🎤 Intro (Boy J – Spoken softly over slow Afrobeat chords)

> Hmm…

My people don suffer, my land don cry…

From Buea to Bamenda, blood for ground…

But still we rise — we no go tire…

This one na for my Southwest and Northwest brothers and sisters…

Cameroon, we go find peace one day.

— Boy J… talk true.

(soft background vocal hums: “Ahhh ahhh… Peace… oh peace…”)

🎶 Chorus (Lead + Backup vocals)

> Mama dey cry oh, papa don go,

Village burn down, wey the children go?

I say peace go come, one day we go smile,

Cameroon my home, make we heal this time.

(Backup female vocals echo)

“We go smile one day… (one day oh)”

“We go find our way… (find our way oh)”

“Peace for the land… (peace for the land oh)”

“Southwest, Northwest stand oh…”

🎧 Verse 1 (Boy J)

> I remember when the drums dey play,

Now na gunshot dey wake the day.

Youth dem scatter, school don close,

Dreams dey fade, na so e go?

Soldier for road, mama dey fear,

Pickin for bush, no place to hear.

But still we pray under the moonlight,

Say tomorrow go bright, we go see light.

🎶 Chorus Repeat (With more emotion + ad-libs)

> Mama dey cry oh, papa don go,

Village burn down, wey the children go?

I say peace go come, one day we go smile,

Cameroon my home, make we heal this time.

(Backup harmonies lift the emotion — “Ohhh ohhh… heal this time…”)

🎧 Verse 2 (Boy J + Female Harmony)

> Brother against brother, why we dey fight?

We all na one, make we hold tight.

Tears for the river, pain for my chest,

Na unity go bring the rest.
