I was charged of been a youth
Prosecuted for having fiery blood
They knew I wouldn't hold still
So they treated me as an outsider
Right from my childhood
I was told "youths are the future"
Why is the story different now?
I wonder why the story need changed
I felt the sting of death while living
And horror distorting my reality
That youths are no more the future
Why must the story need changed?
I need to scream for help
Nigeria youths cries for help
We won't go with our story untold
Today we cry to cry no more
