Soul Is Heavy
Nneka

Naija in the loud and roudy of my world


there is a secret place where I find myself,


can I find you?


Biafra, the noise of horns of thirsty nigerians,


of hustlers, of mothers confront me as I walk pass


Lagos, in prayer contemplation, like a ghost


I feel the sorrow of a many,


still I do not know how much pain it takes


Naija, I walk the island, i walk the mainland,


I see diversity, I smell capacity but still we suffer, why?




I am, the voice of Isaac Boro,


I speak Ken Saro Wiwa


I am, the spirit of Jaja of Opobo,


fight for right, for our freedom


You? A power hungry class of army arrangements,


stealing money in my country's plight


A soldier pretending to be a politician,


you teacher who no nothing do not teach


me lies




Naija, generators wake from my self pity,


no time to waste like okana, really hits


Naija, for too long we have surrendered


to the ignorance of ourself defense in you


we have failed


America, how far must we walk in calamity in suppression,


how long would take for you to love Naija


As I sit here i want to live,


there are so many plans for you but still I can't deliver




I am, the voice of Isaac Boro,


I speak Ken Saro Wiwa


I am, the spirit of Jaja of Opobo,


fight for right, for our freedom


You? A power hungry class of army arrangements,


stealing money in my country's plight


A soldier pretending to be a politician,


you teacher who no nothing do not teach


me lies




Stealing money, in my country's plight


You're stealing money in my country's plight




Great mother my respect for you is in depht


my fear od death for you might kill me


Fallen lucifer, percieve wahala,


as we embrace you with change,


you stay selfish fundamental


Black Africa, we still survive,


we still will rise for the world needs us to be America?


This soul is heavy, the little you have left to me,


I charge to function in your madness


I am... in your madness


I am...




I am, the voice of Isaac Boro,


I speak Ken Saro Wiwa


I am, the spirit of Jaja of Opobo,


fight for right, for our freedom


You? A power hungry class of army arrangements,


stealing money in my country's plight


A soldier pretending to be a politician,


you teacher who no nothing do not teach


me lies




I am, the voice of Isaac Boro,


I speak Ken Saro Wiwa


I am, the spirit of Jaja of Opobo,


fight for right, for our freedom


You? A power hungry class of army arrangements,


stealing money in my country's plight


A soldier pretending to be a politician,


you teacher who no nothing do not teach


me lies
