TIMI DAKOLO: Great Nation

Timi Dakolo - Great Nation

VERSE 1

Here we stand as a people
With one song, with one voice
We’re a nation, undivided and poised
We will take our stand, and build our land
With faith to defend what is ours

VERSE 2

Here we are as a people
With one heart, for one cause
We’re determined to rebuild and restore
Where freedom reigns, and truth prevails
A land where there’s hope for us all
A land where there’s hope for us all

VERSE 3

We’re all we have, we’ll defend our land
We believe in this nation, and we know we’ll get there
We’re all we have, we’ll defend our land
We believe in Nigeria and the promise she holds
And that one day we’ll shine like the sun
We’re a great nation

SOMI: Four African Women

Somi - Four African Women

VERSE 1

My skin is black

My forehead long

My hair is wooly too

And my back is strong

Strong enough to carry on

After genocide and all my family gone

What do they call me?

My name is Gatsinzi

 

VERSE 2

My skin is pink

It used to be black

My mirrors and my magazines

Made me cry

Discarded western bleaching creams

Eat away at my skin and self-esteem

What do they call me?

Beauty queen

VERSE 1
Chinedu somebody borrow you ego
Make you take travel go chicago
Remember Nnamdi sell him car
So you go go America
All these people wey bin dey raise you

Hillary wey u been promise to marry
Still dey wait ol boy she don tarry
When she see u na inside Ovation
You marry Oyinbo from another nation
Use mago mago get dough
Now your Oyinbo wife don’t know

Wetin you know them don deport you

[CHORUS:]
