Nneka Lucia Egbuna (born 24 December 1980) is a Nigerian hip hop/soul singer, songwriter and actress. She sings in both Igbo and English.
Music career
Since 2003, Nneka has been working closely with the hip hop beatmaker DJ Farhot, a producer living in Hamburg. As a young singer she first gained public attention in 2004 while performing as an opening act for dancehallreggae star Sean Paul at Hamburg Stadtpark. After much acclaim, Nneka was given a green light to record her first album.
After releasing her debut EPThe Uncomfortable Truth with the music label Yo Mama's Recording Company, she performed on her first tour with Patrice Bart-Williams in April 2005, playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
She finished recording her first album in the autumn of 2005. Entitled Victim of Truth, it was released not only in Germany but also in England, France, Netherlands, Nigeria and Japan. Garnering rave reviews from the media, the UK's Sunday Times later declared it “the year’s most criminally overlooked album”, comparing it favourably to 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'.

Lyrics:
You said you'd be there for me
In times of trouble when I need you and I'm down
And likewise you need friendship
It's from my side pure love but I see lately things have been changing
You have goals to achieve but the roads you take abroad and heartbeats
That wants you make another way
You throw stones, can you see that I am human?
I am breathing but you don't give a damn
Can you feel my heart is beating?
Can you see the pain you're causing?
Can you feel my heart is beating?
Can you see the pain you're causing?
Blood, blood, blood
Blood, blood, blood
Blood, blood, blood
Blood, blood, blood
Blood keeps rushing

LYRICS
E never teh wen i dey yan you this kind yan b4.
I know say o don come your presence just like this b4
And all i dey ask is for you to see and to hear me lord.
Cos recently been on my knees begging for peace oh god
Oh, divine your suns have been put astray.
Oh, jah humanity is drifting deep that way.
Cos recently been all a dey stripping my patterns away
And here i am honestly innocently seeking to lay
My spirit to your feet oh lord.
My soul oh lord into your hands oh lord, my mind ..into your mind oh lord innocently seeking to lay.
The Pharisees and the scribes in my mind tell me this is wrong
To come to you so often like i do they say it’s not strong, a child must grow up to stop drinking from the hands that feeds him
But lord how can i be myself when i am still child within
Oh lord i don tire to play the game the same shineke i don tire to dey feel the shame.
In the silence cos they told me i ain’t worthy of your love.
Put them to silence cos i now know i dont have to earn your love oh lord.
My spirit to your feet, my soul into your hands.
My mind into your mind.
Innocently seeking to lay.
