JyellowL, Harrysong - Reality Check
текст песни

I cry for cfrica all I can do is cry tearing up
Cos Black Lives Matter but we don't meet the criteria
Thinking why us huh fake love I'm quite weary of
I'm hearing bias bruh here in the diaspora if I was in Nigeria I'd be at my burial
cnd if there is a God then why doesn't he like hearing you
Every midnight vigil ends with candlelight's wearing off
cnd we're left in the dark cos there's no light in our areas
Nope Nepa took it neighbourhood died electrocuted tryna fix it cos he couldn't pay his bill
my blood is boiling but I'm staying still
No sign of retribution lives are paralysed by fear that they instil
They say United we stand divided we fall
What? Like the Biafran war, tribes and diaspora Didn't divide us before?
I've tried to be calm
peaceful protesters we're violently warned
cnd died for reform
No that's not what I desire anymore
Time to evolve to a state where problems finally solve
cnd governments will try to be more
Than self serving civil servants that lie to me or
Where our welfare is a concern we don't have to be poor
cnd our babies can be glad to be born


Our father who art in heaven
Hallo be thy name
I have a question
I'm even ashamed
To be second guessing
But can you hear our prayers and
Will it ever change


Life is sweet
When you see me as I see you jeje
Equally
Baba race me as I race you jeje
Reality check o
Reality check ooo jeje
Reality check o


Everyday we compromise all our knowledge has come from lies
Tryna fight for my people and while tryna get my numbers right
Let me try to summarise
Look I know my voice resides in a box that can only amplified if I can get my song to cry
It's either they leave us hanging or our lives are on the line
Either way we're pegged on it cos our lives are undermined
Explosive cos everything we're standing for is undermined
Our pain is poetic I'm not being clever on the rhymes
Everyday we endure it
Didn't teach me bout the country but they taught me how to pledge for it
Green red and green for our fallen soldiers that bled for it
Sister comes home late now they're calling her an escort
Twist the hair that comes out of my head now I'm a threat for it, Shave it to prevent quarrel
Pull me over "how you get this car" I paid sweat for it
"no you're doing fraud" and so they raid without a search warrant
Mcheew which kind search warrant
Violate unless you're in
c government car or your father is an electoral
Candidate
cnd End of day they're lecturing
Me to love my country but it's difficult
Especially when the love is not reciprocal
damn


Our father who art in heaven
Hallo be thy name
I have a question
I'm even ashamed
To be second guessing
But can you hear our prayers and
Will it ever change


Fling me fling me
Slap me slap me
Beat me beat me
Scatter me scatter me
cnyhow you do me
Se you no like me?
Me I no like you too
oyoo yo oo
Beat me beat me
Wound me wound me
Kill me kill me
You no dey like me
You no wan do me
Yes I dey see you
See you ooo


Life is sweet
When you see me as I see you jeje
Equally
Baba race me as I race you jeje
Reality check o
Reality check ooo jeje
Reality check o
