[Intro]
[A tense hum from the choir. The drums pulse like a heartbeat.]
You still dey talk…
You still dey threaten…
But you never answer.
[Choir rises steadily]
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
[Verse 1]
Every question I ask, you hide behind the crown.
Every truth I bring, you bury with your throne.
You call me rebel…
You call me traitor…
But never once you call yourself to account.
You speak of power.
You speak of judgment.
Yet your hands no clean.
Your silence no be wisdom…
Na guilt.
[Pre-Chorus]
No more speeches.
No more fear.
No more thunder in my ear.
If your mouth no fit speak the truth…
Then my hands go speak.
[Chorus]
Lightning, Lighting! Strike first!
Lightning, Lighting! Break the curse!
Lightning, Lighting! Truth go burst!
No more waiting…
No more mercy…
Lightning strike first!
[Choir rises steadily]
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
[Verse 2]
You tell the people say you righteous.
Tell them who cry because of your wars.
Tell them who lose father… lose mother…
Tell them whose blood stain this palace floor.
You wear gold to cover your shame.
You wear thunder to cover your fear.
But every king must answer someday.
Today… that day don reach.
[Pre-Chorus]
Enough talking.
Enough lies.
Even heaven don tire.
If justice no fit wait…
Then I no go wait.
[Chorus]
Lightning, Lighting! Strike first!
Lightning, Lighting! Break the curse!
Lightning, Lighting! Truth go burst!
No more waiting…
No more mercy…
Lightning strike first!
[Choir rises steadily]
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
[Bridge]
[The instruments pull back. Choir hums in rising harmony.]
I beg you as my father…
You no hear me.
I stand before you as your son…
You reject me.
Now I face you as your equal.
The next word…
Na action.
[Final Verse]
You wanted fear.
I brought courage.
You wanted silence.
I brought truth.
You wanted obedience.
I gave you a choice.
You refuse to hear…
So I go make you feel.
[The drums explode.]
[Final Chorus]
Lightning, Lighting, Strike first!
Lightning, Lighting! Split the sky!
Lightning, Lighting! Let truth rise!
No more running…
No more hiding…
LIGHTNING… STRIKE FIRST!
[Choir rises steadily]
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
Na na na na
Dom dom dom dom dom dom
[Choir erupts in layered harmony.]
