We had our Sharpeville in Lekki

We had our Sharpeville in Lekki

We had our Sharpeville in Lekki

A Tiananmen Square melee

Young people gunned down in their prime

Wanting good government was their crime

 

They seek to change society

Pressing leaders for probity

Asking that bad governance ends

And for past crimes they make amends

 

Youths want accountability

That welfare’s a priority

They want the police force reformed

And brutality be deformed

 

Nigerians no longer wants Sars

Uniformed crooks with stars and bars

Marching people to cash machines

To withdraw cash to back their needs

 

Rather than address these matters

Government replied with blood splatters

They sent out troops to kill our youth

Hired thugs to bury the truth

 

Shooting young people as they please

Killing like criminals with ease

Their crimes are part of other woes

Poor living standards for us goes

 

When our youth said we’ll take no more

They were gunned down in a galore

Murdering them as in Sharpeville

A Tiananmen Square turkey kill

 

That day will live in ignominy

Nigeria’s date of infamy

When troops were used to kill the youth

Who did nothing but tell the truth
