Bestowed with a cocoa land
Inherited from Papa but not cherished
The three of us
My elder brother in the Aso bamboo
My two brothers are the Senate and the Rep
The President had it all
Dictates and gives out what he wills
So bad that we called him Abacha
Then his brother came and disrupted it all
One kobo is no longer in existence
It’s a land for all not for some
Although you are in the office but it’s for me
Why pretend I don’t exist or not important
You took it all in our names and get worst day after day
How can a few have so much why so many have none
We sit down and dream
We lie down yet no Change
We hope and preach if they will yield
It’s always the same result after vote
Mere sermon won’t stop robbers
Only force can curb their acts
Now we are on our feet
We were preoccupied with honey in our mouths
Since the day she was born till date
Here comes the Messiah, will he save us
Mum, I am really not happy at your state
I want to save you but you put me in chains
I can’t have water in my mouth and speak
Yet you mean everything to me
Although my heart’s heavy, but still have to say it
Happy Birthday Nigeria
