[Intro] Yeah
yeah…
Naija,
my
country…
How
we
take
reach
here?
Politician
dey
fly
abroad,
But
the
people
dey
suffer
for
house…
[Verse 1] When
election
season
come,
dem
remember
the
youth,
Dem
bring
small
money,
tell
you
say, “
Brother,
stand
for
the
truth.”
But
the
truth
get
another
meaning
when
the
money
don
land,
Give
the
jobless
boy
weapon,
put
anger
for
his
hand. “
Go
fight
for
me,”
dem
tell
am, “
Go
defend
our
interest.”
But
when
trouble
come
knocking,
Na
the
poor
boy
face
the
arrest.
Your
children
dey
study
overseas,
Your
family
dey
live
in
luxury,
But
the
children
of
the
poor
man
Dey
hustle
just
to
eat.
[Pre-Chorus] When
your
body
get
problem,
You
fly
abroad
for
treatment.
When
your
family
needs
protection,
You
fly
first-class
without
tension.
But
the
hospital
for
your
constituency
No
medicine,
no
light,
no
bed.
Mama
dey
wait
for
doctor,
Papa
dey
pray
make
he
no
dead.
[Chorus] Politician,
politician,
Why
you
no
dey
feel
our
pain?
Your
medical
check-up
na
abroad,
But
our
people
dey
suffer
for
rain.
Your
children
dey
live
in
comfort,
Our
children
dey
search
for
job.
You
use
poor
boys
for
thuggery,
Then
you
call
them “
criminal
mob.”
Na
who
dey
fool
who?
Na
who
dey
fool
who?
You
promise
heaven
during
election,
After
election,
nothing
new.
[Verse 2] You
buy
mansion
for
your
family,
You
buy
cars
with
tinted
glass,
You
build
another
empire,
While
the
common
man
dey
count
him
last.
You
tell
the
young
man, “
Be
patient,”
But
your
children
no
dey
wait.
Dem
get
admission,
dem
get
connection,
Dem
get
everything
on
plate.
The
boy
wey
you
recruit
for
fighting
Could
have
been
an
engineer.
The
girl
wey
you
ignore
for
years
Could
have
been
a
pioneer.
But
instead
of
creating
opportunities,
You
create
another
battle
line.
You
divide
us
by
religion,
You
divide
us
by
tribe.
[Pre-Chorus] North
against
South,
East
against
West,
Everybody
dey
fight
everybody,
While
the
politicians
dey
rest.
When
we
finally
wake
up,
Dem
go
tell
us
say
we're
enemies.
But
poverty
no
know
tribe,
And
hunger
no
get
religion,
please.
[Chorus] Politician,
politician,
Why
you
no
dey
feel
our
pain?
Your
medical
check-up
na
abroad,
But
our
people
dey
suffer
for
rain.
Your
children
dey
live
in
comfort,
Our
children
dey
search
for
job.
You
use
poor
boys
for
thuggery,
Then
you
call
them “
criminal
mob.”
[Bridge – Emotional] My
brother,
put
down
the
weapon,
No
be
your
enemy
be
your
brother.
The
person
wey
you
dey
fight
for
No
go
send
him
own
child
come
suffer.
Think
about
tomorrow…
Think
about
your
mother…
Think
about
your
children…
Think
about
yourself.
Because
when
the
election
finish,
The
politician
go
shake
hands
and
go.
But
the
scar
from
the
violence
Na
the
poor
man
go
carry
home.
[Dancehall Chant] No
more
fighting!
No
more
killing!
No
more
using
hungry
youth!
Give
us
education!
Give
us
employment!
Give
us
leaders
with
integrity!
Love
should
lead
us!
Unity
should
guide
us!
Nigeria
belongs
to
all
of
us!
[Final Chorus] Politician,
politician,
We
are
watching
what
you
do.
No
be
only
campaign
promises,
We
need
leaders
who
will
serve
the
people
too.
Medical
check-up
abroad,
While
our
hospitals
dey
die.
Your
children
dey
fly
private,
While
our
young
people
dey
cry.
No
more
using
poor
boys
To
fight
another
poor
boy.
Give
the
youth
a
future,
Give
the
nation
back
her
joy.
[Outro] Nigeria,
wake
up…
Make
we
stop
fighting
ourselves.
The
real
question
no
be “
Where
you
come
from?”
The
question
be:
What
can
you
do
for
Nigeria?
One
nation…
One
people…
One
future…
Love
should
lead
us.
