🎵 "Nigeria Wake Up" — by Decent Castor 🎵
(Intro)
Eh eh eh…
Decent Castor on this one…
For the streets… for the suffering youths…
For the mothers wey dey cry every night…
Nigeria… wake up… 🇳🇬💔
⸻
(Verse 1)
Things rough and tough for Naija
Everyday another bad news flyer
People dey hustle from morning reach night
Still no food chop, still no light
Children kidnapped, mothers dey cry
Some fathers no fit even ask why
Pain full the streets from north to south
Fear don block truth from many mouth
Our leaders' children dey overseas
Living soft life with luxury keys
While poor man pikin dey trek for rain
Still dey pray hard make e no die in pain
Tell me wetin we do deserve this life
Why peace turn enemy overnight
We get oil, we get strength, we get brain
But suffering still dey fall like rain
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Nigeria wake up, open your eyes
Too many hidden truths and lies
The youth dem tired, the people weak
But still we standing, still we speak
⸻
(Chorus)
Nigeria wake up, enough is enough
The road too hard, the life too tough
We dey survive but e no easy
Too many dreams don fade away quickly
Nigeria wake up, hear our cry
Too many innocent people dey die
God abeg heal this nation today
Make better days finally come our way
⸻
(Verse 2)
University graduate no work
Empty pocket still dey form smile for road
Many youths dey enter crime today
Not because dem bad, survival na play
Farmers no fit enter farm again
Fear of kidnappers causing pain
Market woman dey pray for sales
While inflation no gree reduce at all
Politicians dey campaign with sweet mouth
Promise heaven then disappear south
Election come, dem remember street
After winning, dem no know your feet
Na the same citizens wey dey vote
Still dey suffer inside same old boat
The rich dey flex for private jet
Poor man never chop breakfast yet
⸻
(Bridge)
How many tears go water this ground?
How many voices must cry this sound?
How many youths go lose their way
Before this country see brighter day?
⸻
(Chorus)
Nigeria wake up, enough is enough
The road too hard, the life too tough
We dey survive but e no easy
Too many dreams don fade away quickly
Nigeria wake up, hear our cry
Too many innocent people dey die
God abeg heal this nation today
Make better days finally come our way
⸻
(Verse 3)
Still I believe in the strength we carry
Naija spirit no fit bury
From Lagos streets to Akwa Ibom side
Greatness still dey deep inside
We sabi hustle, we sabi create
We no lazy, we just need chance
Give the youth better education
And watch the country rise again
No be to fight ourselves online
No be tribe or religion divide
Unity fit heal many scars
Together we fit reach the stars
Make leaders lead with fear of God
Not selfishness and wicked heart
Because power no be forever throne
One day everybody go stand alone
⸻
(Emotional Hook)
Mama dey pray for her son abroad
Another mama dey cry for morgue
One child dey hungry, another dey waste food
Tell me if this life really good
Children deserve to laugh and play
Not fear gunshots every day
We need peace inside this land
Nigeria rise and take your stand
⸻
(Verse 4)
No matter the pain we still dey hopeful
One day this darkness go become useful
History go remember this generation
As the youth wey fought for restoration
No give up on your dreams my brother
No let suffering bury your power
Every hustler wey dey survive today
Na real warrior finding way
Pray for the nation, pray for peace
Pray make corruption finally cease
Pray for the poor and homeless souls
Pray make love return our roads
⸻
(Final Chorus — Bigger Energy)
Nigeria wake up, enough is enough
The road too hard, the life too tough
But we still standing, we no go fall
One day blessings go reach us all
Nigeria wake up, hear our voice
Give the poor people reason rejoice
From the
