Now, Wake
Nothing is working. Nothing will ever work.
Horrible leaders, they are thieves - no good.
Security agencies nko? They worst - nuisance.
Catalysing what most of us now know first-hand. Pain.
Nested chains of pain, raining hail, doom and gloom.
I curse all of them. Let the country just split.
At the snap of my fingers, SLEEP! Let go!
All you hear from now, believe. Run wild.
I agree, we are not yet there. But believe. Stay firm.
Just put in your best. And pass the message on.
I paint the best cards. I show the real deal.
Cos what you see is what will be one day. Now, WAKE!
Nothing is working. Nothing will ever work.
Na to jewe commot naim be the surest way.
No matter what you do gravity go pull you down.
Even if you fake the smile, ulcer go hold on tight.
Haba abeg start being real and don’t feed me crap.
My path has been sealed with undiluted hate.
At the snap of my fingers, SLEEP! Let go!
Why you forgotten all my words?
Rapide. So quick.
You think, nothing has changed?
Please play the replay
Feel free. Do what you want,
Watch. Regardez!
But when you cross that bridge,
There won’t be u-turns.
Cos when you lose all hope,
You gone. Lost cause.
I paint the best cards. I show the real deal.
Cos what you see is what will be one day. Now, WAKE!
Wait first, this therapy done begin to fill belle?
Nothing changed at all. Wahalas sidon wait.
Lil ones are barely managing to be in school.
And these are those that can get there safe.
Despair dey lurk. Close ally now fave.
Abi therapy don start to dey reverse death?
At the snap of my fingers, SLEEP! Let go!
All you hear from now, believe. Run wild.
I agree, we are not yet there. But believe. Stay firm.
Why you dey fall asleep behind the wheel na?
I paint the best cards. I show the real deal.
Cos what you see is what will be one day. Now, WAKE!
