In the words of Traoré
"If we are as poor as they say
Why don't they want to leave?"
Papa dem call you symbol
Symbol of hope for the people
Papa dem call you Simba
Lion King make the viking shiver
The other side calling you a Tyrant
How dare you Mr Jailer
So noor dem do to Nkrumah
Sankara, Lumumba
So noor dem do to King Luther
I have a dream
King Ibrahim live forever
More power King Ibrahim (Traoré)
Lion of the Land, brave like Nkrumah
Ibrahim (Traoré)
Power to the people
Wokum apem'aa apem beba
Ibrahim (Traoré)
Courage of Mandela
The people's champion
Ibrahim (Traoré)
African kings reincarnatin'
It's our time now
Live long King Ibrahim (Traoré)
Cut the strings burn puppeteer
Dem' afraid when the cheer
Your hook and line plan no go clear
Daybreak, Africa wana eye clear
People watching across the sphere
Children, mothers wipe your tears
God's time is finally here
He go raise leaders
Wey go dey properly steer us to victory
Karma is due time to pay
African youth we no go stray
Stay woke season
For shey-gey reason (Aii)
Ibrahim (Traoré)
Lion of the Land, brave like Nkrumah
Ibrahim (Traoré)
Power to the people
Wokum apem'aa apem beba
Ibrahim (Traoré)
Courage of Mandela
The people's champion
Ibrahim (Traoré)
African kings reincarnatin'
It's our time now
Live long King Ibrahim (Traoré)
East side, West side
North side, South side
This side be our side
We better stand strong

(East side, West side)
"From Ottawa to Paris
The streets are lit up"
(The side be our side)
"But in Naija it's darkness
That is served to us" (Traoré)
"Our lands are riddled
With holes everywhere
In search of precious metals like gold"
"That is why we decided to revolt"
"And take the destiny
Of our countries into our own hands"
(Traotré)
