COALITION

How many people have to die
How many people have to suffer
How meant people have to lose their lives (love their lives)
See that sister she dey cry
She say they don kill her lover
See a mama screaming through the night (through the night)

They said we’re independent from the colonisers
Then they became our new oppressors
Say we’re new slaves in our motherland
See we don’t got guns but they still dey shoot us
And the president he does not address this
They say don’t fight, still we fight for our rights

We’ll be fighting
We’ll be fighting
Coalition, We’ll be fighting
We’ll be fighting
We’ll be fighting
Coalition, We’ll be fighting

Why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh (how many people have to die)
Why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh (how many people have to suffer)
Why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh (how many people have to lose their lives)

In the North, they say do it for God
In the East, they say to it for blood
In the South, they say do it for the crown
Trying to divide us, trying to divide us
Trying to divide us, trying to divide us
But we all know now that we are stronger
In coalition, with no division
We’ve got one mission
But we all know now, yeah
But we all know now that we are stronger
But we all know now, yeah
But we all know now that we are stronger
(Rest in peace to everyone who’s lost their lives fighting for freedom
Greater love hath no man than this)

We’ll be fighting
We’ll be fighting
Coalition, We’ll be fighting
We’ll be fighting
We’ll be fighting
Coalition, We’ll be fighting

Why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh
