Текст песни
Oh, Mr. Nadison, wise man of the East
Yuh see di pain, di tears, di beast
South East Nigeria, land of our birth
Cryin' out loud, where is di worth?
South East a bleed, oh, what a shame
Kinsmen turn wicked, playin' a deadly game
Brother 'gainst brother, sister 'gainst kin
Kidnappin' for money, drownin' in sin
Insecurity rise, like a storm in di night
Killings and crimes, put di people in fright
Gunshots echo, innocence fall
Mothers weepin, can't answer di call
South East a bleed, oh, when will it stop?
Investors run away, dreams fall and drop
Innocent souls dyin, day after day
People pack and flee, no reason to stay
Oh, South East, why we hurtin' ourselves?
Blamin' outsiders, hidin' truth on di shelves
Jah Jah, bring peace, let di bloodshed cease
South East, oh, rise, let us live in peace
Hatred in di heart, tearin' us apart
Greed for di money, poison di heart
Kinsmen kidnappin' kinsmen, what a disgrace
Sellin' out love for a dollar's embrace
Villages empty, roads turn to fear
No one feels safe when di night draw near
Once vibrant land, now a shadow of pain
South East cryin, under sufferation's chain
South East a bleed, oh, when will it stop?
Investors run away, dreams fall and drop
Innocent souls dyin, day after day
People pack and flee, no reason to stay
Oh, South East, why we hurtin' ourselves?
Blamin' outsiders, hidin' truth on di shelves
Jah Jah, bring peace, let di bloodshed cease
South East, oh, rise, let us live in peace
Mr. Nadison speak, with a voice so clear"Stop di blame game, face di truth right here
We point at di world, say dem bring us down
But di wounds we carry come from our own town
Love must return, unity must grow
Plant seeds of peace, let di hatred go
South East, oh, stand, reclaim your light
Jah guide us through di darkness of night
South East a bleed, oh, when will it stop?
