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.
