Let's let the facts be being not folded
Let's make the facts known in truism hooded
And it's only in the light of that we shall not be
Living some few ones else's lives
It would be being productive by then, we not deceiving ourselves aye...
Old rags in power from the past
For the love of their pockets so they cast
They can forecast
They dream of our dreams
for we
Led us into lahar of confusion and seas of penury
They have hoodwinked us well as many as we be
They have given you youth 5 Naira only
To run their selfish dreams for 'em and you know it
You pretend you don't know it
So our parents be sufferer of decisions they didn't fashion
Our mothers in their aged still free us with their breasts in action
We've moreover come to school yet, to finish out of jobs option
So we struggle to finish to continue to starve n' thirst to survive
Let's revive
As young and agile as we be
Labour market lies there frowning -- not smiling see
First class hardly do it today you see
Even the worst Pass and connexion simply see
Pretend to go to school now
Act we have no government at all to cater for us now
O you dreamlessly thoughtless studious school children
I wept for you!
for I am minced up with gaga anger for you
I am tired for you for you you might end up suffering the same sicknesses
Your elders did
Yor霉b谩s say "Where the elders fall in deed
The youngs behind should avoid sowing the same seed"
Raise your hands, break up your scalps into threes
Deep your hands into the hollows, into the water and rinse
Change your mentality o you sons and daughters of Nigeria today's!
Your matriculation/graduation/NYSC caps be not the end of the race
It be the beginning:
So, run your race knowing well what you can create for yourself
You praying hoping only holy you deceiving yourself
Imagine with your head and not what's beneath yourself
Be creative
Innovative
Be wise
And you'll rise
Be there independent
Our government's incompetent
Use what you have learn
To survive fine to earn.
