Testo Redemption - Echo feat. Lex
Testo della canzone Redemption (Echo feat. Lex), tratta dall'album Current Situation
Most countries are born out of shared ideals and common identity
Nigeria was simply created to fulfill a business requirement
That of supplying goods and services to Great Britain. With
That backdrop, it was no surprise that after 50 years of colonial
Rule, Nigerians began to fight for their own self-government
Let me tell you why I picked up a biro man
I was too torn apart from my surroundings and environment
So some looked at me as a messiah sent
Cause the real talk inspired them
I was feeling like Moses back from the
Mountaintop holding stones of the covenant
Then I did 1960 and some critics were
Quick to kick me into the lion's den
Damn
See the truth has to be told
Would you hold my hand in the cold?
Would you tell me I should be black and be bold?
Behold our nation, the eagle has failed to fly
It's curled back in its hole
See I've been thinking lately
Losing sleep cause these thoughts been so deep they could sink a navy
Rolled a spliff to get wavy
Hoping they could save me from this political hierarchy
Filled with anarchy
Sometimes I wish I could be a Skywalker like Anakin
People panicking
What's happening?
No Ciara but where does our future lie?
Mother Africa's the queen without her tiara
Seems like we waved our future bye
Bye
I'm not used to these sort of dances
Pardon these utterances
This to be brought to Black Panthers
But we black agbada and black glasses
Raise your damn glasses
And toast to the new kingdom that's about to rise
Look to the heavens and open your eyes
Open your eyes
Look to the heavens and open your eyes
Since 15 I've been by myself
Ran through the streets like a dog off his leash tryna find myself
I laugh at attempts
I was too broke for a bottle of coke
But I still never cried for help
I was lost, searching for hope
For that I can thank our boss
We toothbrush one sponge and soap
Bridges burn, tables turn
Live and learn
Might be hard to cope
But I be, but I be on my way to redemption
R.I.P Oluchi Anikwe
Lord please relieve me of this tension
