Blood for Land Lyrics

Blood for Land

Who go gain for war

Na innocent dey fall

Dem carry weapon come

Blood dey stain us all

Leaders dey talk from chair

While youth dey fight, dem tear

Guns dey speak for mouth

While future dey burn out

Who go gain for war

Na innocent dey fall

Dem carry weapon come

Blood dey stain us all

Leaders dey talk from chair

While youth dey fight, dem tear

Guns dey speak for mouth

While future dey burn out

Leaders sit for throne, dey shout

But na we dey face the bout

Dem dey argue, we dey die

Mothers cry, dem no reply

Boys wey fit build house for town

Dey lie inside ground, life down

Na so dem trade our blood for fame

But nobody go call their name

Carry gun, dem no give hope

We dey waka, but we no cope

Wetin we gain? Na sorrow deep

Future scatter, dreams dey sleep

Dem dey watch, we dey bleed

Na bullet dey plant the seed

Who go gain for war

Na innocent dey fall

Dem carry weapon come

Blood dey stain us all

Leaders dey talk from chair

While youth dey fight, dem tear

Guns dey speak for mouth

While future dey burn out

Dem build am big, the bomb go fly

But who go live? Who go die?

Small pikin wey never grow

Don see blood for river flow

Why dem no fit use their mouth?

Why dem send us down south?

Instead of peace, dem go fight

Shadows fall for every light

Dem dey smile for conference hall

But na we dey feel the fall

Soil wey plant food, don soak

With our blood, wetin dem joke?

Years go pass, na so e go stay

But our scars no go go away

Who go gain for war

Na innocent dey fall

Dem carry weapon come

Blood dey stain us all

Leaders dey talk from chair

While youth dey fight, dem tear

Guns dey speak for mouth

While future dey burn out

Dem dey call am victory

But we no see am clear

We dey live inside scars

Hope say peace go near
