Moving force
Moving force
I foretold a prophecy
I told them I will wait for God time
They thought it was just poetry
Now The youth are out on the streets again
The echoes of needs are high
With the voices of anger all over Nigeria
Demanding to be set free from poverty
Another hunger protest on the streets
Of Nigeria again
Where are the government
I hope they could feel the needs
And angry youths
Whose life is a gamble
Shattered and used for a political gain
Were is the president
Whose words of changes remains invisible
The changes he bleeds is killing us
On daily bases
Our family can't feed
Our parents work to be on debt
Our kids are growing up prematurely
Our old can't get no pention
Our mothers are hungry
Our economy is folding to bankruptcy
The youth cant find no job after school
Our cost of living is over 300percent inflated still with low wages
Every day keep getting worst
Our situation are unbearable
The people can't endure the pain no more
the only thing left is to fight For freedom
Cos there is nothing to lose anyways
So now the youth are out
on the streets again
This evil conditions of hard life
has turn them today to a
Moving force
Moving force
Their comes a day of change
Their comes a time of reinforcement
Their comes a period of truth
Our reality must be rearrange
The only land we have is on captive
Captivated by the powers whose
Aim are not for our growth
Their actions has triggered our
Reaction to protest again
Their greed has been killing our dreams
Their system keeps us begging
Their rules demolishes our integrity
They are never royal to our needs
Our life is full of agony and sorrows
Despite how much stronger we strive
Our days are like the days of no solution
Their evils are obvious
And here comes another time
To stand against a bad governance again
So don't blame the people
Whose life is nothing good to write about
when they join forces
fighting for their rights
And now all they could be
From all they have passed through
A very bad governance
is nothing else but a
Moving force
