lirik lagu iquo dianaabasi - answers that will not be swallowed
once amused at tales of a snake slithering away
with 36 million fractions of commonwealth
we were learners once outwitted when a monkey
disappeared with double the snake’s loot
we are agatu, logo, guma, nkanu;
despised children whose lives
would be worthy of concern
if we were cattle
we are chibok, baga, dapchi, mubi
buni~yadi; abused, gone too soon
we are the unloved, vagabond
children of an uncaring fathеr
we are the opprеssed, seeking redress
where the accused is both judge
and executioner. confidence is a distant
relative slaughtered on the slab of injustice
we are jesse, abule~ado, abule~egba
unfortunate ones, set ablaze
in our nation’s wealth, yet blamed
for her shameless neglect
we are the odi emergency
wiped out but not forgotten
ants decimated by the sledgehammer
of power, our blood cries out; still
we are lekki, alausa, #endsars
futures truncated, voices stifled
by rulers who send armed soldiers
to a conversation with children
we are the ones whose massacre will not
be erased, whitewashed by the very ones
who strangle us, dim our tomorrow
while we grope amidst today’s crumbs
we are infants overfed on sorrow, tears
and blood, we are adults toiling for driblets
we are the hitherto ‘woke’
now awakened, demanding better
we are the questions that will grind your
t~~th, we are the meal that will choke you
to surrender. we are answers that will not
be swallowed, in your divide~and~rule games
we are the puppies of a scoundrel country
determined to ride through myriad upheavals
we are midwives of this unstoppable rebirth
and we, will no longer be silenced!
