Red Cards Lyrics

Now all over Nigeria

We're giving out red cards

Leaders who couldn't lead gravity to the ground

Our people couldn't make any demands

They said ENDSARS

Simple enough for anyone but a clown

I don't want to see you enter Aso Rock

You are trespassing

You're a traitor and a coward and an enemy

I'm no longer addressing you

Speaking to all my fellow citizens

Nigeria I really hope you're hearing me

Do not let me panic you

I've had to make an adjustment to my attitude

I understand that some of you are tired I ain't mad at you

You wanna give up on the country that abandoned you

And told you that all your cries for help were just ingratitude

Granted you did what the system said you had to do

Now you're hesitant to be considered as a radical

But listen carefully

There is coming a revolution

And if you ain't coming with

We won't come back for you

We can't afford to

Yenagoa to the capital and further North too

This is not about youth

This is about how well-equipped we are to see the truth

This is the diligence to make a plan and see it through

Make all the work we sow into the country come to fruit

They tell us that we sow in barren land but at the roots

A bunch of parasitic criminals are trying to loot

And we can we see the proof so what we have to do

Is grab hold of the wheel

I'm telling you that no matter how powerless you feel

We will we have to adamant we can't ever procrastinate

Say "I AM DRIVING - I do not care how you feel"

We're more equipped for the future than our country is

And so we have an obligation to our countrymen

To build a political party of the youth who are driven by the truth

It is only then that our country can

Open up the gates that keep the options limited

Establish public safety through autonomy

And I know like (pfft)

10 Chidera's with a good 10-year plan to recover our economy

It's hard to imagine

In a country where most of the college students

Are aiming toward a medical or law degree

We have so many issues with health and injustice in our courts

That nobody ever sees the future clear enough

So no matter how patient, brilliant, charismatic, resilient

People are in medicine and policy

Just to survive they'll spend every single day working jobs

Raising quality of life in North America

And that isn't their fault

That was done on purpose by the ogas at the top

Because our tradition says you listen to your Elders

And it doesn't matter if they give a damn 'bout us or not

What they can see sitting down right?

I'd like to inquire about that sound bite

Why would you be sitting down

When the mountain is on fire

And the kids are ill-equipped to put it out right

So they learn to breathe the fumes as they outcry

But of course you're sitting down

Your pockets probably so heavy from dollar naira pounds

Oh yeah that's why

You leave your people in darkness

You got a lot of properties outta state you leave often

You buy'em outta greased pockets

The youth are in police lockups

It's justice via deposit

You're just an echo of the colonizers

You run this country for profit

Put a politician in power

For promising policy

But the people who pay the piper

Are punished with poverty

Put the blame on the devil and praying for prophecy

But the devil is the dishonesty in our democracy

The time for casting out has come it's up to

Us the brave, intelligents my compatriots

We cannot back away we must stand up

We no dey carry last we land on top
