Love

Many have called me
Many have even fallen
Only you have tripped

Nigeria

We salute you, O land of hope,

Country of hospitality;

Thy full gallant legions

Have restored thy dignity.

And seated henceforth in rediscovered dignity,

Love and honour partnered with humanity,

The people of Nigerias sing a victory hymn

To the glory of the work of liberation and emancipation.

Oh, Glory, we have held out our hand to you,

And we have resolved that Nigerias shall live -

So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness!

Be saved, be saved, be saved, be saved all the way.

Thou art the grave where our fathers sleep,

The garden that our ancestors have cultivated.

Oh Nigerians, seek the dizzy heights as a position in mankind.

Nigerias, Nigerias, Nigerias!

On these Islands we were born,

These Islands brought us up.

Lord bless our nation,

Stop wars and sufferings,

Save it, save our nation,

The nation of Nigerias — Nigerias.

Broken Heart

Sent from a heart that has been broken.

She’s a star if i ever seen one

They'll have to rename this one

Streaks are made to broken

Broken beyond repair,

And i ain't goin' well

Inequality promises

But most times darling the sequel sucks

Somethings broken, awoken, unspoken

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

He been waiting for his connection to come

My knee was cut open, heart was broken.

But i don't trust anybody, yeah no one

Reopened my notion of knowing im broken

But you been looking for love in all the wrong places

Thanks for achieving all the promises

Identity

IDENTITY

I am a Captain,
on my ship called destiny;
on an ocean called life.

I have been a pirate,
(those that steal.) 
forgive my use of words;
taps from others’ destiny.

While they are moved and pushed by storms.
Storms of different shapes and sizes,
earlier in my life, it was from dysentery and poverty.

They towered over me sometimes like a tycoon,
and some other times like plain gloom,
But otherwise, I got used to them except, 
poverty which I could control by tapping.

Now I am in the midst of my voyage,
with evils unknown, dangers which even my ancesting navigators;
fail to tell, show their ugly head.
If it was about just malaria, polio, even hunger;
I could find myself.
But in the storm of what they call Covid-19.
Never forgetting the hurricane called climate change.
I am assailed.
I no longer know what I am called.
I have lost count of the days.
I do not know whether an
elder captain will trust me,
with his offspring whom, 
I desperately need to succor.
I am lost.

Rather than help,
The effigies called parents,
tell me to feed for myself.
The storm was hitting them too hard,
even harder, 
and they were liable to die from this hurricane;
and get nearer to the destination.
I sighed,
as I fold my only coat around me;
in this cold heat.
I have lost my course
and only wish the destination called
death moves nearer.

May I Have Your Attention

May I have your attention please?
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To Lie (to Lie)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my Eye (come take my Eye)
We'll walk through Eternity together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm

Her Head are Rough, Tail Innocent, Mouth are lawful
There's food on her Coat already, OLder Brother's Amala
She's nervous, but on the surface she looks calm and ready to Lie,
But she keeps on forgetting what she wrote down,

And I am, Innocent fool
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, Innocent fool
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

You better Wake
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to Lie
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better Wake
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to Lie
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

So lets go back
Follow the star as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through Eternity
I once used to call home sweet home

Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the Eighteen now

And when I'm gone, just Lie, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my Rough Head
Just know that I'm looking down on you crashing
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just Wake

And when she's gone, just Lie, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of her Innocent Tail
Just know that she's looking down on you singing
And her didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just Wake in your Coat.
