At 3 am my phone went blinking Hello, I then awoke answering Oh hello again, the voice went speaking I know that tis been quite awhile And I know that the world lies messy and wild That its people are more shrewd at handling their affairs That they all could be standing at their last Some have even tried succumbing to their fears For the rumours has deplete their times and their dimes
"Covid-19 is here - as the rumour goes Keep your heads up and stay safe Always wear a mask n' wash your hands as often as you can" But who are those with the placards and the movements The "Defund The Police" for the "Black Lives Matter" They go about rambling in the slogans Standing against racism and police brutality Shouting and pointing their hurting fingers Like they have something in the shadows to influence the decisions
Tear down the histories and give us back our heritage Yet they are savages whenever it comes to rage They demolish their in-depth cultures to fabricate their own They even join hands to rip apart their mother's gown Stealing her treasures, while hunting their brothers down The illicit mining and their fraud disbursement Bogus companies that betray our coalition of transparency Yet they go about singing that life is full of uncertainties Our black kinsmen have lost all securities Such performance that mimic honesty, but a lie without bleach Blacks against blacks, the truth in all certainties When did darkness came in terms with the light? That corrupt ones now go about singing for unity That anything is possible; including our missing billions Selfishness has allow men to do as they please Lovers of themselves more than lover of God
Our mouth will speak of what the heart is full of Lack of direction, not lack of time, that is our problem Love and free-will has led many of us astray Selfish men go about living for themselves And the selfless ones are too few to kindle the fires So who's torching the lamps - who is really kindling our lives? Is it the "after I am done, then you do me too"? The likes of top's and bottom or them verses Striving young men are giving the choice to be burst open Or be returned home empty and hungry Hopeful maidens are entrusted to look after their own Thus driving em to decisions that do not suit their dreams
If, as they say, that metal bars are for reforms Then maybe, we all should do one for ourselves To guard our souls from being indoctrinated as against our fellow human beings Refuse complacency and refuse to be labeled For there are no division for a whale What her eyes sees, is exactly what she eats We shouldn't be like sheep, following the herd ahead of us Going where others go, not where we ought to go I know we cannot befriend everyone, but we can choose to be kind
This is a wake up call for us all For even if we say the truth don't matters It will still stand out in its own merited squatters Our daughters and sisters are been ***** without justice Our sons and brothers are sodomised without mercy Lawlessness has become the light of day Mama is tired of hustling from her own purse For papa is no more coming home with his black plastic bag And the young men are no more blissful about their futures So tell the mamas n' our papa's - the brothers and our sisters too That a fish doesn't rot unless it starts from the head So let them come together and rid us the real disease The money driven beast that we pronounced king Let us wake up Liberia, and let's shine together again It is never late to take a turn
"When the king is concerned with justice, the nation will be strong, but when he is only concerned with money, he will ruin his country".
