The Story of Sudan

[Intro: Wafir]
Yeah, okay

[Verse 1: Wafir]
Television tell me stories of the motherland
My people going through a lot, you gotta understand
I might just pack up and travel back to my city
And check up on all my family, make sure they safe from Hemedti
It's a revolution in the truest sense of the word
Swear this shit is really absurd, I ain't lying, it's got me worried
Let's take 'em back real quick, a couple months ago is how it all started
If you still don't know it, I'm talkin' 'bout
This the story of Sudan, this the story of the fam
And you can barely even fathom what I'm saying, just imagine
Gas prices rising rapidly, food as well, a catastrophe
Millions march on the streets 'cause it's not the way that it has to be, uh
They try and kill us, they don't want us on top
So they try negotiating, but we know it's all talk
Swear it's power to the people, they won't ever be denied
The government don't like it, so they tryna keep 'em quiet
Cutting off the Internet and now they telling lies
'Cause they don't wanna see the revolution televised
But it don't matter 'cause my people really finna rise up
Swear the leaders that's in power gotta know their time's up
Dedicated to the martyrs so the world can see 'em clear
Know they fighting through the fear, already got rid of Bashir
Temporary transition from the same exact evil
We need a government made and led by the people

[Hook: Wafir & dread scott]
Revolution on the rise
You gotta see it's on the rise, ayy
And we looking for them better days
See the eyes of my people never hesitate
Yeah, and we doing what we can, uh
Yeah, I said we doing what we can, uh
Yeah, I said we doing what we can (Yo)
This the story of Sudan, I dedicate it to Sudan (DRAPETO, aah!)

[Verse 2: dread scott]
Thirty years, thirty years, know the people sick and tired
Of that tyrant al-Bashir, I was with 'em in the streets
Throwing rocks at police, bullets flying through the heat
Tear gas, I couldn't breathe, little cousin on his knees
People struggling to eat, ain't the way it's s'posed to be
I know freedom isn't free, former British colony
Rising up like Mahdi, we don't want the same ruler
From defense ministries, said we need democracy
And the people gotta work but we never gave up hope
Army don't want any smoke, let the people go and vote
That's the way for a change, know we ousted two leaders
In the same damn day, ain't nobody tryna wait
So I'm snatching that baton, I put my gas mask on
Gas lines too long, storm the president's home
Fifty milli' in the safe, everybody grab a case
Make the sure the family okay, we tryna see some better days
Breaking down them barricades, army got them weapons aimed
Know we going renegade, they put a curfew but they late
Leaders failed at their job, so disgusted with y'all
I mean, 'staqfarallah, how the president himself
Gonna run from the law? Need a gun to his jaw
Can't ignore what we saw, nah, nah
Shout-out to every Kandaka, every mother, every father
Tryna build a better future for our sons and our daughters, yeah

[Hook: Wafir]
