The City of Lagos

People Hustling for MONEY
Like bee that want to produce HONEY...

Lagos city is not FUNNY
but some people are CUNNY

No one want to go ASTRAY
Like the poor hawking on a TRAY

Everyone Hunting for POSSESION
In this period of RECESSION

Everyone seems so BUSY
Like the area of Mushin that's so LOUSY

Lagos city looks like a JUNGLE
And its only met for people who want to STRUGGLE

A City of unbelievable RICHES
Full of trees and tusks, fruits and FISHES

Garnishing the earth with surplus FOOD
Blessed by God with gracious GOOD....
