The less than four-minute song sees the rapper expressing his dissatisfaction with several socio-economic problems, including corruption that have stifled Nigeria’s development since her independence.

He noted that it is unfortunate that Nigerians have continued to “struggle” in their own country, with their leaders failing to provide the needed leadership essential for meaningful change to take root in the country.

“Are we really a country or a see of greedy people? We so divided, the east and the west never see eye-to-eye, the north holding unto power. No love, no trust, all I really is lust,” he was heard saying in one of the verses of the song.
