Free, the young sings
Freedom, the man craves
Free, the heart of all struggles
Freedom, the man craves
...
Ask me not
What matters to me
Because, nothing matters
Think of every matter
...
One major thing that we need
Available only to the wise
It is lost in the lead
...
Are you here or there?
Just thank Him
Was there food or the table or not
...
The land was heavy
With no goodies within the eyes
Run now with every flight
Away to the land that is light
...
Clean within the clan
Cursed within the community
Caressed by the fools
Castigated by the wise
...
I will never forget
The pain
I mean the joy
Wrapped with happiness
...
I dey hear this noise everyday
Corrupt! Corrupt! ! Corruption! ! !
Everywhere I go
Na corrupt man, See am
...
The game was on
The room was agog
Two are fighting for supremacy
Then light gave way
...
Set, I set my eyes
To the end filled with light
Last time I did that
I was disengaged from reality
...
I saw it afar of
Looking with eyes of surprise
Expecting the unexpected
“Cos its the first attempt
...
I just woke up with burdens
Weights that my soul abhorred
Nothing was meaningful to me again
Bogged down with many things

Death O Death
Death O Death
You took my friend away
Suddenly
Without no notice
You are liar
Death O Death
Death O Death
You took away His dreams
Speedily
Without any other
You are liar
Death O Death
You are liar
You know quite well
That he was about to blossom
Untimely
You struck
You are liar
Death O Death
Death O Death
You have done your worst
What else could you do
He is dead, yes!
But he will rise again
You are liar
Death O Death
