Lyrics

Black

Many words I wanna say

Many things I wanna let out

Many problems I dey face

They don't wanna hear us out now

This is a big disgrace

No be so we wan dey run am

We are who we are

I am black and beautiful

I can be who I wanna be

We are black and beautiful

We can be who we wanna beeee

Give me a reason

Why I can't be who I wanna be

Ouuu weee

Give me a reason

Why I can't be who I wanna be

Who I wanna be

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free

I just wanna be free, yeah

We just wanna be free, yeah

E ba mi so fun t'onile t'oko

Ojo kan a kan l'ori oko

All the lies all the zobo

Gbogbo wa la ma wo inu oro

EFCC dey chase money launder

Gbogbo wa ma ni armed robber

Money lost them say na fire

The one monkey chop, we no recover

For my country many hunger

Sugbon mo mope ma yan fanda

Sugbon mo mope ma yanfanda

I am black and beautiful

I can be who I wanna be

We are black and beautiful

We can be who we wanna beeee

Give me a reason

Why I can't be who I wanna be

Ouuu weee

Give me a reason

Why I can't be who I wanna be

Who I wanna be

I just wanna be free

Free like a bird

I just wanna be free

Free like an eagle

I just wanna be free, yeah

We just wanna be free, yeah

We just wanna be free

We just wanna be free

We just wanna be free

We just wanna be free
