Black Soup

Black soup 
We are dark enough to breath a flesh air
In this wild mans world
Flames are never a new news 
On our wild south west Nigeria 
The more the new days we see 
The tougher the higher man be 
Pollution defines his existence
And this existence is killing our lungs 
I told you all we are dark enough
To breath a flesh air 
Yet some business moguls are more 
Wilder than a deadly vampire
Our oil is now our destruction
Our resources is now our killer 
Only because we live among 
The wild man deals 
They can't stop polluting 
And we can't stop them sooner 
Yet we keep feeding our lungs with the 
Black soup 



Black soup 
I hear them say save the world
Am sure they forgotten Africa
I guess we either use what we got properly 
Or we continue in poverty
There is no other way 
There is no better ideology
Now who will be bold enough 
To stand against our deformers 
How many are able to see beyond our circumstances
Cos we need this kinds of mind 
To face this black dark era 
We are not calling for war 
We are only calling for survival
Who is our friend 
Who is a friend to Africa 
Let them help save mother land 
Cos everyday we keep feeding our
Children's Lungs with the 
Black soup
