2013 | Nneka | Lyrics: Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh You keep pushing the blame on our colonial fathers You say they came and they took all we had possessed They have to take the abuse that they have caused Our present state with their intruding history Use our goodness and nourishment in the name of missionary Lied to us blind slaved us misplaced us Strengthen us hardened us then they replaced us Now we got to learn from pain Now it is up to us to gain some recognition If we stop blaming we could get a better condition Wake up world Wake up world wake up and stop sleeping Wake up Africa wake up and stop blaming Open your eyes eyes stand up and rise Road block oh life penalty Sing why do we want to remain where we started And how long do we want to stop yourselves from thinking We should learn from experience that what we are here for this existence But now we decide to use the same hatred to suppress our own brothers It is so comfortable to say Racism is the cause and it's not the cause This time it is the same color chasing and biting us Knowledge and selfishness that they gave to us This is what we use to abuse us Wake up world wake up and stop sleeping Wake up Africa wake up and stop blaming Open your eyes your eyes stand up and rise Road block oh life penalty Those who have ears let them hear Brothers who are not brainwashed take ruins and rest Pick them up and stick them back together This is the only way we can change this African weather Lied to us blind us they slaved us misplaced us Strengthen us hardened us then they replaced us Now we got to learn from pain Wake up world wake up and stop sleeping Wake up Africa wake up and stop blaming Open your eyes your eyes stand up and rise Road block road block You got to wake up please Wake up world wake up and stop sleeping You got to wake up Africa you got to see the truth wake up and stop blaming Oh oh oh oh open yours eyes open up you should open up You should open up stand up and rise Road block road block oh life penalty wake up Link: YouTube.
