It Could Have Been Worst
It could have been worst
So i pray to jah
Oh jah see the tears on
The eyes of the poor
See the innocent dead bodies on the streets
See the cries of our
Beloved mothers
See the poverty everywhere in africa
See the lack of food
Shelter clothing
Not to talk of lack of jobs
See darkness everywhere
No electrcity
See religious discrimination
killing my brothers and sisters everywhere
See accident every where in my country cos
Of lack of good roads
See the men on black
And black with their brutality in the name of police killing the innocent
In the third world
See my people
In every jail
In every part of
The world
See my black beautiful
Sister turning into
Prostitute to a normal
Trend for money survival
See my brothers turning
Crimes as a normal means to survive
Oh jah i cant ask where
You are cos i know
You see all that boreders
My country
Am a poor ghetto
Biafran boy
That believes in your
Supreme intervention
As now i pray
Oh jah hear the cries
Of your people
The peope of biafra
Believe in your devine
Intervention
If not oh God
On our struggle for freedom
It could have been worst
