We are the hustling graduates
Hustling and bustling like a struggling whore
Den nor know our struggle
So they can't feel our hustling...
We fill like drowning......
Like a boat that sinking...
Every day we searching
Searching for job
But no job in sight
Lek we lost our sigh-(ah ya)
Leaving our hope in rubble...
O ya- our blood the bubble..
Boiling like a fish steaming in a bottle...
Emm- but na so we for day..?
Emm...everyday we day waiting, waiting for connection to lighting our way.....?
God... is this the only way...? Eh!
When our degrees go pave our way?
Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh,-oh-oh-
ooh-oh-ooh!
La-la-laa-la-la
la-la-laa-la-la-la-laa
the drums are beating, but our hearts are pleading...( Oh ya)
The drums are beating, but our eyes are weeping, weeping to see the dreams we wishing
Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh,-oh-oh-
ooh-oh-ooh!
La-la-laa-la-la
la-la-laa-la-la-la-laa
"Wake up morning with the same story(uh-huh)
Another day pass, no job in sight (ehn!)
Certificate for hand, but the future opaque
All that promise, for goodness sake?"
"Oh-oh-oh, we dey hustle, we dey sweat day and night
But the door for opportunity, *na connection* open way!"
(Ad-lib: "Yeah! Na so e be!")
Sometimes we dey wonder, if we wasted all my prime (hmm-mm)
All the books we read, the sleepless nights we had
For a system, wey no care, i
"The system, e tire we oh! (Tire we!)
We need chance, we need space, we need the truth!
For the future of the African youth!"
"When will merit lead the line?
When will justice truly shine?
Break these chains, break the fear!
Let our real talents flourish here!"
Our spirit sinking, deep down inside (oh-oh)
All that knowledge, nowhere to hide!
Oh-oh, the sweat we pour, the knowledge we gain
Still we stand here, under the sun and rain
Looking for a ladder, looking for a sign
But the rules they play, they always intertwine...
**Ehh-ehh, The Unseen Ladder, they hide the key! (Hide the key!)**
**Ayyy, Na who you know, not what you know! (Not what you know!)**
**We dey hustle everyday, for this concrete jungle way! (Everyday!)**
**But the job for graduate, na only *connection* regulate! (Regulate!)**
**this system e tire me oh! (E tire me! Haba!)*
OOh-oh-ooh-oh-oh,-oh-oh-
ooh-oh-ooh!
La-la-laa-la-la
la-la-laa-la-la-la-laa!- the drums are beating,but our hearts are pleading (Oh ya!)
the drums are beating, but our eyes are weeping, weeping to see the dreams we wishing
Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh,-oh-oh-
