Title: "Mr. President, Forgive Us"
By Godswill Abbey (Afro-Amapiano Vibe)
[Intro – chant with bounce]
Yea yea yea yea…
Oh na we… oh na we oh!
Mr President, hear your people cry
From street to street, we dey beg you now
[Hook – melodic chant]
Subsidy fly, our pocket dry
Na hunger full, but we still dey try
If na cruise we cruise that time
No vex, na play, no be crime
[Chorus – singable bounce]
Mr President, forgive us o
We be pikin, no carry us go
We no know say e go reach like so
Now we humble, we dey beg you low
Obidients dey cry, loyalists dey try
But suffer no dey choose who dey left or right
We dey street, we dey bleed
No justice, no peace
[Verse – rap sing style, mid-tempo]
Dem dey whip boys wey dey sell data
But dem dey hail man wey chop beta
EFCC show muscle for camera
But dem no dey see senator dey scatter
Fuel don cost, food don run
Salary small, but wahala long
We dey para but we still dey strong
Na only God dey hold us firm
[Pre-Chorus – repeat chant style]
Na we vote, but we still dey beg
Na joke we joke, abeg no vex
Na only you fit make am better
We no want wahala, we want ladder
[Chorus – with backup harmony]
Mr President, forgive us o
We be your people, na beg we show
Subsidy don go, e don hit us low
Abeg no use us take balance score
Obidients dey cry, loyalists dey try
But suffer no dey choose who dey left or right
We dey street, we dey bleed
No justice, no peace
[Bridge – vibe switch, soft melody with log drum roll]
Ahh ahh... this country get sense
Make we no use power dey take offense
Youth dey grind, we dey find defense
But na love go make the tense go less
[Outro – spoken or soft melody]
We no be enemy
We still believe say we go rise
If you lead us with mercy
We go follow with pride…
