State of Emergency Lyrics by BANTU (Crew)

2025

[Chorus]
\nState of emergency
\nSo so wahala eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\n
\n[Verse 1: Vector]
\nIt’s Getting stale telling people to unite
\nKinda crazy when you speak and all they give you is the knife
\nUsed to be stabbing your back
\nAnd Now they do it to your face
\nCheck the comments on the posts
\nHow the people do relate
\nThеy all know that the division is the mission from the missions as wе went from vegetation to emissions
\nThe journey many travel in disconnect to the truth
\nIt’s odd cos I prove it in the booth
\nOlukoso fire
\nYou see the use of all tha fire’s cos the world is truly cold
\nWith the narrative I’m leading cos i corely truly know that my people will be stronger if we come into a fold
\nEro ya, ero go
\nEro Cho
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nState of emergency
\nMan dey para eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\nState of emergency
\nSo so wahala eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nThe people are living in panic struggling everyday
\nThey are begging and crying for mercy
\nPraying hope wouldn’t slip away
\nThe rich keep feasting and dividing
\nThe poor languishing in suffering
\nWhile we hurt and turn on each other
\nThey are getting away with murder
\nTime to wise and realize
\nLet’s join our forces to win the fight
\nIts freedom or death with no regrets
\nUnite to win and don’t you fret
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nState of emergency
\nMan dey para eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\nState of emergency
\nSo so wahala eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nOh oh oh oh oh oh problem overload e o
\nOh oh oh oh oh oh problem overload e o
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nState of emergency
\nMan dey para, eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\nState of emergency
\nSo so wahala, eye dey red
\nWhere to turn when you’re filled with dread
\nWho to trust when it’s all pretend
\n
\nOh oh oh oh oh oh problem overload e o
\n
\n[Outro]
\nAs the pressure mounts
\nAnd we find ourselves trapped
\nIn the vicious cycle of cynicism and anger
\nThe marginalized must organize
\nFor that remains the only viable option
\nOur only answer\n\n
