Arise of compatriots

Arise oh compatriot 
The call for change never change 
In our era here in Africa 
Same voice same particular people 


The chants for better days never stop 
Same community same poor people’s 


The protest for better wages never ends
Same labourers same youths same people 


The failed system bad effects never stop coexisting among the common man’s daily life 
Same men same issues same people 


This kinds of situations attracts uprising 
Among same places same countries same people 
No wonder the youths no longer obey the old men no more this era 


Everyone struggling by disobedience 
Regardless the precaution 
I wonder what kind of time we are moving towards 
With same situations same pains same problems 


Honestly tomorrow looks red instead of blue for the future of 
Same youths same citizens same people 
Hopefully with all the failed era the time is getting sooner for a take over 
Who knows cos it is what is always is 


The handwriting is not written only on the walls alone this era 
It is written more on the faces of the hungry youths so 
arise oh compatriot
