What Ah Nation
what ah nation
how can we continue
how can we grow
how can we survive
this evil brutalities
how come we keep fighting
how long will it take us
how much have we lost
how much more are we ready
to lose
how come we now live
in a jungle
how sudden our change
suddenly has turn us
to mere commodities
what a world
what a country
what ah nation
what ah nation
some blame the rich
some blame the poor
some blame religion
some blame politics
some blame racism
some blame tribalism
some blame evil
some blame privilege abuse
some blame ideology
some blame even God
cos confusion is so much
upon our land
calamities are normal
on our every blood day light
our country are not in safe hand
it is obviously obvious
our leaders are also in
confusion
right in front of our eyes
they fight each other
how come suddenly
we live in a jungle
what a world
what a country
what ah nation
what ah nation
we are the future
of tomorrow
from my childhood
I was promise this future
till now this future
remains so so far
till today is still on promise
but never a reality oh
what ah nation
a nation so rich
a nation so wealthy
a nation so fruitful
a nation so creative
a nation of nature
a nation of music
a nation of peace
a symbol of greatness
the giant of Africa
as they call us
now what is the reality
do we deserve this shames
how come suddenly this nation
is suddenly a jungle
despites the blames
despite the fights
we are yet to weak up
no wonder suddenly
we live in a jungle
what a world
what a country
what ah nation
what ah nation
the only nation
I call my home
the only nation
we should behold
and uphold on to
tear are common
on the eyes
of a bleeding eye
cos the heart despise
the terror we trample on
each noon
the soul fear the wild
horror at night
all cos our beloved
nation is burning in confusion
the one we trust
has turned their back
on their own
our life's are easy to slaughter
our dreams are dark nowadays
cos we now suddenly live
In a jungle right in Nigeria
what a world
what a country
what ah nation
