jyellowl & harrysong - reality check lyrics

[intro: jyellowl]
(yo, chris kabs, that boy there have to tek time)
[?], yeah

[verse 1: jyellowl]
loo, i cry for africa, all i can do is cry tearing up
’cause black lives matter, but we don’t meet the criteria
thinking why us, huh? fake love, l’m quite weary of
i’m hearing bias, bruh, here in the diaspora
if i was in nigeria, i’d be at my burial
if there is a god, then why doesn’t he like hearing you?
every midnight vigil ends with candlelight’s wearing off
and we’re left in the dark ’cause there’s no light in our areas
nopе, nepa took it neighbourhood died, еlectrocuted
tried to fix it ’cause he couldn’t pay his bill
my blood is boiling, but i’m staying still
no sign of retribution, lives are paralysed by fear that they instil
they say united we stand divided, we fall
what? like the biafran war, tribes and diaspora didn’t divide us before?
i’ve tried to be calm, peaceful protesters we’re violently warned
and died for reform, no, that’s not what i desire anymore
time to evolve to a state where problems finally solve
and governments will try to be more than self+serving civil servants that lie to me or
where our welfare is a concern, we don’t have to be poor
and our babies can be glad to be born
[chorus: harrysong]
our father, yeah, yeah
who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
i have a question
i’m even ashamed
to be second+guessing
but can you hear our prayers and
will it ever change, ever change? yeah
life is sweet
when you see me as i see you, jeje
equally
baba, race me as i race you, jeje
reality check o
reality check o, jeje
reality check o
oh

[verse 2: jyellowl]
look, every day we compromise all our knowledge has come from lies
tryna fight for my people while tryna get my numbers right
let me try to summarise
look, i know my voice resides in a box that can only amplified if i can get my song to cry
either they leave us hanging or our lives are on the line
either way, we’re pegged on it ’cause our lives are undermined
explosive ’cause everything we’re standing for is undermined
our pain is poetic, l’m not being clever on the rhymes
every day we endure it
didn’t teach me ’bout the country, but they taught me how to pledge for it
green, red and green for our fallen soldiers that bled for it
sister comes home late, now they’re calling her an escort
twist the hair that comes out of my head, now i’m a threat for it
shave it to prevent quarrel
pull me over, “how you get this car?” i paid sweat for it
“no, you’re doing fraud” and so they raid without a search warrant
which kind search warrant? violate unless you’re in
a government car or your father is an electoral candidate
and end of day, they’re lecturing
me to love my country, but it’s difficult
especially when the love is not reciprocal, yeah
[chorus: harrysong]
our father, yeah, yeah
who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
i have a question
i’m even ashamed
to be second+guessing
but can you hear our prayers and
will it ever change, ever change? yeah

[bridge: harrysong]
fling me, fling me
slap me, slap me
beat me, beat me
scatter me, scatter me
anyhow you do me
se you no like me?
me i no like you too
oh yo, oh yo
beat me, beat me
wound me, wound me
k!ll me, k!ll me
you no dey like me
you no wan do me
yes, i dey see you
see you o
[chorus: harrysong]
life is sweet
when you see me as i see you, jeje
equally
baba, race me as i race you, jeje
reality check o
reality check o, jeje
reality check o
oh
