Nigeriya Lyrics

No no no no... nor be say I wan just comot because say I wan comot

I wan comot because say I gats comot

Do you understand?

Like I want to know what it feels like to live in a civilized society

To know the basic things that citizens are meant to enjoy in a country

I wanna have a taste of it... Do you get??

Like

I'm not asking too much

Yeah I've been through a lot of shit

But I'm too scared to give up

I just wanna be something

Something people gon love

Just make them believe in something

Cos in these streets ain't no love

My country's gat no love for me... yeah

I keep questioning myself

When is this shit gonna end

Can I overcome the fears

Can I walk away tho

From the suffering and the pain

From the trauma and the shame

Hoping I don't go insane

I just wanna let go

Cos I'm stuck with a country that's got no love for me tho

Where the leaders keep doing just whatever they want to

Best economy in Africa because they said so

Still we living in poverty, tell me how the fuck tho

Our leaders called us lazy (yeah I remember that)

And they said we're high on drugs (yeah I remember that)

And they called the cops on us when we tried to act

But we meuve, acting like we don't remember jack

They say they come in peace but they keep talking shit

And telling us that we can be whatever we wanna be

But when they see us making money, then they wanna beef

It's the fucked up situation that we living in

See I'm not asking too much

Yeah I've been through a lot of shit

But I'm too scared to give up

I just wanna be something

Something people gon love (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Just make them believe in something (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Cos in these streets ain't no love (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

My country's gat no love for me (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Look at what the country made us

Did all that they can to break us

Finish our nation because they can never stop to chop

Now we see on television

How they talk about the vision

But these people want division

Draw the line between the dots

Awon temi ni gboro

There's nothing here to show

I just had to pour my mind on this bloody flow 

Keep grinding on a low

Praying for the dough

Hoping God still directs our noble cause

Yeah it's scary, sometimes I'm feeling lonely

Like a jungle and I'm feeling like Bambi

Yeah I feel like I'm alone on this journey

Hope to God that he watches and keeps me

Cuz I pledged to Nigeria my country

To be faithful and loyal and honest

To be honest, I don't feel I wanna be loyal anymore

Just wanna watch from overseas and hope that....

I'm not asking too much (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Yeah I've been through a lot of shit (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

But I'm too scared to give up (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

I just wanna be something (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Something people gon love (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Just make them believe in something (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

Cuz in these streets ain't no love (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

My country's gat no love for me (Nigeriya-ya-ya-ya)

See I'm not asking too much oh

Just wanna be something oh

Where's the peace we asking for?

Where's the security? No

Don't need no apologies, no

Just get things working ya ya ya

And please stop taking what's meant for all

I just wanna be home

To any of you who still hope for a change

They say change begins with me and change begins with you

But the truth is...

We face a far more dangerous fate if we strive to change and our leaders don't

I mean... Change begins with me might also end with me

We would stand a better chance of making Nigeria work if change begins with them

It is only right that the followers learn from the leaders

And not the other way around

Leading by example

My name is Erinie

And this is my take as a Nigerian youth
