#IgboLivesMatter x7
(Interlude)
Can you hear my voice?
Can you my hear my sound?
The ancestors speaking right through me
Cuz bodies falling left and right
And I don’t know who to tell
This shit got me saying ooooh lord
That shit got me screaming oooooh lord
Why you acting so quiet? while my people getting murdered
Why you acting so quiet? While my people getting murdered
Igbo kwenu (iseee)
Igbo kwenu (iseee)
uwa ga ekwere na Igbo nwezuru enwezu (iseee)
Igbo nwuonu (iseee) Igbo rienu (isee)
Igbo baanu, Igbo muonu Umu, zuonu Umu (iseee) x2
(Verse 1)
I’m thanking God for this universal therapy
For the legends that are dead and the ones that live
Listen to my speakers all I hear is memories
From the child I was to the man I’m tryna be
Back in days when a nigga best in Sunday school
Preaching word make the Holy Ghost to fuck with you
Mama come with kids, fathers wanna see me too
If God is human, young Simba was the living proof
Years later I’m running for my own country
Cuz they killing everyone that be looking like me
And I don’t know who to tell
I mean Vultures fed on millions of my brothers
If you ever think we gon forget you’re bonkers
Haters you can hate us, you never gonna stop us
We Sons of The Sun so we rise as The sun rise
(Hook)
Igbo kwenu (iseee)
Igbo kwenu (iseee)
uwa ga ekwere na Igbo nwezuru enwezu (iseee)
Igbo nwuonu (iseee) Igbo rienu (isee)
Igbo baanu, Igbo muonu Umu, zuonu Umu (iseee) x2
(Verse 2)
They say we Nigerians but I don’t believe them
Cuz I don’t know how my own country be haunting me
But We don’t do it for the living we don’t owe you niggas nothing
We do it for the millions that be living in our memories
Cuz You don’t know nothing about the depression
You don’t know nothing about aggression
You don’t know nothing about the pressure
I’m talking mass detention
First they kill our fathers & our brothers and sell their bodies
Then they rape our mothers and our sisters even grannies
You don’t know nothing about injustice, I’m talking mad injustice
5million died and ain’t nobody asking questions
Cuz when you do, your body might just be the next one ( and I heard em say)
If you ever heard this voice, you know you heard this voice before
It’s voices of 5million of my ancestors
They be seeking for their justice so they speaking right through me
Put your hands in the sky till they get their justice x2
(Hook)
Igbo kwenu (isee)
Igbo kwenu (isee)
uwa ga ekwere na Igbo nwezuru enwezu (iseee)
Igbo nwuonu (iseee) Igbo rienu (iseee)
Igbo baanu, Igbo muonu umu, zuonu Umu (iseee) x2
Igbo kwenu (isee)
Igbo kwenu (isee)
uwa ga ekwere na Igbo nwezuru enwezu (iseee)
Igbo nwuonu (iseee) Igbo rienu (iseee)
Igbo baanu, Igbo muonu umu, zuonu Umu (iseee)
Igbo kwenu (isee)
Igbo kwenu (isee)
uwa ga ekwere na Igbo nwezuru enwezu (iseee)
Igbo nwuonu (iseee) Igbo rienu (iseee)
Igbo baanu, Igbo muonu umu, zuonu Umu (iseee)
(Outro)
They tryna bury us but we seeds
Scattered over lands many overseas
Let the rain fall for when The Sun rise
We be shining brighter than we ever did
They thought buried us but we seeds
Scattered over lands & many overseas
Let the rain fall & when The Sun rise
We be shining brighter than we ever did
