From Frypan To Fire
From frypan to fire
Here we go again
Another tenor of suffering and smiling
Continues
If we are lucky it ends in 4years
If not we are up to another 8years
Of suffering again
Who has done this to us
That we no longer can stand firmly on one accord
Why must we keep repeating same mistakes
How can we grow with this same circle
Of leadership
The old president was a frying pan
Now with the new president
It seriously looks like we are now in fire
God save my country Nigeria
From frypan to fire
They keep devaluing my country
Just for their own benefits
Instead to heal the wounds
Or hear the cry's of their people
They choose to satisfy their foreign
Companies and friends
They prefer to makes their stranger business happy
At the cost of their people
And yet you still wonder why we suffer today
Is obvious to figure out why life is not easy for us
And worst now we jump
From frypan to fire
Dedicated to all Nigeria youth
Be strong out there
We got no other country
But this dying one now
Richard Nnoli
