lirik lagu diamond okosun - blood & hustle
verse 1
we dey vote, dem dey count lie
dem dey steal gold, we dey sell fry
dem chop money, still dey ask “why?”
youth dey die, no justice reply
hospital no bed, doctor no pay
children dey hawk, dem call am “okay.”
school dey strike, na play we dey play
dem build prison fast, but school delay
dem raise light bill, no light for town
we dey beg water, dem dey wear crown
dem promise food, but price go down?
no, na blood and sweat we drown
pre~chorus
we no get light, but we still dey shine
we no get road, but we still dey grind
dem wan cage our voice, but still we rhyme
na hunger, but we still dey dine
chorus
it’s blood and hustle (yeah~yeah)
na so we dey live this struggle (true true)
politicians dey laugh our trouble (eh~eh)
but we no go gree, we go burst their bubble (hallelujah)
blood and hustle (fire!)
still we dey rise from rubble (rubble)
naija youth, unshakable (uh huh)
we go fight, we go stand, we go double (amen)
verse 2
dem build church for every street
but still corruption full our seat
pastor dey drive jeep with fleet
while beggar dey find god for heat
police dey shoot boy wey carry phone
say “yahoo boy,” no evidence shown
but senator thief billions alone
still dey wave hand, dey call am throne
mama dey cry for pikin wey lost
protest turn war, we pay the cost
still we pray, still we trust
still we rise from dust to dust
pre~chorus
we no get light, but we still dey shine
we no get road, but we still dey grind
dem wan cage our voice, but still we rhyme
na hunger, but we still dey dine
chorus
it’s blood and hustle (yeah~yeah)
na so we dey live this struggle (true true)
politicians dey laugh our trouble (eh~eh)
but we no go gree, we go burst their bubble (hallelujah)
blood and hustle (fire!)
still we dey rise from rubble (rubble)
naija youth, unshakable (uh huh)
we go fight, we go stand, we go double (amen)
bridge
no food, no job, no hope for street
still we dey wear clean heart and beat
no fuel, no light, no peace, no seat
but we go still dance, still dream, still eat
dem wan silence truth, but truth no die
we don suffer reach, we don learn fly
we be phoenix, rise from cry
naija spirit no fit comply
blood and hustle for every block
na time go tell, we break that lock
from lekki gate to sokoto dock
we dey rise, we no dey shock
chorus
it’s blood and hustle (yeah~yeah)
we no dey tire for struggle (no way)
na we be lion for jungle (eh~eh)
we go rise, we go shine, we go bubble (hallelujah)
blood and hustle (fire!)
still we dey smile through trouble (trouble)
naija youths, unbreakable (uh huh)
we go stand, we go fight, we go double (amen)
