Nneka – Showin' Love lyrics

You keep pushing the blame on our colonial fathers
You say they came and they took all we had pocessed
They have to take the abuse that they have caused our present state with their
Intruding history
Use our goodness and nourishment in the Name of missionary
Lied to us, blinded slaved us, misplaced us, strengthen us, hardened us then
They replaced us now we got to learn from pain
Now it is up to us to gain some recognition
If we stopp blaming we could get a better condition
Wake up world!
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up africa!
Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes!
Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty

Why do we want to remain where we started
And how long do we want to stop ourselves from thinking
We should learn from experience that what we are here for this existence
But now we decide to use the same hatred to oppress our own brothers
It is so comfortable to say racism is the cause
But this time it is the same colour chasing and biting us
Knowledge and selfishness that they gave to us, this is what we use to abuse us

Wake up world!
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up africa!
Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes!
Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty

Those who have ears let them hear
Brothers who are not brainwashed takt ruins and rest
Pick them up and stick them back together
This is the only way we can change this african weather
Lied to us, blinded slaved us, misplaced us, strengthen us, hardened us then

Wake up world!
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up africa!
Wake up and stop blaming
Open ur eyes!
Stand up and rise
Road block oh life penalty

You got to wake up please
Youuuuu got tooo
(Wake up africa wake up and stop blaming)
Blaming ha ha ha
Open yours eyes your eyes
Stand up and riise
Road block oh life penalty
Wake up
