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
