Be Great Again

Be Great Again Oh, my fatherland The envy of the West The owner of great farmlands The honey comb The sugarcane plantation The liquid treasure Where is your greatness? The groundnut pyramid Do you still harvest cocoa? You've got just enough Enough to make greatness again Enough gifts and resources Enough of slave trade Enough of ethnicity Enough of religious bigotry And of corrupt leaders too Who fly about in costly jets And of citizens without focus Enough is enough Oh, my fatherland Enough of clueless youths Enough of slaps in the NASS And of fight on protocols Enough of killings and blackouts Oh, my fatherland Stop being a begger And be great again
