“LET’S WAKE UP (Remix)”
(Intro)
Hmmmm…
This one na for every Nigerian wey still get conscience…
For the youths… the old… the struggling mothers…
The workers wey salary no fit carry for one week…
Listen…
(Verse 1)
My late father tell me one day,
“Son, I feel sorry for your generation,” he say,
I no understand am then,
But now I see the pain again.
Dollar high, foodstuff high,
People dey suffer, leaders dey fly,
Graduate dey roam without hope,
Many youths don almost lose rope.
New national anthem everywhere now,
But hunger still dey ask us how?
Song fit change but pain remain,
If justice no dey for the land again.
(Pre-Chorus)
Wake up Nigeria, open your eyes,
Too many speeches, too many lies,
The people tired, the streets dey hot,
Still dem dey act like say all is good.
(Chorus)
Let our conscience speak today,
Before this nation fade away,
Armed Forces remember say you be Nigerian too,
The same suffering dey reach you.
INEC remember say you be Nigerian too,
History go remember wetin you do.
No sell the future for temporary gain,
Let the people choose without shame.
(Verse 2)
International powers dey interfere,
Looking at Africa like puppet theater,
Some dey influence behind closed doors,
While citizens dey sleep on floors.
Politicians fighting for control,
While poverty dey swallow souls,
Rivers State caught in political fire,
People just want peace and higher desire.
Wike and Fubara still dey headlines,
Different camps drawing battle lines,
Meanwhile common man still dey pray,
For better life another day.
(Verse 3)
From Kaduna down to Port Harcourt,
People dey cry but no support,
Bandits roaming, kidnappers bold,
Farmers afraid to touch their soil.
Peter Obi dey talk of reform,
Atiku still dey enter storm,
Many politicians promise heaven,
But Nigerians still dey count suffering.
Tinubu tell people make dem endure,
But masses no know wetin again be cure,
Every week new policy come,
Yet hardship still dey beat like drum.
(Bridge)
No be tribe, no be religion,
Na survival of the nation,
North and South must understand,
We rise together or sink as one land.
Soldier no point gun at your brother,
Police remember one another,
The poor man no be your enemy,
Na corruption steal the destiny.
(Final Chorus)
Let’s wake up… wake up Nigeria…
Before tomorrow disappear…
Let our conscience lead the way,
Make justice live another day.
INEC be credible this time,
No stain democracy with crime,
Every vote must truly count,
No hidden figures or secret amount.
Armed Forces stand for the people,
Protect the nation, make it equal,
Because uniform no change your blood,
You still dey inside the flood.
(Outro)
My father words still ring for head…
“I feel sorry for your generation…”
But maybe… just maybe…
If we stand for truth together…
Nigeria can still rise again.
