(Verse 1)
Yo, let me paint a picture, vivid and stark
Of a nation in darkness, where hope leaves its mark
Not on progress, but on promises broken
The trust of the people, left tattered and token
From the delta's oil, to the hustler's plea
Our leaders take plenty, for all eyes to see
They talk a good game, on the podium's height
But their actions betray, in the fading daylight.
Inflation is soaring, like a kite in the breeze
While basic amenities crumble with ease
No light in the homes, just generators' hum
A symphony of struggle, where futures go numb.
(Chorus)
Oh, Naija, my Naija, the giant they claim
But the people are weary, enduring the shame
Of misgovernance ruling, with an iron-clad fist
While potential lies dormant, a future unkissed
By the dawn of true progress, a leader's true heart
Just corruption and greed, tearing families apart.
(Verse 2)
They fly in their jets, while our roads are like traps
Potholes like craters, causing fatal mishaps
Hospitals empty, with no drugs on the shelf
While their kin seek treatment, for their own damn health
Education's a joke, strikes are the norm
Our youth left adrift, weathering life's storm
No jobs for the masses, just handouts and lies
A cycle of poverty, before our own eyes.
They stash all the stolen, in foreign accounts
Leaving us stranded, with meager amounts
The pain of the people, a silent refrain
While they toast champagne, washing away the stain.
(Chorus)
Oh, Naija, my Naija, the giant they claim
But the people are weary, enduring the shame
Of misgovernance ruling, with an iron-clad fist
While potential lies dormant, a future unkissed
By the dawn of true progress, a leader's true heart
Just corruption and greed, tearing families apart.
(Bridge)
We cry for a change, for a voice to be heard
For a leader who's honest, and keeps every word
Not for their pockets, but for collective good
To lift up the nation, like it rightfully should
From the streets to the संसद, the message is clear
Your time is running out, banish all fear
Of accountability coming, like a reckoning tide
For the pain you have caused, nowhere to hide.
(Chorus)
Oh, Naija, my Naija, the giant they claim
But the people are weary, enduring the shame
Of misgovernance ruling, with an iron-clad fist
While potential lies dormant, a future unkissed
By the dawn of true progress, a leader's true heart
Just corruption and greed, tearing families apart.
(Outro)
Yeah, the struggle is real, but our spirit won't break
We rise from the ashes, for goodness sake
For a Nigeria brighter, a future so grand
With leaders who serve, and uplift our land.
