Hennzo - Oh Jah (Save My People) Lyrics

Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Oh jah, oh jah save my people

1966, In the North, is a sign of hatred
A pogrom took place and they killed my people
In the night, in the day, they killed my people
The ANTI-IGBO pogrom, is fresh in our heart
The ANTI-IGBO pogrom, we'll never forget
Cuz you spilled the blood of the blessed people
It was early October in 1967
When the Biafran war up and rising
They came to Asaba in Biafra land
They ransacked the places and gathered my people
They shot at my people, they killed all the men
Oh no
Armless civilians, armless people
They killed my people out of lies and deceit
ASABA Massacre, we'll always remember
ODI Massacre, we'll never forget
UGEP Massacre, we will always remember
UMUECHEM Massacre, we'll never forget
LEKKI Massacre, we'll always remember
ZAKI-BIAM Massacre, we'll never forget
OBIGBO Massacre, we'll always remember
ASABA Massacre is a hole in the heart
So therefore, we'll never forget
Wo yoo
They killed all the men, the wanna make us sonless
They killed all the men, tried to wipe us away
They sent down the army, to terrorize my people
They killed all the people, they killed our children
Wo yoo
They paid some people to tell them the secret
And they took the bribe and betrayed their fellow men
They preferred the bribe than to fight for their freedom
They stopped importation of food and medicine
They put my people into hunger and starvation
This is the wickedness of the government

Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Owoyo yo-yo Wo-yo
Oh jah, oh jah fight for my people
Oh jah, oh jah protect my people
Oh jah, oh jah defend my people
Ayaga ya-ga ya-yay
Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Oh jah, oh jah save my people

Back in January, 1967
There was an agreement in Ghana, "The Aburi Accord"
They came back home and things fall apart
He followed his people instead of the agreement
He went the other way and things fall apart
Cuz of the selfishness of the people from the other side
This is Nigeria, they always fall apart
They never come together to form one accord
Cuz we're different people, they forced us together
Tried all we could but we're never together
Biafrans arise, Biafrans arise
Biafra arise and ascend to your glory
They fought Biafra with the help of the Britains
They fought Biafra with the power of the Soviet Union
Now we see better, it'll never happen again
This generation will rise and defend their land
We see the strange people, the very strange people from Sahel, into Biafra land
They coming so fast to descend on my people
They coming for war, sponsored by the government
I call them the government of the dooms day

Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Owoyo yo-yo Wo-yo
Oh jah, oh jah fight for my people
Oh jah, oh jah protect my people
Oh jah, oh jah defend my people
Ayaga ya-ga ya-yay
Oh jah, oh jah save my people
Oh jah, oh jah save my people
