Boko Boys Blast Bomb
Boko boys blast bomb through town
till there was no job for a clown
even oga Ringim did not make survival
it was clear police was no real rival
Boko boys blast bomb as they vowed
as well as the Aso rock has allowed
they sent many policemen to early hell
well i guess that's as much as i can tell
Boko boys blast bomb without compromise
that to avoid Fashola's BRT was wise
they try too hard to tear us in parts
but only God would stop their hearts

I Fell Indeed
when i fell in love i fell indeed
held on to every monment for the joy
but where did you get this wicked seed
how did you learn to be this coy
this was not how i dreamt about you
why do you do the wicked things you do
everyday i treat you so cool and tender
gave you love and care like in a flood
but you took the message and hurt the sender
reap from his sweat and hunt his blood
that was not how it played in my dream
why do you always wanna make me scream

Make Me Cry
i'll never find words to sing this song
a song i wouldn't sing if you had stayed
i wonder how i could survive this long
to cope without you since you strayed
how did i ever allow you grow this power
to be the only one to make me cry
i always hold you here in my head
the look of you that held me thunderstruck
i'll never forget the tears i shed
for the pain you caused that filled a truck
i wish i never allowed you grow this power
to be the only one to make me cry

A Soft Ibo Girl
I swear she is not just in dreams
or in my wet fantasies.
Though my hope may flow more than streams
and my dreams can fill the seas.
She exists, she does for real.
She walks the streets in flesh and blood.
Her smile always a fine deal
from a clean heart so fine and broad.
How can I make you believe me?
That my dreams can grow two legs.
Drop the world and now follow me,
take my baskets for your eggs.
Twitter has her as a sweet girl,
I do as a soft Ibo girl.

Take Me Home
just like a sinner far from zion
i'm far away from where i can rest
i care how i can fight this lion
with spear of wood not even iron
a friend is lynched and a lover is gone
jungle is hard even after all i've done
my heart please take me home
every predator here has a rival
every prey has a thousand predators
with the tigers how do the dear get survival
after the fire how do the grass make revival
to live with vitality so lush and green
it's not a life none that i've ever seen
my heart please take me home

Wait In Vain
you're a lover of convenience
who took away my heart ala pirate
hope you return for better experince
cos i'm hurt but can't feel irate
please help me not to wait in vain
i'm sitting here wishing for that day
when you appear from the woods or sea
i wonder what to you i would ever say
if i'll ever see that day i foresee
i hope i won't have to wait in vain
i think i'm about to let go
of all the thoughts of you i kept
from days in scool to long ago
days we laughed and days we wept
it's so sad i had to wait in vain

A Place Quite Like This
the breeze is gentle it feels like heaven
the trees along the street the heighs are even
and dusts give way for dew well before it's seven
i've never seen anything quite like this
the glorious sun is swallowed opposite the east
when we called it a day both men and beast
for the needs of tommorrow we worried the least
i've never been to anywhere quite like this
here lies the blessings of nature's element
all the sunshine that enriches the farmament
truely no other place can boast of such endowment
i've never seen anyone quit to like this

To Live Again
if only myself can get to live again
cos i'm ashamed what this life amounts
no one alife finds it of any useful gain
now the dangers to take it away mounts
the beast for lunch the barbarian for fun
please can i get a chance to live again
curiuos my eyes searches on for answers
i bleed from grief the mother of all pain
weary i took steps that baffle dancers
it's fair life comes with own headaches
why do some people's come wit cancers
i need another life without heartaches
which on peaceful waters it would sail
even if it is at the speed of a snail

Say Goodbye
give me another chance another minute
for this hurt you caused to heal
give me hints to know if you mean it
i should know if it's what you feel
when you said you've had enough
i need to know when the tides recede
if that's what i would ever concede
let me know when it's time to say goodbye
it got better and better till that day
when the storm came and the wind blew
when i stopped getting that fat pay
the passion in your eyes and mind flew
then you said you've had enough
if love and romance counts no more
or the cost of them mounts some more
then i'd know it's time to say goodbye

Let's Build A Country
let's build a country that makes us proud
like a house tall and seen from only a sill
whose praise will be sang clear and loud
let our NASS work hard and sign a bill
that can fight very well all graft
just like it's often done on capitol hill
when there's no partisan witchcraft
let's fight those who maim and kill
militants armed robbers and terrorists
that's the silver bullet or perfect pill
to get investors and even tourists
we can make this work with our will
young man be empowred to be self employed
and young lady encouraged to use your skill
that soon we'll have what yankees enjoyed
let's make our land blessings count still
food we grow from the savanna we plough
to the evergreen rain forest we till
