We All Have a Blame

We all have a blame 
Were are the youth of Africa 
Were are the youths of the world
Come up here gather together
This is the time to figure out 
Yes there is alot question with why 
I can say the answer with out you out there 
I remember that the last time I checked
That the elders still say we are 
The future leaders of tomorrow
Considering the numbers of leaders 
From the time past till now 
This adage sim to be no reality in Africa 
Quote me wrong Nigerian youths 
Cos numbers never lie 
Either does histories 
So I wonder are we still meant to be 
What we are today

We all have a blame 
Stop pointing fingers 
And start from yourself
You are not too old to wake up 
The time for slumber is old 
The young need to grow
So rise your flag of courage so high
And search for your survival
You cant find it in your comfort zone 
Either does it come by blames 
The age of creativity is now 
The era of zombies are gone 
African youth arise oh arise 
Arise for the sun is out 
The night is over 
We are in charge 
Yes we can 
Take no blames 
Take no excuses
And let's for once start 
A new world 

Tribute to my fellow
Nigerian youths
And to all responsible youth worldwide
