Let My People Go

Let my people go 
The indigenous people
Of Biafra
Is calling the world 
To it aid 
We are not at war 
But their is always 
A systematic war on us 
Tribal segregation
Never leaves us fighting
And now we are ready to go
Ready once again to be who 
We are always denied to be
The indigenous people
Of Biafra

Let my people go
Every people has a right 
Of an identification
So do we 
We are tired to be called 
Nigerians
Our association is at a peak
Of a systematic war 
And intimidation never leaves
Our doors 
So we are tired of one 
United Nigeria
We only want our freedom
We want to be identified
World wide only as the 
Indigenous people of Biafra
So what crime do we commit
Am asking the world

Let my people go 
If we can't unite
Let divide to unite
Everyone will be happier
We got to leave 
We are calling for it 
We are never backing down
Or else we die trying
It the time 
We are tired of abuse
We are going back home 
So pharaoh 
Let my people go
