PROPHETS OF BRUTALITY
Is it a crime to be a Nigerian?
Is it a crime to be a Nigerian?
I ask with cooked rage again!
What has become of my dear country?
In our land you brutalize us
You turn us to slaves
You make us cry for what we know not
Because of the uniform you adorn
You assumed "ALGEA"
And you never cared
Because your human is Dead!
Like ants unison we hit the street
'Cause of our litany of tortures
You caused us
Yet, you sprayed us bullets
Peace you'll not know
The flag, yes the flag
Our blood painted with it
Innocent blood spilled
Spilled on the street of Lekki
Spilled on the street of Aba
Spilled on the street of Abuja
Spilled on the street of Nigeria
My dear country is soaked with blood
Our wrath you'll see!
I'll not cease yet
Until the prophets of brutality are doom!
