Don’t cry for me Nigerian
Don’t cry for me Nigerian
Cry for yourselves for with me gone
You are like child with on father
You are a house with no home @ 51
Don’t cry for me Nigerian
Don’t cry, cry for yourselves
You’ve poison my water and corrupt my land
And you will live to eat it fruit
Don’t cry for me Nigerian
Cry for yourselves @ age 51
You’ve graduate from common thieves to terrorist
From poverty to wretchedness
From the peace you had to disunity
Don’t cry for me Nigeria
Since everybody is now fighting for its own
Then I don’t deserved to stay alive with you
I rather die!

Sad Me
My life has become a stage in my own eyes
Don’t even know which is true any more
Nothing is pure any more
And the pure ones are too false to be real
My life is turning to a station platform
Can’t think can't feel can’t jump can’t stay
And am getting too slow for my age
Yet I can’t run ahead my time
This my life a sad one
It's said don’t trust friends
Families will betray you
And the ones you care about so much
Will always leave you empty and speechless
Yet trusting myself prove more difficult
This my sad life
Sobbing for my lost yet can't gain the ones I've won
This my sad life ah!
The miserable thing is
I have to live it just ones and it for the sorrowful me
Sad me ah! Sad me

My Friends And My Problem
Where i came from
There is this saying
In time of pain
You will know your friend
But in my time of pain
Few stay
Many ran away even love ones
And those one that call themselves best
My problem have turn me into a man overnight
My friends have shape my trust overnight
I have lost some that i hold dear to my heart
And i've gain some that i don't care about what a way!
Some had stay to mock me
Some even do just because it normal
Some stayed to turn likeness into love
Cause they want more

Home is where our bed is
We can fight all we want
You may even call me names
Telling me how much you hate me
But home is where our bed is
Home is where you forgive me
Home is where i let go of all the pain
Home is where we come to
When we show all our love
You can tell me how stupid i was
I can even show you all my anger
I can vent thru you
And you will feel like walking away
But home is where our bed is
And our bed we most come to
There i will tell you how sorry i was
And there you will forgive without no holding back

This New Shamful Nigeria
I remember 14 to 17 years ago
When i was giving 18 naira to buy fuel
The pump will sell accurate amount with its litter fitting the litter of the keg
But now if you are not that smart you will pay for the same litters with nothing or little
inside your tank or get
Yes this is our new Nigeria let's embrace it
Do you remember those weekends then
When party will be every where and people will eat and still pack home
And on it next monday on our way to school you will see food waste mounted up as hill on the road side
Please do anyone still see such?
And we were told our land is full with milk and honey
But it a pity not all of us got access to that honey
Heal our land oh lord
Heal it from this flu that is spreading rapidly
Heal our land oh lord cause this disease is spreading fast
And it killing our young ones
Sending the stars of this land to the land beyond
