Do You Remember
Do you remember
Just like a baby look
Up to the mother for milk
The people look up to
Their leaders for truth and life
But now we are confused
Do you remember
In the presence of the people
You took an oat
You swear to be truthful and honest
You took an oat of power
Base on the Trust from the people
Do you remember
In the presence of nature
And GOD you made a vow
You pronounce words of promise
Before the people permitted
You as a leader
Do you remember
You don't just get to the
Position you are now
If not for the people
Do you remember
How truthful you sound
Before now
Talking about a new reform
That will bring a change
Do you remember
How the people trusted you
Do you remember
The voice of the people
Is the voice of GOD
Do you remember
my brother do you remember
You say you have the power
No way
The people have The final say
Do you remember
How it was for you
When you were on the road
To leadership
If not for the people
You know where you would have been
Now the same people now weep tears
From your brutality
The same people now cry
From your lies
Do you remember
How fair
The people where to you before now
How do you sleep at night
When you see your people
In poverty
How do you swallow fufu
When you know there
Are so many hungry souls
All around the corner
How do you feel
When your people suffer
From illness and no
Money for the hospital bill
How do you feel when an hungry
Boy is burn away like a waste
At the corners of the street
Just for stealing food
If only
You could remember
What you first stood for
If only you understand
The gravity behind the
Oat you took
I know the people
Never voted you
For what it is now
Do you remember
That all you do
Will live to affect
You unborn kids
Just turn around
Think again
Do you remember
