CEP Sefogah - The Open Hidden Truth Lyrics

Let's begin with this analogy
Have a seat, with your mind, travel with me
Don't forget to come along with your geography
Imagine in space you see the earth spinning
Either from left to right or right to left on its axis
Now the question we ask is
Why don't we feel the same when are on it
If we being honest that's what they make it look like with governance
Now they've got everything figured out when their out of it but when
They are on the seat it turns to a ball game of words that rhyme with deceit
If men were angels there will be no need for government, James Madison
But the maddest thing is we as a people get our sort of leaders we deserve
If men were angels there will be no need for government
So there is government to help check us
But how do we go about this election process?
We vote because he is tall and handsome
Cos we come from the same geographical region
I mean even if he's a goat as a candidate he sure will get my vote
Because I'm affiliated to this part for life
Like SM movement even when I'm been slapped
Nah scratch that
But seriously how dare us complain when they don't do things the right way
When we didn't get them there in the right way
How many of us even voted based on policies
Like I said, honestly honesty is what we lack
Let's get back on track
Analyse their policies before we give them our trust
And when they mess that up
Let's not be afraid to punish them because we created them

They bite and chew, grind and swallow
While we twist and turn on empty bellies in a sleep so shallow
To fatten their pockets, our tummies were flattened
Our cloths they took, to keep themselves warm
To build the gap, Our sweat and silver built their iron gates
To rule over us our votes they lobbied, only to Lord over us
They pretend to lead us, yet, with a tunnel vision towards their selfish interest

They say without a leader, ants are confused
Yet on their watch, our walls of hope and trust were broken
Our visions shuttered like eggs on the floor
Like ashes that fly back into the face him who throws them
Our trust in them came back hitting us hard in the face
So incompetent, one by one they failed on their promises
Quenching the only flame that kept our faith alive

I was told that you can out run that which is running after you
But you can never out run that which is inside of you
And so one by one they each assume the throne
Only to turn out like those before them
Give a man power and you'll see his true nature, this too I was told
In opposition they spoke against the ruler
During their turn, they kept mute and the others too will criticize them
They toy with us as though we were curved dolls from the Bamboos of Africa Savanna

They will tell you
Don't you know we don't speak with our mouths choked with food
Hmmn but who leads the blind when the leader of the blind is also blind?
We may have been living by hope
But a reed never becomes an Iroko tree by dreaming
And although patience may be the key that solves all problems
It is a luxury we can't afford
And so tomorrow we will wake up to a new day
A day of transparency, accountability, leadership, success and expectations
So today we inspire change with our words
And although we may be commoners
We are powerful because our words are our weapons
And it is only a man that uses force that is afraid of reasoning
And so for us we will speak today with our words
That they may inspire and effect the change we want
No one can give us what we want but ourselves
For it is the man who lies by the fire that knows how hot it is

No more gaps
No more secrets
No more failures
No more conspiracies
Lead us well and we'll follow
Mislead us and we'll take back our support
For we are rising
Let the army rise
