LOOK WHAT YOU'VE MADE ME DO
What cause have you given me celebrate?
If your turned backs aren't deliberate,
Why do I pray to God to give me things you should?
Why can't I be picked when I could?
God wouldn't come to my aide
I've starred at the flip side of rights;
And I took the bait.
Look what you made me do
I was born to face the truth that truth isn't true
I stand against you today because am the child of you,
Sick of drinking same old juice,
Like Heracles defied Zeus,
So am I tired of you.
You've made kidnappers out of soldiers
Armed robbers out of comrades
Fraudsters out of intellects
Depressed thinkers out of the poets
And unbelievers out of believers
But today for the first time since I was born
I sing arise o compatriots and understand the message,
The memo Azikiwe, Awolowo and Belewa left me
Arise o children and take ye back thy country.
