Lyrics
Verse 1
What I’m about to say
Are the things that I know, oh
The things that touch the soul
Of everyone I know, oh
The pain, the tears
The hustle, the kids
No light, no roads
The rise and fall of man
Every day, we run the race
Every day, we fight for bread
Fuel goes up, prices rise
While the people bow their heads
The crude oil, the iron ore
The marble, the gold
The cocoa, the timber
And every mineral resource
That this nation holds
Tell me, where is the wealth?
Tell me, where does it go?
We are rich beneath the ground
But the people suffer more
Chorus
I say…
What’s happening?
To all these things I’ve mentioned
I say…
What’s happening?
To Sharia and the so-called law
What’s happening?
To the people being murdered
Say, what’s happening?
To the senators and all the Reps
What’s happening?
Mr. President, please tell me now
Tell me now, oh-oh-oh…
What’s happening?
When the truth is pushed aside?
What’s happening?
When the people lose their lives?
Verse 2
The murders, the cases
Brutality every day
The press reports the sorrow
But the sorrow never fades
The shout and cry
Of a mother every day
She calls the name of her child
But there’s nothing left to say
The rain, the sun
Gunshot — one down
Another family grieving
Another body on the ground
The race every day
The doctor, the nurse
The police, the army
The militant, the youth
Everybody bears the burden
Everybody feels the pain
The massacre, the burning
Corruption everywhere
We pray for peace at night
But wake up to the same
How long will the people suffer?
How long will we live in fear?
Chorus
I say, what’s happening?
To all these things I’ve mentioned
I say, what’s happening?
To refineries and all our roads
What’s happening?
We can’t travel on our roads again
What’s happening?
Kidnapping is everywhere
What’s happening?
When the poor can’t find a way?
What’s happening?
When tomorrow feels like yesterday?
What’s happening?
Mr. President, please tell me now
Tell me now, oh-oh-oh…
Bridge
We have cried, we have prayed
We have waited for change
But the years keep passing by
And the pain remains the same
We have oil, we have gold
We have rivers, we have land
But the people still are hungry
Still reaching for a helping hand
No more silence, no more fear
Let the truth be loud and clear
This is not a call for war
It is justice we are asking for
Bridge / Outro
Mr. President…
Pick up your call
Mr. Governor…
Your people call
Mr. President…
We need answers
Mr. President…
Nigerians call
Nigerians call…
Nigerians call…
Mr. President…
Hear the people cry
Mr. Governor…
See the tears in our eyes
Mr. President…
We need answers
Mr. President…
Nigerians call
Nigerians call…
Nigerians call…
Mr. President…
We are still standing
Mr. President…
But the people are demanding
Mr. President…
Justice, peace and light
Mr. President…
Make this nation right
Nigerians call…
Nigerians call…
Repeat and fade
