“Cry of the People”
(Verse 1)
Mama dey count the last naira for soup,
Papa still dey trek with worn-out shoes,
Children for street dey hustle till night,
Still no food, still no light.
Every market price don rise again,
Hard work no dey cover pain,
People dey pray just to survive,
While leaders say, “Nigeria will thrive.”
(Pre-Chorus)
How long we go suffer so?
How long tears go still dey flow?
The masses crying every day,
But power people look away.
(Chorus)
Nigeria, hear the people cry,
Too many promises, too many lies,
Insecurity everywhere we turn,
Families grieving while cities burn.
We no want violence, we no want war,
We just want justice from those in power,
2027 make truth lead the way,
INEC, do the right thing on election day.
(Verse 2)
Tinubu say make people endure,
But the hardship still dey cure no more,
Fuel high, transport high,
Young graduates still dey ask why.
Wike dey build roads and flyovers,
But Rivers people still dey fight each other,
Politics don divide the land,
While common people dey empty hand.
Sim Fubara standing through the storm,
Political battles never calm,
Rivers State still dey bleed from pride,
While loyalists choose different sides.
(Verse 3)
From the North to the South, anger loud,
Citizens tired, hope no dey proud,
Bandits, kidnappers, fear for road,
Farmers abandon their heavy load.
Peter Obi still dey talk reform,
Atiku dey campaign through every storm,
Politicians shouting left and right,
But the people just want better life.
Some dey promise change every year,
Yet corruption still dey everywhere,
Big men secure with convoy line,
While ordinary people dey decline.
(Bridge)
Listen to the youths, listen to the street,
Hungry people no dey sleep,
Power belongs to all Nigerians,
Not just party loyal champions.
INEC, shine your eyes this time,
No let democracy become crime,
Count every vote and make it clear,
The whole world dey watch this year.
(Final Chorus)
Nigeria, rise from the pain,
Let justice and peace finally reign,
No tribe, no hate, no stolen crown,
Let the people’s voice resound.
We pray for healing of every state,
Before suffering turns to hate,
One nation standing hand in hand,
For a better and united land.
