A land that flows with milk and honey,
Where it is always beautiful and sunny.
People here are interesting and funny,
The Life here is crazy; not for a dummy,
There is therefore no chance for slacking,
Because If you do, you will end up lacking.
In this crazy world you really have to be wise,
Else, in an hour, sharp guys will get you more than twice,
And of course you know that would not be nice.
You have to be really smart, or pay the price,
With tears dropping down from your eyes.
Unlike what they think, We are not all about fraud,
We just got that little extra smartness in the blood.
We can make everything a white man can make,
It's only unfortunate you might end up calling it fake.
But hey, to be honest... who cares?
We have been doing our thing for years.
Long before we ever had Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
We had been enjoying our Tasty Fried Chicken (TFC).
You call them bikes or motorcycles, we call them Okada,
And If you slack while driving, someone will yell "yo' fada"!
During Christmas, our kids don't care about carols and Santa,
Its gonna be fun as long as they have a Match-box and Banger.
The world rocks to Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and 2-Pac,
We party with Wizkid, Kokomaster D'banj and 2-Face.
We don't even understand Ice-Hockey and Baseball,
Just give us soccer and see; I mean the real football.
In most places you would rarely see traffic lights; hardly ever,
We use our special traffic police; we call them yellow fever.
Who needs those confused celebrities in Hollywood?
When we've got our very own stars in Nollywood.
Making the best of every situation from childhood,
That's how we roll in our hood.
A Tribute to my motherland...
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!
