Lyrics

State of emergency
So so wahala eye dey red (BANTU Crew, aha, Megaloh)
Where to turn when you're filled with dread (zu viel Wahala)
Who to trust when it's all pretend (Let's go)
Alle sind am Limit, allen reicht's
Denn es reicht schon lang nicht zu mehr als nur Reis
Der Kleine schreit
Keine Zeit Kind zu sein, muss überleben
Die an der Macht entscheiden über Leben
Schon sehr früh die Familie supporten
Krank vor Sorge, wie soll er sie versorgen?
So wird ein guter Schüler zu 'nem Jäger
Tauscht die Bücher mit 'ner 9MM
Beten für mehr bevor jeder Tag beginnt
Zukunft verbaut, weil die Gegenwart bestimmt
Realität, wie lässt sie sich ändern?
Echte Gangster sitzen fett in den Ämtern, damn
State of emergency
Man dey para eye dey red
Where to turn when you're filled with dread
Who to trust when it's all pretend
State of emergency
So so wahala eye dey red
Where to turn when you're filled with dread
Who to trust when it's all pretend
The people are living in panic struggling everyday
They are begging and crying for mercy
Praying hope wouldn't slip away
The rich keep feasting and dividing
The poor languishing in suffering
While we hurt and turn on each other
They are getting away with murder
Time to wise and realize
Let's join our forces to win the fight
Its freedom or death with no regrets
Unite to win and don't you fret
State of emergency
Man dey para eye dey red
Where to turn when you're filled with dread
Who to trust when it's all pretend
State of emergency
So so wahala eye dey red
Where to turn when you're filled with dread
Who to trust when it's all pretend
Oh oh oh oh oh oh problem overload e o
Oh oh oh oh oh oh problem overload e o
State of emergency
Man dey para eye dey red
Where to turn when you're filled with dread
Who to trust when it's all pretend
State of emergency
So so wahala eye dey red
Where to turn when you're filled with dread
Who to trust when it's all pretend
Oh
As the pressure mounts (oh oh)
And we find ourselves trapped in the vicious cycle (oh oh oh)
Of cynicism and anger (Problem overload e o)
The marginalised must organise (Oh)
For that remains the only viable option (oh oh oh oh oh)
Our only answer (problem overload e o)
