Sonofmercy…
The baddest singer…
From the trenches of Africa…
Nigeria dey cry…
VDM…
Voice for the voiceless…
Ratel Movement… worldwide.
Verse 1 (Sonofmercy – melodic, Duncan Mighty vibe)
Mama dey pray with tears for her eye
Papa don fall, no justice, only why
Church bell ring, but fear dey answer
Innocent blood for sand like water
Ghetto youth we dey ask the nation
How long till salvation?
Bible for hand, pain for chest
Na crime to believe, na crime to confess?
Igbo:
Chukwu lee anyi anya (God look at us)
Obi ju m anya (my heart is heavy)
Umuaka na-agba oso (children on the run)
N’ala anyi, who go save us?
Chorus (Hook – female + Sonofmercy)
Who go speak for the voiceless now?
Who go hear when the poor man shout?
Nigeria bleeding, but the world dey mute
Too much grave, too much youth
We no dey beg for violence
We dey cry for justice and peace
If faith be crime, then save our soul
This pain too much for one country to hold
Verse 2 (VDM – spoken/rap, raw & bold)
This is not noise, this is truth
This is blood on the dreams of the youth
When killers walk free, victims get blamed
History go ask who called their name
No tribe talk, no hate talk
Na humanity we dey talk
If one life lost, all of us bleed
Silence too loud, that one na sin indeed
Yoruba:
Ọlọ́run ń gbọ́ wa (God hears us)
Ṣùgbọ́n ayé ń dakẹ́ (but the world is silent)
Ododo la n wa (we seek justice)
Kí ìbànújẹ́ parí (let the sorrow end)
Bridge (Female vocal – soft, emotional)
Light a candle for the fallen ones
Say a prayer for the broken homes
We still believe, we still stand
Hope no die for this land
Final Chorus (All – stronger, anthemic)
Who go speak for the voiceless now?
Who go rise, who go calm this ground?
No to hate, yes to peace
Let the killing cease
From the ghetto to the world we say
Life is sacred, no delay
Ratel Movement, hear our cry
Nigeria must not die
Outro (Spoken)
