[Intro – Spoken / Emotional] Nigeria…
My
country,
my
motherland…
Every
morning
we
wake
up
with
hope,
but
every
evening,
another
problem
dey
wait
for
us.
The
poor
man
no
dey
ask
for
too
much…
Na
just
make
life
a
little
easier.
[Verse 1] Market
price
dey
rise,
salary
stand
still,
Mama
dey
calculate
wetin
she
fit
buy.
Transport
money
don
become
serious
matter,
Papa
dey
smile,
but
the
pain
dey
inside.
Fuel
dey
rise,
food
dey
rise,
School
fees
dey
knock
on
every
door.
Light
no
stable,
generator
dey
hungry,
Small
business
dey
struggle
to
survive.
[Pre-Chorus] We
dey
work,
we
dey
pray,
We
dey
hustle
every
day.
But
when
tomorrow
finally
come,
another
burden
don
dey
our
way.
[Chorus – Big, Catchy] Na
who
go
hear
us?
We
dey
cry,
we
dey
cry!
Na
who
go
help
us?
We
dey
try,
we
dey
try!
We
no
want
to
beg
forever,
we
just
want
to
live
better.
Nigeria,
hear
the
voice
of
your
people,
make
tomorrow
better
than
today.
[Verse 2] Young
man
graduate,
certificate
for
hand,
years
don
pass,
no
opportunity
stand.
Mama
dey
sell
from
morning
till
night,
yet
the
profit
no
fit
make
things
right.
Some
dey
travel
because
hope
don
fade,
some
dey
stay
because
they
still
believe.
Everybody
get
dream
inside
their
heart,
but
survival
sometimes
tear
the
dream
apart.

Translation:
God,
please
help
us,
let
our
difficulties
become
less.
Let
workers
receive
fair
earnings,
let
mothers
have
food
to
give
their
children.
[Chorus – Call & Response] BigSure:
My
people,
are
you
there?
Crowd:
We
dey

BigSure:
Are
you
tired?
Crowd:
We

BigSure:
Do
you
still
believe?
Crowd:
We

BigSure:
Then
make
we
no
give
up!
Crowd:
We
no
go
give
up!
All:
Na
who
go
hear
us?
We
dey
cry,
we
dey
cry!
Na
who
go
help
us?
We
dey
try,
we
dey
try!
We
no
want
luxury,
we
just
want
dignity.
Give
the
common
man
opportunity,
make
every
family
breathe
again.
[Verse 3 – Reflective] We
need
good
roads,
we
need
steady
light,
we
need
security
to
sleep
at
night.
We
need
a
system
where
hard
work
can
pay,
where
the
child
of
the
poor
can
find
a
way.
No
be
hatred
we
bring
to
the
table,
no
be
anger
we
carry
in
our
soul.
Na
the
voice
of
millions
of
ordinary
people,
asking
for
a
chance
to
reach
their
goal.
[Final Chorus – Full Band / Choir] Na
who
go
hear
us?
We
dey
here!
Na
who
go
help
us?
We
dey
try!
Na
who
go
speak
for
the
voiceless?
We
go
speak!
Nigeria,
arise…
Let
hope
arise…
Let
opportunity
reach
everybody.
From
the
village
to
the
city,
from
the
market
to
the
office,
make
every
Nigerian
live
with
dignity.
[Outro – Spoken] Ikesure
BigSure…
I
no
dey
sing
because
I
hate
my
country.
I
dey
sing
because
I
love
my
people.
The
poor
man
get
dream.
The
market
woman
get
dream.
The
young
graduate
get
dream.
Every
Nigerian
get
dream.
Make
the
dream
no
die.
Nigeria…
We
still
believe.
