Ninja Go Survive

Intro (spoken with passion)

Eh! My people…

We dey suffer, but we never give up

This Naija blood strong… stronger than wahala

(Gentle Soul pon this one… )

Verse 1

No light for the street, still the people dey smile,

We dey waka everyday, just to hustle for life.

Government dey promise, but na lie we dey see,

Still we rise every morning, ‘cause tomorrow go be.

Chorus (anthemic, catchy)

Naija go survive, oh oh oh

No matter how dem try, oh oh oh

We go rise, we go shine, we go dey alright,

We no go tire, till the sun go bright.

(Gentle Soul say Naija no go fall!)

Verse 2

Price dey climb everyday, still the market dey full,

Mama dey pray for better, papa still dey push tool.

Dem dey chop from the top, but we dey sweat for the ground,

Still together we dey stronger, hope dey carry us around.

Chorus (repeat, more powerful)

Naija go survive, oh oh oh

No matter how dem try, oh oh oh

We go rise, we go shine, we go dey alright,

We no go tire, till the sun go bright.

Bridge (call & response)

Call: Who go save the land?

Response: Na we, na we!

Call: Who go break the chain?

Response: Na we, na we!

Together we dey, divided we fall,

Future dey call, we must stand tall.

Verse 3 (hopeful)

Even when darkness cover the sky,

Naija spirit dey rise, we never say die.

Youth dey shout, the movement dey strong,

This land belong to us, we must carry am long.

Final Chorus (anthem-style, layered voices)

Naija go survive, oh oh oh

No matter how dem try, oh oh oh

We go rise, we go shine, we go dey alright,

We no go tire, till the sun go bright.

(Gentle Soul… )

Tomorrow go better, our turn go come…

Naija for life.
