Captives Lyrics by Th3 Ghost

Spoken Water

2019

(Dice Angel)
Captives captives
We go catch them
(Th3)
The heads of the country
Eat the national cake
And quench their thirst
With the tears of the hungry
Or years we been grumbling
But nothing changes but personnel
With the task
Of giving each person hell
Police lock me in a cell
Tell Chukwuma I’m innocent (Innocent Chukwuma)
So he can hold a sign for me
Grant my bail, sign for me
Forgive my short sightedness
I’m bright
It’s just I live in a blind country
Eyes closed and I pray
For Aso Rock to house Soyinka
Lion with the jewels Wole
Ma worry no Dimka
Shots fired...
But it’s in the air of celebration
For the new head of the nation
Fellow co worker same occupation
Street soldiers but we fighting for civil rights
Left wing politics prolly is
What the public needs
But the problem is
We are on a leash
(Th3)
I’m held captive
In a land I know is rightfully my own
I’m being cheated and I know
But I’m scared of the unknown
So I’m with the devil
That I know
But why o
Wh wh why oo
I know a politician
But can’t call his name
He missed the walk of shame
Cos his walk is lame
He follows the crooked way
To a stupid place
Looking gay
Hol up this a game too can play
Who can say his name
Cos I got a few complaints
Who gon bell the cat ?
Who gon pull it ?
Take the bull by the horn
And shove it in a bully
Who he ????
Well you’re a revolutionary
In a scary world
And that’s some buried pearls
You were made from the dust
That only settle scores
If you die for a cause
You a martyr and heaven’s yours
They came as missionaries
Holding bibles and dictionaries
Saying white is peace
And the black is beast
Ffffffictionary !!!
The only thing you love is war
So white is the colour of war
For years now you brought the coloured war
We broke free
Now watch the coloured soar
I’m held captive
In a land I know is rightfully my own
I’m being cheated and I know
But I’m scared of the unknown
So I’m with the devil
That I know
But why o
Wh wh why oo
(pRo)
Literally this is H20 in words
Say what I want cos I’m free like a bird
Shey the leaders in naija
Stand behind millitant touts
So yeah you know just what I’m talking about
My people fear to be bold
Scared cos our protectors are foes
You know it’s best not to fuck with the code
So every body mind your bidness
Play dumb keep quiet and witness
Our lands get fucked up with no penis
People die for black gold everyday
Corporates won’t fear to slay
Even those that they call brothers
Cos they don’t know another way
To earn a living
Condition’s unforgiven
So we take with no thanksgiving
Those ones that serve us
Don’t uphold what they promise
They aide our shortcomings
The record shows I’m being honest
Take a second to reflect
All these years gon by
Tears won’t Dry
The evils in our land won’t die
Why???
The thirst for riches of those before us
Took their sight
And granted inability to stand for what is right
Over time it made us weak
But ironically it created a generation
That’ll make us peak
If the good people fail to speak
Over time our direction of our rights goes steep
Till it hits rock bottom
Like a smack down
Then maybe y’all search for proof
Like a pat down
We gotta act now
Dice Angel chants till fade
Propaganda, evil agenda....
