey pay the price
While truth dey hide, and lies dey wear nice
Too many tears, too many graves...
(Verse 3)
(Yoruba prayer)
Olorun wa oh, gbo adura wa
(Our God, hear our prayer)
A tired, a don tire
Innocent blood dey cry from ground
Only You fit save us now
A Classroom Because a crime scene.
A blackboard lost its teacher.
A Desk lost it owner.
A mother lost her sleep.
A father lost his voice.
Somewhere tonight a phone is Ringing,
Not because of celebration,
Not because of good news
We have called the police
We have called our Neighbors
We have called our pastor and imams
The only Number where remain.
Na the People where we elect.
Unknown gunmen and Bandit has been terrorizing our country for a long time let our leaders rise for the the people that votes them...
(Chorus)
(Flute fades with soft crying sounds)
We cry for change, Nigeria, can you hear our pain?
Blood on every corner, dreams washed away by rain
Corruption sell our tomorrow, power feed on the weak
We need a change, we need it now
Tired of the tears, tired of the vow
Rise up, my people, let the truth be known
Nigeria deserves better than bones and stone
How many more graves? How many more tears?
How many more years we go live in fear?
The system break, the weak dey pay the price
While truth dey hide, and lies dey wear nice
Too many tears, too many graves...
