[Verse 1] Mama count the garri Still dey watch the price Light go off for evening Generator sing all night Brother hold my shoulder Say “how we go survive?” Road full of bad potholes Still we dey drive [Pre-Chorus] But we no go fold We no go bow Too many prayers Too many mouths From Kano to the creek Hear the people shout We dey look for better We dey fight it out [Chorus] Nigeria, we go rise Nigeria, we go rise Hold your brother tight Nigeria, we go rise Naija, we go rise Naija, we go rise One day the pain go end Nigeria, we go rise [Verse 2] Small girl in the classroom Dreaming of her book Teacher wear the same shoe But she still dey look Market woman hustling Sun dey burn her skin Everyday she borrow hope And she bring it in The boys for the junction Tired of the lie They want jobs, they want peace They want truth inside And the old ones whisper “We don see enough” But the young ones answer “We still get enough” [Pre-Chorus] But we no go fold We no go bow Too many prayers Too many mouths From Lagos to the east Hear the people shout We dey look for better We dey fight it out [Chorus] Nigeria, we go rise Nigeria, we go rise Hold your brother tight Nigeria, we go rise Naija, we go rise Naija, we go rise One day the pain go end Nigeria, we go rise [Bridge] From the dust and the tears We still carry gold In the hearts of the people Fire never cold If the road rough today Tomorrow still dey come Hear the drum say “keep on” Till the work get done [Final Chorus] Nigeria, we go rise Nigeria, we go rise Hold your brother tight Nigeria, we go rise Naija, we go rise Naija, we go rise One day the pain go end Nigeria, we go rise Nigeria, we go rise Nigeria, we go rise
