Banky W - Talk And Do Lyrics
Intro
Mastaa
Verse 1
Can't you hear our children crying?
Why doesn't it break your heart
Can't you see our people dying?
When did this world get so dark?
We're not perfect but we're trying
We all need to play a part
'Cause thing will never change
Always stay the same
Until we do something about it
Talk and do, we need to
Just stop talking about it
We must talk and do
Why don't you do something
Verse 2
Yo!
This is not a song, it's a statement
About a state of a very lost generation
How can we let our little boys become rapists?
And how can we let all of our love just turn to hatred?
In the State we see cases of racism
White cops kill us 'cause we have black faces
And in Africa, I don't know where to begin
The same kind of murder, the same color of skin
And we don't care to use our platforms to make a difference
We prefer to drag each other on Twitter so we can trend (Kaii)
We filter all our Instagram pictures just to pretend like we're happy
True happiness only comes from within
Verse 3
I don't watch the news 'cause it's all bad
Different days, same hashtags
Different names, different victims, same flashbacks
It don't concern you
May your children never also have to say #MeToo (Amen!)
They ask me why I'm so consumed with community service
It's cause my community is hurting
My community is dirty, no one bats an eyelid
'Cause everyone thinks it's someone else's problem to fix (Why?)
And everyone prefers not to dive into politics
So why are we upset that the system is so full of shit?
The nation that we need is our responsibility
The country we wanna see, it starts with you and me
Chorus 1
Do something about it
Talk and do, we need to
Just stop talking about it
We must talk and do
Why don't you do something about it
Talk and do, we need to
Just stop talking about it
We must talk and do
Why don't you do something
Bridge
Where is the love?
Where is the patience?
Urhobo, Igbo, Idoma
What is the difference?
E don dey too much
Talking, looting and violence
Repeating the same thing
If you check am na madness
We need a solution
Time for some action
Too much talku talku
Committee no dey function
The answer we dey find
E dey inside me and you (Okay)
Now it's time for all of us to talk and do yea
(Come on!)
Chorus 2
Talking no dey change anything
This is our time for action (Yes)
Talking no dey solve anything
(Timi Dakolo)
Do something
(Let's go)
Say talking no dey change anything
This is our time for action
Talking no dey solve anything (This place na home)
Do something (This place na home oo)
Talking no dey change anything (No place like home oo)
This is our time for action (We no go fit blame the leaders of yesterday)
Talking no dey solve anything
Do something
Talking no dey change anything
This is our time for action
Talking no dey solve anything
Do something
Post-Chorus
Waje let's Go
Ehh ehhh
This na our country ye ehn
Talking no dey solve anything, do something (No, no, no)
Make a difference ehn yea
Make a difference, action!
Do something, yea!
Talking no dey change anything
This is our time for action
(Waje, give dem!)
Talking no dey solve anything
Do something, yea!
Talking no dey change anything
This is our time for action
Talking no dey solve anything
Do something
Ladies and Gentleman, do something about it!
Outro: Seun Kuti
Do something
Do something oo
