B'k3m - ARISE 10.20.2020 (feat. Ifeoma J., Cue & Emeka Mike)

Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call, obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
People dying on a daily
Cops are killing people lately
Nigeria my country is bleeding
Times are crazy, this is crazy, heart is aching
They were standing for peace
Now they're resting in peace
Bodies in streets, future dismissed
The government is playing
They don't wanna change
All they do is switch their name
Now is time we switch our game
First we gotta pray, then we take a step of faith
Maybe I can sing my change
Maybe you paint their names
Maybe you can cash your change
Nothing we do is in vain
Keep praying cause God is our savior
We know that He hears what we say
Yeah yeah yeah
Soon e go better
No matter the struggles we're facing today
One day e go better
Soon e go better
Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call, obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
Wetin man go do
When the government so cruel
Plenty lies on the news wey
We see am live on a Tuesday brother
Dey for side road to protect
But you see an iPhone and arrest (Oga!)
And you wonder why the people vexing
On the street now and protesting requesting for better way
As we pray to get to see a better day
Everyday's something new
Too many loss when you turn up the news
Threw in the mob just to get them confused
Then send the troops to go diffuse it
Everyday's something new
Too many loss when you turn up the news
Threw in the mob just to get them confused
Then send the troops to go diffuse it
Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call, obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
U.N.I.T.Y is the key we need to survive
Through all these troubling times
I be sitting back thinking about what wrong with you guys
How you shooting at kids, women, and these innocent guys
Wanna grab my nine, but I'm gon pray for you guys
Hope you see through your lies and all of your criminal ties
How I'm screaming black lives matter to black lives
Money's the root of all evil fix your minds
Show love to your people it's our time
We the giant of Africa let's be more kind
Moment of silence for the innocent lives that died
Let's show some more love increase the peace
Smile a little more, Show some more teeth
Gives some bigs hugs let's be supportive
End SARS, protect and serve stop acting like thieves
Black lives matter from Europe to South Beach
And every city and town around and in between
The war already won, good gon be winning
So when you pick a side make a wise decision
Arise, O compatriots
Nigeria's call, obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labor of our heroes past
Shall never be in vain
To serve with all our might
One nation bound in freedom…
