Lyrics A Nigerian Dream - Kaliné

You know what's crazy about all of this
We are being killed for being aspirational
We are being killed for wanting to work hard
To make our own money
So that we can affect change in our communities
In our society
The same guns that are supposed to protect us
Are killing us
Because we drive nice cars
And we aspire to have nice phones
This is our country
There's nowhere else to go
This is our home
We want a change, now

We've been promised the same things before
But the people won't wait anymore
All of us lazy youth
We demand the truth
We're the future you just can't ignore

Even with guns that you raise at our head
Your hands are stained with the blood of our Dead
Yet still we come in peace
To occupy the streets
There's no need for aggression
'Cos our voice is our weapon

So stop killing all our brothers
Our fathers and our daughters
This brutality is forcing us down to our knees
So stop killing all the youth
Just because we believe in our future
Our voices
A Nigerian Dream

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

It's time to take back the power you stole
'Cos side by side we will take back control
This generation
Has your attention
No need for aggression
'Cos our voice is our weapon (Yeah)

So stop killing all our brothers
Our fathers and our daughters
This brutality is forcing us down to our knees (down to our knees)
So stop killing all the youth (Stop killing us)
Just because we believe in our future
Our voices
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream

Stop killing my brother, my father, my sister, my friend
This senseless brutality just has to end
Stop killing the youth just because we believe in
Our future
Our voices
A Nigerian dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
A Nigerian Dream
