Nneka - Soul Is Heavy Lyrics






[Verse 1]
Naija in the loud and roudy of my world
there is a secret place where I find myself,
can I find you?
Biafra, the noise of horns of thirsty nigerians,
of hustlers, of mothers confront me as I walk pass
Lagos, in prayer contemplation, like a ghost
I feel the sorrow of a many,
still I do not know how much pain it takes
Naija, I walk the island, I walk the mainland,
I see diversity, I smell capacity but still we suffer, why?

[Chorus]
I am, the voice of Isaac Boro,
I speak Ken Saro Wiwa
I am, the spirit of Jaja of Opobo,
fight for right, for our freedom
You? A power hungry class of army arrangements,
stealing money in my country’s plight
A soldier pretending to be a politician,
you teacher who no nothing do not teach
me lies

[Verse 2]
Naija, generators wake from my self pity,
no time to waste like okana, really hits
Naija, for too long we have surrendered
to the ignorance of ourself defense in you
we have failed
America, how far must we walk in calamity in suppression,
how long would take for you to love Naija
As I sit here i want to live,
there are so many plans for you but still I can’t deliver

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Stealing money, in my country’s plight
You’re stealing money in my country’s plight

[Verse 3]
Great mother my respect for you is in depht
my fear od death for you might kill me
Fallen lucifer, percieve wahala,
as we embrace you with change,
you stay selfish fundamental
Black Africa, we still survive,
we still will rise for the world needs us to be America?
This soul is heavy, the little you have left to me,
I charge to function in your madness
I am… in your madness

  18. A.... A....

    come on youtube...1 Million views please

  19. M.... A....

    Salve Nneka!
    Admirable position critique and ethics!

  20. E.... B....

    To all Biafra supporters - write more everywhere, make fake accounts if you are scared for your lives, who cares. #Biafratruth is what matters, lives of heroes are what matters, time is up so shout to the world like this lady Nneka to #letBiafrago - justice is the word which matters, I know this place called Earth is corrupted to the core but giving up isnt an option for anyone who loves their children, please....dont be afraid and dont give up.

  21. E.... B....

    To all Europeans on this thread - please demand an explanation why the contract signed in 1914 and expired in 2014 is not being followed, especially when tribes in NIgeria REALLY DONT GET ON and particularly #Igbo of #Biafra believe strongly in new state of Biafra. Biafra never died as UK Shell UN would like you to believe. Its actually at the moment more alive than ever. IPOB are a legal society now. check hashtags #FreeBiafra #FreeNnamdiKanu #Biafragenocide - exhibition I think in France now. There is gagging policy on papers on this issue and it needs to lift for people around the WORLD to know what UN is about, it should act in crisis such as this and it is not because funny enough, high representatives are from the tribe which members own half of Biafra and kill pro BIafra activists. We are witnessing revolution in Nigeria, people are beaten by police and army for wearing a cap representing Biafra colours... and nobody knows. Outrageous...we pay UN salaries from taxes in our companies world wide, so they support injustice. I was astonished when i saw quiet genocidal killings...see twitter and you believe...learn something every day because tomorrow it can be YOUR nation

    do you know what this song is about? You love Nneka, Africa? check twitter campaign against genocide of Igbos and especially Biafrans in Nigeria. #FreeBiafra #FreeNnamdiKanu - all those names are names of Biafrans who died in a bid to free their nation from Nigeria amalgamation signed in 1914 for 100 years - Nigeria should not exist anymore because the 100 years contract with Britain has finished three years ago in 2014. Please share this information, look for those hashtags. A LOT to open public eyes...organic borders for Africa, colonialism finished 60 years ago (or did it?)

    A.... M....

    Anastasia Marley please don't like her.. remember it's African. and I know very very very well that your people hate Africans soo much

    A.... M....

    Dont listen to Collins, everyone who is inspired by music is special and kind person, especially thoughtful music such as Nneka. Do you know what this song is about? Check twitter campaign #freeNnamdiKanu #freeBiafra and you will find quiet revolution, intriques, better than any book you'd ever read about #Nigeria - its happening now but they dont want us to know....please help the tribe which suffered for so many years, a Century or more. #Biafragenocide

    A.... M....

    Anastasia obviously doesnt hate Africans so why are you pouring poison into a beutiful song...dont you want Africa free and respected.

    A.... M....

    Πόσο περισσότερο παπάρας μπορείς να γίνεις ανθρωπάκο..? ποιός είσαι εσύ που μπορείς να μιλήσεις για Ανθρώπους πέρα απ'το τομάρι σου? .. γρήγορα στη σπηλιά σου collins dion..

  44. N.... Z....

    l love this song<3

  45. D.... c....

    In Nigeria 1967, they killed over 3 million Igbos with starvation and shells supplied by UK. They tried to bury the history but we already know the story.

    D.... c....

    if you would like to know, that story is opening is opening up, Igbo Biafrans still want their state back and against the rules of UN charter of human rights, which says that every nation has right for its determination and freedom of expression, even today thousands were killed for their desire of having their own state. For us Europeans this is a hard concept to grasp as we believe that UN charters are being followed around the world and its local governments whom are unruly and so on and so forth....let me tell you into a secret Shell, UK, UN dont want us to know - Biafra is very much alive in Nigeria, Igbos want their own state and NIgeria document was signed to exist for 100 years (1914-2014) so in fact, Nigeria should not exist. Support their campaign if you are as outraged as Nneka and me on twitter you will find from other Biafrans more following campaign #freebiafra #freennamdikanu

  46. S.... ....

    i just love it, great job !

  47. R.... e....

    fire me sisteren. speak with those great voices burn baby-lone.

  48. b.... z....

    Nneka,you remined me of late Ken Saro Wiwa proverb,stated you can kill the messager but you can't kill the messages.like dis track keep on 

    b.... z....

    Great Words !

    b.... z....

    That's why they are even more valuable !
