lirik lagu yomi leach - land of the green
[ballad 1: bamvy]
i’m a native of this land
a home where the ropes that chord souls to another is greed
it’s a throne whose crown blinks of corruption, scepter – deception
utterance – propaganda; it’s too late now the inevitability of a vicious breed!
lend your ears to trends and eyes to pages of newspapers, now read:
about the hunger that cuddles bellies in the south
emblems of m-ssob – it’s raised fist that feeds on the east
fast life, fraudsters chunk in the west, chaos, bomb blast displaces the north
yet my right hand still on my chest
[verse: leach]
right hand on my chest, sing the anthem
i stand and with p-ssion really singing
but i doubt that we believe what we reciting
land of the greens, well it seems what it means we misses
is it growth or comic depiction of feces?
the m-sses be screaming out for peace on the land
but all our leaders ever do is p-ss on the land
now this i don’t understand, isn’t they one of us?
’cause if they is then why do they keep on ignoring us?
but i ain’t trying to diss guys but these guys
disguise as peace guides but leading the defiance
and despite the shrill cries of these eyes, they despise
the least guys, claim they trying to refine us
i’m sick of all the struggle, i’m sick of all the pain
but i ain’t going no where, nah, hommie i’m staying
we finna stand through the rain and hurricane
whenever we fall down we get up again
’cause i believe in the green white
not just ’cause it seems right
but darkness only leaves when there’s been light
‘ cauze i believe in the green white
not just ’cause it seems right
but darkness only leaves when there’s been light
now i ain’t ’bout to sit here and talk about the problem
and i ’bout to be here and start name dropping
but if we do not know the problem then there’s no solution
but everybody wanna talk but n-body wanna listen
and everybody wanna be heard but n-body paying attention
we want a better nigeria but all fleeing the nation – ironic
how could we be so populous but then not so productive
be most religious and still most corruptive?
they call us leaders of tomorrow, when’s tomorrow coming?
we getting tired of the sorry and the m-ss bombing
but i ain’t blaming the k!llers, stealers, and those robbing
’cause bad only prevails when good does nothing
so yeah we gotta stand, hold up your brother’s hand
fight for your motherland, this is what god commands
we gonna make it someday, we just gotta try
if you won’t listen to me listen to the children cry
this is not a song, this’s a prayer
this’s where we belong all together, the stronger the better
we finna beat them odds and get even
we heading to the top far as we got god up in heaven
yeah, we heading to the finish line
and we gon’ break the opposition, we beheading all the philistines
’cause i believe in the green white
not just ’cause it seems right
but darkness only leaves when there’s been light
he took the chains of pride, he took the chains of pain;
he took the chains of lies, after he overcame
3 days in the grave, now we saved forever
the maker of the skies, the maker of the rain
he took the chains of shame, he took the chains of stress;
put smiles on our faces, we no longer depressed
he took us from the ground, and put us on the skies
he came down to the ground, just so that we could fly
and now we fly sky high up into the heavens
we no longer scared of nothing, not even the devil
he took us from the ground up into another level
and i don’t roll with the world call me a rebel
how could god in divinity be loving me mini-me, little me
riddle me, it sound ridiculous; you fellas feeling me?
the epitome, synonym of eminent infinity;
i’m in a dilemma, not even in a cinema have i seen a man
leaving the heavens for rebellious sinner men: morning, noon and evening;
man and feminine, american to indian
calling em and telling em:
come i’ll set you free from the chains of the land
free from the bondage and pain of the land now
bad man trying to bring us so down low
but we gonna fly high no go slow
we go fight for nigeria, we will fight for our land
we go fight for the area
’cause i believe in the green white
not just ’cause it seems right
but darkness only leaves when there’s been light
[ballad 2: bamvy]
i hear a voice. voices that sing like a song
i hear a song it sounds revolutionary
i hear a cry. cry that patriotism birth a cry that screams;
‘enough is enough’ i hear that cry it sounds legendary
i hear whispers whispering words of hope to my ears
lighting fire of rage to my beards
drying ocean of tears my eyes had shed
whispers! of yawning children longing to be fed
gnashing fathers yet to be paid
yelling mothers mourn for their dead
starving economy engulfed in debt, dirty politics enroll (in roll) instead…
whispers!… that reminds my role to play in this corruption age
yet i still believe in the ‘green – white’
not just coz it seems right
but darkness only leaves (lives) where there’s been light
