Where I'm From Lyrics

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild south west

Round here "shine your eye" is the Survival prowess

Your reality is loud as your stomach growl gets

Here we dance with the devil, so we're taking foul steps

Yeah we facing wild threats

Stick up juvenile theft

Living life as a gamble, and we losing our bets

Long arm of the law, it ain't truly outstretched

Cuz the gavel bangs different for who's moving out cheques

From the jump its showtime, it's never sound check

Middle fingers in the air when we get round feds

Its the same thing; Federal, State and House Reps

Cuz we still tryna fit square holes in round pegs

But when the night come, it's jam packed the lounge gets

Just ordinary people, in search of an outlet

Thats the way we know, the suffering and smile set

Its Eko for show, and na we get mouth sef

Cough up a lung

Where I'm from, Eko son

Ain't nothing nice at the end of this rainbow son

Listen

Eko for show

You know the ropes

Its toe to toe

The codes

Just to hold your own

Come on

In Twenty-Twenty in October

The youth alliance rose up

To protest the brutality and bring it to a closure

A move so landmark

An Internet trend sparked

Somehow we got to let the world know we gonna end SARS

The labour of our heroes present, I'm talking you and I

pumping our fist, we insisting on a newer Naij

Where the oil wealth equates to a future bright

So we gotta get the status quo through the sewer pipe

Hashtag ENDSARS, Hashtag ENDSWAT

If it ain't "five for five", that regiment's crap

Yeah we see the vile trickery they handcraft

They don't take our word for bond, so don't stand back

Occupy the toll gate

Gotta send a message that can hold weight

When the army come make you no shake

The shots fired

they got the facts tie up

They ruled it inconclusive, shit is a tad biased
