Art work by Namnso Ukpanah

Hunger dey our land

Joy don turn contraband

Everybody con get iron hand

We dey beg God make hin show us hin hand

Say make him show face, stand up rebrand our land before hunger give us upper hand. Say make hin put us on new plans. Sharps!

But e get one small problem, God don try, you know, me know, say hin don try

He's not a man that can lie, unlike our leaders, he doesn't deny our cries, hin don notify us from the start say na we be the bad guy, say make we no dey use prayer dey try justify our lies, when we don't abide by what we identify by, because of the money dem claim to supply.

The money dem claim to supply? kai! and yet the sapa dey terrify, abi e no terrify?

(Hmmmm)

Hunger dey our land, and we dey vex say God no really send our perplexed.

We dey vex? Why we dey vex

When we don't believe anymore in community like Malcom x

When we have no natural disasters that affects our mud houses, bungalows and duplex

We dey vex? When na we bring this tin upon our selves. Pele o generation x.

Tor, as we don talk all these one, wetin be the way forward?

Because actions no fit happen by just words

We all have to all be on board

So we can pursue this hunger and fraud and as a community go upwards.

So no, our Lord doesl not ignore. Because me. You, all of us know say God don try.
