Lyrics TEARS FOR NIGERIA|AFRICA - Theblackboyjohn

Yeah
Its theblackboyjohn blackbeat what it do
See
Lemme take you back to, the place I was born
Kano ABJ J city was good

I made this off of samples
Show my dogs if you want it you can get it set examples
It may not happen how you plan to
It was back in 15 when Miles put me on Bantu
The good die young so we searching for the fountain
For every bridge I burned I found the seeds and plant 2
Search for answers in the Mosque Church or Temple
Why these would rather bury money than help their people
I don't mean to judge but I know that's evil
The original scammers they lie and stealing from they people
The ballots mostly rigged we even saw that on video
I won't even bring up Lekki it was live you lied you didn't know
Shout out ARISE don't get corrupted we the people
2023 Let's us put an end to this this sequel
We got the power we the people uh

Welcome to Nigeria
Where the 1% are politicians cause they greedier
The poor resort to violence cause they needier
They say we democratic but they still control the media
Welcome to Nigeria
Where the 1% are politicians cause they greedier
The poor resort to violence cause they needier
They say we democratic but they still control the media

Before I get into this verse
I know the fight won't stop even if they put me in a hearse
They ran Eedris out the country killed Fela kuti's mum
You barely got any following so who are you to talk
They sleeping in the senate never do they jobs
They wanna censor social media we're like just end the sars
Is that too much to ask, but if they did they jobs?
Instead they funding Boko haram arming all these thugs
Posting on the gram stunting all our funds
They shipping all they kids out the country you know where it's warm
Hardship allowance don't know know nothing hard
Stunting young and they think you scamming cause you living large
The story of Nigerian youth just tryna make it out
They wanna drain your life deserve a stake in heart
Vampires exist young prince watch how you staying out
Welcome to Nigeria the eagles we don't play around haan

Welcome to Nigeria
Where the 1% are politicians cause they greedier
The poor resort to violence cause they needier
They say we democratic but they still control the media
Welcome to Nigeria
Where the 1% are politicians cause they greedier
The poor resort to violence cause they needier
They say we democratic but they still control the media
Welcome to Nigeria
Where the 1% are politicians cause they greedier
The poor resort to violence cause they needier
They say we democratic but they still control the media
This is dedicated to
To you
My country
Tears for Nigeria

And I see what's going down in Africa in General
You suffering we suffering too
We feel your pain
How we got all the resources we exporting but still we the poorest

And that's the type of to drive me crazy
Everyday either slavery in a country or they raping
I know it's baby steps we move to greatness
But I heard that he's been the president since Ronald Reagan
That gotta go cause he ain't change
RIP Mandela fought for change till he was taken
It's clear that these old heads complacent
Don't let them silence your voice or replace it
Respect reciprocal that is that
Heaven helps those who help themselves that's a fact
President when you were military yeah we recollect
Drunk on power you don't even know where you woke up at
I never endorse dummies in my vocal raps
Hate comes with success shortcut when you open apps
Never let them take the only hope you have
You live to fight another day we double back Uh

Tears for Africa
My heart bleeds
My heart bleeds

Diamonds from Sierra Leone
Cobalt from Congo
Even oil from Nigeria but where does the money go ma, I don't know
We all chasing the cheese
But it's funny how you gotta be a dirty rat just get the money out
I used to dream of Africa now I get insomnia
The same thing everywhere you go unless the fond of ya
I'm a rebel I ain't one of y'all
We gotta take the fight to the powers fore they murder all
I can't bring my son with all this hating in this world
I can't even guarantee protecting him don't mention her
You get it protect your woman at all cost
Black queen
I got your back front and all
I know you independent but I'll catch you if you ever fall
I'm forever truly yours

And that's true
Black men we gotta protect our women come on
Stop all that mehn
It's theblackboyjohn
Tears for Africa
Black Friday
Black Out
Yeah
Tears for Africa mehn
Tears for Nigeria
We gotta do better
Better governance
Better education
We gotta stand up for our rights
