LYRICS
Intro:
SOI
We bring the light
Where you at where you at
Ladygod TLN
Verse :
There’s a passion inside of me
I’m searching dividedly
Proactively suffering
Just cos of insanity
That’s really geographically
Induced because of the
Mindless hypocrisy of
People we chose to lead
There’s wickedness flying
Over around in circles
It’s literally hovering
Over around in circles
Naira hitting recession
Prices hike in succession
Making the dream of every
NIGERIAN to jakpa
You know the 1st of October
Is a day to be remembered
The heroes of our past stood tall
fighting for better
It may seem like we lost it
Most certainly we didn’t
There’s a dawn of a brand new day
Coming sooner than later
Yeah I said what I said there
We should get rid of the fear
That’s mining coins inside of us
Breeding unforeseen despair
Cos our hope is in Jesus
And we know he gat great plans
Basically excluded the devil
Declined his invite card
Chorus :
In the dark cloud see the silver lining
Through the downfall see the uprising
In the thick dark days you keep on shining
Just believe there’ll be better days
Keep your head high never stop believing
Hold your faith strong in and out of season
Even when you seem like to be out of reason
Just believe there’ll be better days
Tolani:
Now,
Watch as I command jewels from the mind
Poetically profound, lyrically inclined, spiritually aligned cos it’s all by design
I’m about to get inside your head like a sew in
Lead you out of Egypt just like Moses I’m chosen
Even as world economies turn on their heads, their systems fail and financial institutions crumble
As Men’s wisdom cause them to stumble and their paradigms shift and tumble
We proclaim the lifting up seated as we are on higher ground, tables round, nations gathered around
We have restoration and hope through the Gospel
Freely enjoying the faith and liberty that it brings
We’re God kings
Mingling with royalty
Fellowshipping with divinity
And life is kinda like a gym the way things are working out for good, so
Don’t be blinded by the devil’s propaganda
They’re weak, 7 days
Everyday
When it seems that the road is too long, too rough, too tough
And you and yours just isn’t enough
Look up to the sky and remember
That you are not alone
You have Jah within, you’re an extension of Him
