Soul Is Heavy
(专辑: Soul Is Heavy - 2012)
[Verse 1] Naija in the
loud and roudy of my world there is a
secret place where I
find myself, can I
find you? Biafra, the
noise of horns of thirsty nigerians, of hustlers, of mothers confront me as I
walk pass Lagos, in prayer contemplation, like a
ghost I
feel the
sorrow of a
many, still I
do not know how much pain it takes Naija, I
walk the
island, I
walk the
mainland, I
see diversity, I
smell capacity but still we suffer, why? [Chorus] I
am, the
voice of Isaac Boro, I
speak Ken Saro Wiwa I
am, the
spirit of Jaja of Opobo, fight for right, for our freedom You? A
power hungry class of army arrangements, stealing money in my country's plight A
soldier pretending to be a
politician, you teacher who no nothing do not teach me lies [Verse 2] Naija, generators wake from my self pity, no time to waste like okana, really hits Naija, for too long we have surrendered to the
ignorance of ourself defense in you we have failed America, how far must we walk in calamity in suppression, how long would take for you to love Naija As I
sit here i
want to live, there are so many plans for you but still I
can't deliver [Chorus] [Bridge] Stealing money, in my country's plight You're stealing money in my country's plight [Verse 3] Great mother my respect for you is in depht my fear od death for you might kill me Fallen lucifer, percieve wahala, as we embrace you with change, you stay selfish fundamental Black Africa, we still survive, we still will rise for the
world needs us to be America? This soul is heavy, the
little you have left to me, I
charge to function in your madness I
am… in your madness
