Emz - Where I'm From Lyrics

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild south west
Round here "shine your eye" is the Survival prowess
Your reality is loud as your stomach growl gets
Here we dance with the devil, so we're taking foul steps
Yeah we facing wild threats
Stick up juvenile theft
Living life as a gamble, and we losing our bets
Long arm of the law, it ain't truly outstretched
Cuz the gavel bangs different for who's moving out cheques
From the jump its showtime, it's never sound check
Middle fingers in the air when we get round feds
Its the same thing; Federal, State and House Reps
Cuz we still tryna fit square holes in round pegs
But when the night come, it's jam packed the lounge gets
Just ordinary people, in search of an outlet
Thats the way we know, the suffering and smile set
Its Eko for show, and na we get mouth sef

Cough up a lung
Where I'm from, Eko son
Ain't nothing nice at the end of this rainbow son
Listen
Eko for show
You know the ropes
Its toe to toe
The codes
Just to hold your own
Come on

In Twenty-Twenty in October
The youth alliance rose up
To protest the brutality and bring it to a closure
A move so landmark
An Internet trend sparked
Somehow we got to let the world know we gonna end SARS
The labour of our heroes present, I'm talking you and I
Pumping our fist, we insisting on a newer Naij
Where the oil wealth equates to a future bright
So we gotta get the status quo through the sewer pipe
Hashtag ENDSARS, Hashtag ENDSWAT
If it ain't "five for five", that regiment's crap
Yeah we see the vile trickery they handcraft
They don't take our word for bond, so don't stand back
Occupy the toll gate
Gotta send a message that can hold weight
When the army come make you no shake
The shots fired
They got the facts tie up
They ruled it inconclusive, shit is a tad biased
