NATION Lyrics

Look

I grew up in Lagos

Seen a man kill his own friend

Found out it was no doubt for his papers

No government getting involved

No food no shelter for the scrapers

I seen a man getting dissolved, wait why

'Cause he didn't make his payments

Round here we don't state no statements

Everything stapled do it like Lakers

And you could get nabbed for a ransom

But we don't want that, we don't claim it

When I sing that Naija anthem

Stressing the part about being compatriots

Now we're living on 6 new acres

And I ain't got time for the haters

Fakers, chilling with some random neighbors

My status on par with the greatest

And the envy's clear it's blatant

Trust me if you got money just save it, like I wanna end

SARS it's hatred, so I pray in my bars like amen

Now I'm tryna leave Mars Matt Damon

If it's corrupt then a nigga gotta change it

If I had a belt made from watches

I'd call that a waste of time

I got choices and I got options

So I used that pepper and thyme

See the system's built for the rich

It's done on purpose, by design

That cabinet's moving lazy, crazy

Moving like a bunch of swine

And they never do fail to amaze me

They just watch while people die

I mean it's calm as long as it pays me, right?

Nah there's more to life

So the whole thing's just so wrong

Now we gotta try and make it right

Have you ever seen a desperate family

Begging for cash in need of a flight

Like

We got people down here doing up madness

All for a card and a passport

Everybody wants out everybody wants out

But they can't even get to the airport

It's mad, it's sad to see, and the first world lives in a fantasy

That

Everything's okay when it's really not

Said my piece but I'm not at peace cause

Listen

I grew up in Lagos

Seen a man kill his own friend

Found out it was no doubt for his papers

No government getting involved

No food no shelter for the scrapers

I see a man getting controlled, that's right

If you got a heart come save it

Man

That's right, if you got a heart come save us

I seen a man getting controlled, woah

No
