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....
