Every year; we sing We're independently free From colonisation regime Free From human-slavery Free from Antihuman policies
Impose on we By em British colony
Free from slavery to a free-free world Free from brutality to a greater course
But when exactly Will we be free From the war within
When will we be free From talks of guns When will we be free From wars and bombs
When will we be free From bad leadership Coz all I see is corruptive cliques occupying governmental seats
When will we be free From terrorism territory separatism Religion barbarism And tri-balism
When will we be free From governmental deceit And societal laws Made by bribe-filled judge Whose laws only affects the poor
When will we be free From godfatherism And political regime Where the corruptive folks Are immune to probe
When will be free From deadly disease State of emergency And economical insurgency
When will we be free From violent street Filled with vicious police Whose only role is to harass those Who can't afford 50 naira note
When will we be free
The north is filled with refugees victims of terrorism younger kids with nowhere to sleep Roaming the street Hustling Trying to get their belly feed
The southeast is the zone where them militant roam Armed to the bone Brainwashed and scoped By them Biafran folks Shooting this; shooting that Disturbing peace and breaking pipe yearning for separation of our beloved Nation
And what about the west Them Wild Wild West the district where Godfatherism dwells Ruthless men Political theft And fraudulent youth Who often get used By political dudes Senseless thugs Whom at the end of all 's abused and dumped
And human-right activist Who aren't really for the citizens Political sheople Misleading the people The only thing that matters' ah getting their pocket's fat
I'm not here to preach But when will we be free From being brain-feed with lies and deceit Most people can't use their head Yes, unless it is used for them Most now follow religious leaders Instead of the Lord Whatever the preacher says; is right Yea, he is the man of God
When will we be free From enchanted beats Musical ***** That aren't up to feat
When will we be free When will we be free
Raise the Green-White-Green And steadily roll the rim Even though the white seems gray I believe one day We'd be chanced to make This country great again So let us pray
O God of Creation Direct our Noble Course Guide our Leaders Right Help our youth the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty heights attain To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.
