VERSE 1

They do it for the money and endorsements
I do it for babies aborted and the orphans
For every Agu turned to Striker, every child forced to fight
For their life cos someone's greed caused genocide
Or the like, now they're talking another Biafra
I'm like taa! Gerarahia, shi nga puwa!
That's like going from HD to beta max and
It'll never happen, nah nwanne we need a better maxim
So I bomb 'em with love, a weapon truly everlasting
That's the forever vaccine you your crew and 'em are lacking
Ogbeni wait– right under your nose your own daughters
Are getting steady raped by the same fools you call brothers
But no, you don't wanna hear truth you prefer to hit the hood
Become a household name while yours burns to soot?
So while you're out playing heroes, pros and dons
I'm here protecting what really needs protecting
Coat of Arms
Negus


HOOK (Igbo)
Chukwukadibia nna gi gbalu gi afa
Uwa nzuzu, uwa nmebi, gie nti
Uwa bu uwa Chukwu onweli onye ga kali Chukwu
(Han! Han! Han!)
Onweli onye ga kali Chukwu
Nwanne e bu a scholar
Nwanne e ji the intellect
Nwanne e diro basic
Nwanne e digo di iche
Revolutionary bars nwanne, e di iche
Onye nche, Chukwu agozigo gi with the bars
Akonuche, wisdom is God's kingdom
Chukwukadibia gie nti
Chukwukadibia gie nti
Ha!

Coat of Arms, Negus!
Coat of Arms, Negus!
Coat of Arms, Negus!
Coat of Arms, Negus!
Coat of Arms, Negus!

Here is the point
As long as we continue to fool ourselves into thinking
That we can somehow appoint wolves to guard the flock
And then expect the wolves to become vegetarians
We deny the evidence of our own eyes
We see these things and yet we deny it!

Do not die in their war–
It's their war
They have no interest in the people
Choose your own war in which to die!


VERSE 2

Keep fighting for a politician's applause
Keep fighting for the Headies Next Rated award
Keep living for the likes and the followers
I hope you find that it was all worth it when it's all over
Me, I got a higher power to answer to
Who doesn't give a damn how many miles an hour your car can do
Isn't impressed by all your hoes and side chicks
Not interested in how turnt the parties in your house get
Or how sick your couch is, or what outlet
You get your outfit from– to Him you might as well be wearing blouses!
Cos you gloss over every real issue or skirt around it
Beating around your bush- you're Suspect so I'm' o Sound It!
Look, I know you trying to cake more than Araba
Snakes trying to SeverUs Snapes slithering like Salazar
But when you hear the trumpet sound, know it's on
Till then I'm protecting what needs protecting– Coat of Arms
Negus!
