Talk & Do Lyrics By Banky W feat. 2Baba, Timi Dakolo, Waje, Seun Kuti, Brookstone & The Lagos Community Gospel Choir

Mastaa!!!!

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

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

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

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

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!)

Talking no dey change anything
