Blood Oil

{Chorus}
Diamonds are forever,
Put the oil in the sky and see if it rains
Diamonds are forever
Bring your bucket outside and feel our pains
(fetch it)
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?......

{Verse 1}
Now take your toes to Oloibiri and see it first
See the blessing as real as the curse
It is so damn real nothing to rehearse
Something like a plague, like AIDS in my purse
Leprosy, cancer, doc I need a cure
Can't drink of this cup, the water is far from pure
The fish in the river pray to fly like birds
If you sail on this river it's like you sail dirts
Yeah, I have to speak my thoughts
So loud in my head I had to turn the volume off
I'm breaking out this prison Scofield is small
Oloibiri ain't Smallville but enough is enough
That's the first place oil ever came forth
That's the first place oil money came from
Never known for a second just what they take off
Nothing to write about poorly abandon

{Chorus}
Diamonds are forever,
Put the oil in the sky and see if it rains
Diamonds are forever
Bring your bucket outside and feel our pains (fetch it)
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?......

{Verse 2}
I don't know too many things to rap about
I don't have too many things to brag about
We got blood in the oil that's what I'm about
"Blood oil" that's the title of Oil from the south
Groundnut pyramids was by ownership
No one from the south even own a ship
When the cake was shared we don't own a shit
When the crumb is through we go for our bits
When it comes to cocoa same was done,
We're one, but not after the 1960's
Ask those in 50's, 60 and above,
they'll tell you everything was good before their gimmicks
So here's my remix
Good if you listen to every word I spit I spit in my lyrics
Before your critics
Talk is cheap I rather speak my mind than play your mimics

You're welcome to earth, I don't go to Mars
If I am Labgaja I rather die in my mask
We pray to get better, we're getting worse
Even a day old is corrupt in his goddamn heart
And it goddamn hurt, the future is blind
The metaphor, is something we go really mental for
After the war, Biafra did loss,
But Isaac Boro fight is what I'm for

After oil was discovered cake cutting change
No more ownership, I guess they're derange
It's now by mass and maths of population
Hell with what they thought and the whole of this nation
Their policy is depredation,
It's our time with the resource, but on the bench on probation
What is strength with the feeling of hibernation?
They've ruled on us like Mubarak to his nation
After much struggles and militancy
We got our Obama on this Democracy
Resource control that's what we're wanting
Fuel subsidy? Oh! That's just nothing
As long as it betters our people
And put us on top like pigeon and eagle
You need my sequel, Boko Haram is really evil
You can't islamize this country are y'all sickos
