I was raised in the city
Where the action's never ceasing
Where it rains in the summer
And its brighter in the winter
Where all lives matter but
In theory though
Cause you can get beat by sarz
Ain't speaking bout Osaretin yo
These niggas bunch of Jon Snows
They know nothing
Flow's rotten
Bend the knee to whoever's pussy got a glow on it
I gotta make it through
But the system seems to be fighting against me and you
Books ain't even a guarantee
Hustle o, make you no dey beg for giveaways with retweets
We rise, by lifting others
We soar, we see the towers
A golden generation
Or are we just diamonds sitting in the dirt
Leaders of tomorrow
But tomorrow is a distant future still to come
I'm kicking knowledge
With my lyrical prowess
Trying to build a better contra
But I'm still like you
If I have the chance to move, nigga, I too will run
Its a hard knock life nigga, living in the slums
We as Nigerians, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been
We better check ourselves, living up in these streets
Through the good and the bad, surviving by any means
We as Nigerians, us as a citizen
We are Samaritans, what do we get us in
We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been
Take a look where you live, this is Nigeria
Famine and greed
Family's in need
Poverty slogans, and whatever you speak
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
I said I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president dead
Its never been said
But I said (Set) precedents
F*ck 20/20
The vision still isn't clear
Where we heading to?
This seems to be a nation in despair
Who will be our leader
Who will steal the maze
Find a Segalink to be our saving face
Whatever it takes
See the government will disappoint
Now we at a gunpoint
Standstill at the war front
Who's gonn call 911
Wondering if our variation really works
A nation in poverty
The VP saying we should pray for the nation
A socio construct used to enslave us
Who's gonn save us?
An aethist, Satan or David?
A mind of a genius
Einstein's rhymes ingenious
Maybe if Thomas believed in Jesus
We'll find our Cornelius to give alms to the poor
Or find Caesar to give arms for war
Pick a side, if you're right you could still be wrong
We as Nigerians, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been
We better check ourselves, living up in these streets
Through the good and the bad, surviving by any means
We as Nigerians, us as a citizen
We are Samaritans, what do we get us in
We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been
Take a look where you live, this is Nigeria
