Not My Cup of Tea

If they like let petrol be one thousand naira at the station, It is not my business not at all I will still have my tea taken Every morning with Agege bread. If they like let them find not The hungry budget paper, It is not my business not at all I will still have my tea taken Every morning with Agege bread. If they like let them create million Jobs in the inland and the mainland, It is not my business not at all brother As far as they did not take my cup of tea I will still live and drink with Agege bread. If they like let them feed school children One square meal per day in their hungry State, sister, it is not my business to know I will still have my cup of tea sweet as breast milk Every morning with Agege bread to water down. If they like let them fight over the country, Let them embezzle all the money here leaving The poor with nothing to write home about, It is not my business anyway with them I will still have my beautiful tea taken daily. If they like let PMB travel all over the world It is not my business with them at all here, I will still make my tea in a brownish colour As far as my cup of tea is not taken from me I will be as happy as the puppy in my world. If they like let them find the Chibok girls in Sabimsa forest with Children, it is not my business to know at all I will still have my cup of tea taken Every morning with Agege bread. If they like let them repair the roads, If they like let them bring light to us, If they like let them stock all the money Abroad, It is not my business to question them I will still have my cup of tea taken daily. I will only react when my cup is taken; When my cup is taken from my mouth. So long they don't take my cup of tea From my savouring hungry mouth, I will be fine, let madness rule and ruine them all fool. (C) John Chizoba Vincent Voice Of Vincent 2016
