Cameroonian-American singer Libianca is back with a song that’s more than just music – it’s a call to action. “God’s People” is a powerful anthem that tackles the ongoing struggles in Cameroon, particularly the Anglophone Crisis.
The song opens with a haunting melody and the repeated chant of “Ye ye ye,” setting the stage for Libianca’s passionate vocals. The lyrics are raw and unflinching, calling out the violence and suffering that has plagued the region. Lines like “Don’t we know selfishness will be the end of us” and “Shooting bullets at each other” paint a stark picture of the conflict.
Libianca doesn’t shy away from the resulting despair: “So we steal from the poor / And ravish in the blood of our people.” But amidst the darkness, there’s a flicker of hope. The chorus becomes a rallying cry: “Free God’s people / The power of your tongue / Is greater than any other / So say it / Free my people / Let them go / Let them go.”
The song shifts as Libianca reflects on the personal cost of the conflict. She sings of a “home that used to be so beautiful” now stained with the “blood of my family and my friends.” Grief turns to anger, but Libianca recognizes that “seeking revenge won’t solve the matter.”
The answer? Using her voice. “I use my voice to tell it to you / Stop stealing from the poor / And sitting in the blood of my people.” The song ends with a renewed call to action, urging listeners to join her in demanding freedom: “So join me now to shout it / Oh shout it / Free God’s people / Let them go / Let them go.”
“God’s People” is a powerful and moving song that shines a light on the human cost of conflict. Libianca’s voice soars with passion and conviction, urging listeners to stand together and demand change. This is more than just a song – it’s a movement. Listen below;
