Cultural Fiction Video (MV)

This is the story of crying and weeping
And crying and weeping
And there's no mistaking
They came with their weapons and came with religion
And told you your culture was nothing but fiction
Ways of your father
The tongue of your mother
The voice of your ancestors lost in an echo
In the name of their Allah your children were conquered
And taught in Arabic the ways of the Arabs

And who?
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You!
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of

Coercive conversation and ostracization
They came with their missions
And came with their Jesus
They raped and they plundered
And killed and they murdered
And when you were broken they gave you their Jesus

And who?
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You!
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of

Isn't it funny that you have forgiven
The ones that have put you in this f*cked up position
Divided and conquered
You fight with your brother
The igbos, the hausas
The yorubas then all of us
They paid for your wars and you shot with their guns
And spilled your own blood
Colonial Interests
Religion said nothing
The silence was deafening
And yet you keep fighting
Isn't that disgusting

And you!
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of

This is the story of crying and weeping
And crying and weeping
And there's no mistaking
They came with their weapons and came with religion
And told you your culture was nothing but fiction
The ways of your father
The tongue of your mother
The voice of your ancestors lost in an echo
In the name of their Allah your children were conquered
And taught in Arabic the ways of the Arabs

And you!
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You!
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of

Coercive conversation and ostracisation
They came with their missions
And gave you their Jesus
They raped and they plundered
And killed and they murdered
And when you were broken they gave you their Jesus

And you!
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of
You are the one I speak of"
