”Intro (whispered, low voice)
(Producer tag, whispered): “Prince Romantic on di sound…”
(Artist tag, whispered): “Nexa Black UG…”My people dey suffer…
My people dey cry…
Truth must be spoken.
Verse 1
Dem steal di bread, dem steal di land,
Empty promises with dirty hand,
Mama dey hustle, papa dey weak,
Children dey hungry, future bleak.
Chorus
Pain in di heart, we release,
Corruption dey kill, but we claim our peace,
Voices rise strong, clear and near,
We speak di truth, we conquer fear.
Verse 2
Dem build mansion, we sleep outside,
Dem drive big car, we trek with pride,
Voice of di ghetto, voice of di street,
We turn di sorrow into words we repeat.
Verse 3 + 4 (combined)
Dem sell di oil, dem sell di mine,
Pocket di riches, call it fine,
Farmer dey struggle, soil dey dry,
Leaders dey watch, dem pass us by.Dem sign paper, dem make law,
But justice dey hide, we still saw,
Market dey empty, price dey rise,
Truth dey buried under lies.
Verse 5
Dem silence voices, dem close ear,
But people dey shout, message clear,
We no go bow, we no go bend,
Corruption story must reach di end.
Bridge (call & response)
Call: Who go save di people?
Response: Na di people, na di people!
Call: Who go fight corruption?
Response: Na di people, na di people!
Chorus (repeat)
Pain in di heart, we release,
Corruption dey kill, but we claim our peace,
Voices rise strong, clear and near,
We speak di truth, we conquer fear.
Outro
Chains of deceit, we break apart,
Hope still burning in every heart,
We rise again, we end di pain,
Truth forever, justice remain.
