Dreams will come and go
But i remain right beside you.
I will be around you forever.
Let the world stop turning,
...
The westerners eat Amala and Ewedu
We eat Akpo and Ofe Nsala
They dance Juju and Apala
We dance bongo and atilogwu the beat of life.
...
To this brokeness of women, the world flopped and flipped out.
How life flawed and tampered the ice of the girlchild!
How green became red images to their eyes is still a misery to our flammable fable eyes:
of happiness gallopping towards sorrow,
...
No sweat no sweet
No sweat no sweet,
That is how the song goes.
Waking up all the lazy hands
...
When a man fall
Trouble begins.
A divided home is created.
Respect and honour hasten out of the door
...
