[Intro]

Woke up to chaos, same old scene

No light, no peace, just corrupt regimes

Can’t trust the leaders, they playin’ with lives

False promises wrapped up in lies


[Verse 1]

Nigeria bleeding, hearts gone cold

They dine in gold while the masses fold

Gas price up, still the roads ain’t fixed

Empty promises, same old script

Lights go out, but the bills stay high

Talk truth here, they label you a spy

Hustle legit, still face arrest

Speak your mind, they say it's a threat

Elеction fraud, they rig the dice

Thеn sell us lies for a grain of rice

Steal our voice, then raise the price

Smile on screen but cold like ice

Fake results, same old game

New face, but the plan’s the same

Corrupt cult hands got nation bound

Still we rise from the underground

(do you know how much is price of cement?... do you know how much is price of rice?... we need to get something done!)


[Bridge]

No help, no shield, it’s us or dust

No love in the game, just greed and lust

Still we move, ‘cause we know we must (we must)


[Chorus]

No light, no food, but they still campaign

Big talk, no change — just more pain

We cry out loud, they act like it’s fine

Count our votes, then delete the line

Same old lies in a brand new suit

They rob the tree, then burn the root

We want truth, but they sell us fear

Time gon’ come, we ain’t stopping here

(We need a change!, we need more change!)


[Verse 2]

Empty schools, no chalk, no class

No teacher there, just broken glass

Kids outside while the rich man laughs

They steal funds, then they move so fast

No desk, no books, no light

But they tell us we’ll be alright

No food, but the fees still bite

We fight back, ‘cause the pain feels right

No jobs, just scams and stress

Hard life, no peace, just guess and guess

No silence, I let it all unfold

Even when I’m tired, I’m still bold

System bent, but we still don’t break

Born in fire, so we learn what’s fake

No more games, now we wide awake

Time to move, for the people’s sake


[Chorus]

No light, no food, but they still campaign

Big talk, no change — just more pain

We cry out loud, they act like it’s fine

Count our votes, then delete the line

Same old lies in a brand new suit

They rob the tree, then burn the root

We want truth, but they sell us fear

Time gon’ come, we ain’t stopping here (B.A.V)


[Outro]

Tell 'em the silence is over, we speak loud

From the ghetto corner to rebel crowd

System cold, but we lit that flame

B Aliyon, they gon’ know that name
