Soul Is Heavy |
| Naija in the loud and roudy of my world |
| there is a secret place where I find myself, |
| can I find you? |
| Biafra, the noise of horns of thirsty nigerians, |
| of hustlers, of mothers confront me as I walk pass |
| Lagos, in prayer contemplation, like a ghost |
| I feel the sorrow of a many, |
| still I do not know how much pain it takes |
| Naija, I walk the island, I walk the mainland, |
| I see diversity, I smell capacity but still we suffer, why? |
| I am, the voice of Isaac Boro, |
| I speak Ken Saro Wiwa |
| I am, the spirit of Jaja of Opobo, |
| fight for right, for our freedom |
| You? |
| A power hungry class of army arrangements, |
| stealing money in my country’s plight |
| A soldier pretending to be a politician, |
| you teacher who no nothing do not teach |
| me lies |
| Naija, generators wake from my self pity, |
| no time to waste like okana, really hits |
| Naija, for too long we have surrendered |
| to the ignorance of ourself defense in you |
| we have failed |
| America, how far must we walk in calamity in suppression, |
| how long would take for you to love Naija |
| As I sit here i want to live, |
| there are so many plans for you but still I can’t deliver |
| Stealing money, in my country’s plight |
| You’re stealing money in my country’s plight |
| Great mother my respect for you is in depht |
| my fear od death for you might kill me |
| Fallen lucifer, percieve wahala, |
| as we embrace you with change, |
| you stay selfish fundamental |
| Black Africa, we still survive, |
| we still will rise for the world needs us to be America? |
| This soul is heavy, the little you have left to me, |
| I charge to function in your madness |
| I am… in your madness |
