IT'S NOT WORTH IT

It's not worth it living a life of lies

Man can become better if he tries

Work harder and believe in the wills in his heart

Gratitude’s only makes you special for a while

Weeds flourishes but destroyed at its peak of life

It’s no use pretending to be someone you can't have

The best person in the world is in you, but you have to let him outside

He is much hurt inside than you think you are

He doesn't deserve what you're putting him through

God didn't make mistake when he created you

Stop trying to please the world, live your dreams in full

Someone out there appreciates you for who you are

Everyone got something to offer for the world to be complete

I just found mine in you; i wish you can feel the same way I do

Please stop living a false life, embrace the person you are today

For you are all you've got, a star that light up the sky at night

You don't need a miracle; it’s already born in you

I REMEMBER

I remember as a child chasing after my dreams

I remember how excited it get each morning

Walking down the corridor to my classroom at kindergarten

I remember the fun of playing on the field and chasing bees 

I remember mom's special Sunday dinner and the joy of holding my bible to church

I remember the time I used to fly kites over the roof

Mom was always running out of threads, I was always running out of line

I remember my first ride on a bicycle and the bruises on my ankle

I remember watching snails crawl underneath potatoes planted in my garden

I remember my first day in high school, the urge to want to explore the world

I remember how shy I was asking a girl out on a first date

I remember broken moms precious plates and the beaten I got afterwards

I remember life and the choices I made

How I have become a grown man with responsibilities and care

I remember the colors of the moon, stars and the beauty of sun flowers

I remember you, for been a part of my life today

I remember God and thanked Him for helping me get to where I am this day

WE ARE NIGERIANS

We are Nigerians, we are Africans

We are born with a warriors pride

We are the greatest black nation in the world

Blessed and willed in the spirit of our ancestors

We are forged with a heart that doesn't withered but love

We are resilience and can withstand the adversity of the world

Diverse in mother tongues but oneness in spirit

The rain water our lands, the sun blessed our harvest

Wield in our mothers glory and destined to change the world

Our cultures and traditions we wear in our hearts with joy

There is a virtue and bond that runs in a Nigerian heart

Nigerian daughters are beautiful and cuddled by the hands of the gods

The Nigerian sky is filled with pastures cultivated by our forefathers

Underneath dwells different tribes which runs through the river banks

And tribes by the hills and mountains overflowing the northern boundaries

We are Nigerians, sons and daughters of a divine God

I am proud to be a Nigerian
