About
Naija need revolution to get it right and the time is now
Lyrics
🎵 *Title: "Oya Now" (Let’s Go Now)*
*Artist: AloyBeat ft. Naija Soul*
```🎶 Chorus:```
*All:*
Oya now, let's move, no dey sleep again
Baba don talk, but still no change again
Power don go, fuel price rise again
We fit do better — oya now, Nigeria!
*Female Vocalist:*
Mama wey de market de cry, papa driver de groan
Student sit at home, teacher stay alone
But we still strong, our hope not gone
Rise up together — oya now, Nigeria!
---
# 🎤 Verse 1 – AloyBeat:
*AloyBeat:*
From Lagos to Maiduguri, the story the same
Fuel queue long like highway to pain
Light no come since yesterday rain
And the generator also start to complain
You see, inflation don catch us small
A loaf of bread cost more than all
But still we dance, still we ball
Because our spirit never fall
Corruption run like old video call
They chop the money, leave us for scraps
While foreign cars roll, our buses collapse
We need action, not just campaign talks
Our youths are fire, if you give them tools
They build this nation, make it rule the schools
So let’s wake up, no more fake smiles
Time to fix Nigeria — oya now, let’s compile!
---
``` 🎤 Verse 2 – Naija Soul:```
*Naija Soul:*
From Abuja down to the Niger Delta flow
Oil rich, but poor people still row
Children born in hunger, dreams grow slow
While big men live where the lights glow
But still we sing, still we rise
With jollof rice and hopeful eyes
One voice, one land, we unify
The future is ours — let’s mobilize!
---
``` 🎶 Bridge:```
*Choir:*
No be silence again, no be fear again
We dey speak the truth, not disappear again
Change is calling — answer am now
Before the fire cool and the time pass out
---
🎶 Final Chorus:
*All:*
Oya now, let’s move, no dey sleep again
Baba don talk, but still no change again
Power don go, fuel price rise again
We fit do better — oya now, Nigeria!
*Female Vocalist:*
Mama de market de cry, papa driver de groan
Student sit at home, teacher stay alone
But we still de strong, our hope not gone
Rise up together — oya now, Nigeria!

🔊 Outro (Spoken Word / Whispered):
*AfroHeat (spoken):*
This is not protest... this is progress
We are the voice, we are the lesson
Nigeria, your time is now
Oya
Chanted Outro
*Group (call and response):*
Dem say tomorrow go betta (Go betta!)
But we dey hustle for every jetta (For jetta!)
E no easy, but we gather
Carry each other — no scatter!
*Female Vocalist:*
Raise your voice and lift your head
From small win, hope go spread
United we strong, na so we talk am
Naija forward — oya now, stand!
