Boy Spyce & Falz – Arise Lyrics

Oh oyinbo
No use me play Ludo
Where my bronze
Wey you thief from Edo?
My sis and bros
You put for boat to go Europe
Obiageli na him you turn to Nicole
Uhmmm
Make we do am one by one
Starting from the blood diamonds
Shey na why you wan kpai us?
Congo is full of blood oh
Keeping our people poor
Oil full Port Harcourt
Tell me why we dey still import

African people arise (ah arise)
Fight your lives (fight for your lives)
People dey kpai (people kpai)
Oui
Them wan attack and divide oh (and divide)
But we must unite (must unite)
Gather for church or shrine (ah shrine)
Eee eeee
(Ee eee eeee iyeee)
(Ah jigbi jigbi jigbi jigbi)

I dey pray for healing make I no stagger
Matter be say, doctor wey go treat me don japa
Expectation wey been hold me don scatter
Politician still dey use me drop lamba
Wait. who be the real killer? make we find out
Who discharge am, the man, the trigger or the gun powder?
The trauma linger till I loss balance
All the suffer wey dem show my forefathers
I don para!
Fuck what you heard before, fuck a Godfather
All dis old papa no go leave me, if I no snatch power
Upon all the kind mineral wey dey my backyard, I
Still dey wear Italian I still dey drive German
Why nobody tell me say that pattern no be Shakara?
Why dem want cover my story make I no jam power?
Make I no know Lumumba, Thomas Sankara
All My heroes from Lagos, Kigali go reach Kampala
Tell me how I want fly if I no climb Tarmac
And nowhere wey we fit to go if we no try gather
If we no add am up, do the maths, wey dem no go fit divide
