Niger Delta Lyrics by 2kul: 4:21am On Nov 07, 2008
Read and comment!!

People need shelter
In the Niger Delta
Government go hard
But its helter skelter
The people hunger
For a change of power
Like they need someone like Barack Obama
The MEND is just another major blunder
Left with no choice but to grab the power
Kidnapping just to get paid higher
Claiming its for the peeps
Just to get their pains lighter
Who is to blame
The country turning darker
Democracy couldn't make it any better
Its time for a change
People of Niger Delta


Born in 87' in south side Nigeria
My Mama knew
I was gonna be a tough fighter
Was a fly city, like Lagos
Only a little smaller
Who knew today
It was gonna be in all the papers
Gracing every headlines
With crime waves and much drama
Back in the day
We only knew of Malaria
But today
We hear about Ak's and Baretta's
The youths take to the street
Just to show off their anger
I ask a question
Is this gonna take us higher?
Its time for a change
People of Niger Delta


Stop the violence in the Niger Delta
Remember there's a law thats called Karma
Sins of the Fathers was very popular
Nollywood made a great flick, I admire
But for real, our kids dont have to suffer
For mistakes we made
When we taught we was stronger
Violence aint gonna make it any better
Stick to the ways of King Martin Luther
Civil disobedience might
Make things clearer
Ghandi used it in India
and King in America
didn't do much
But the future was certainly brighter
'Speak for the masses
Cos we all brothers
Bleep the government
Who be making things tougher
Just live your life
and keep chasing that paper
I speak my mind
Aint got time for no haters
Its time for a change
People of Niger Delta
