Peace but all I smell is gunpowder
Civility but all I see is calamity
Job creation but all I see is job loses
Revamping but all I see is reversing
My take home can’t take me home
Mottled wrinkled skin, melancholic faces
Shrinking waists expose bonny hips
The road gets longer bumpy rocky
How can I

Endless Burning rape kidnapping
Audacity of violent killing
Imperiled bleeding impoverished nation
A divided failed debtor nation
As they beat drums of war, woes
As unity eludes like a mirage
All I have left is a hopeless nation
Can’t go on with one Nigeria
How can I

Arise and take back your Nation
Kalashnikov laments AK47 invention
Buckled knees kneel to pray
Good shall triumph over evil
God shall make a way
The storm will soon be over
I see light at end of the tunnel
Because Nigeria is God’s own country
Yes we can
