like d old sayin goes d only thang constant in lyfe is change
if i woke @ 48 wit no dreams n food on d table amma blow my brains
damn it my country is 48 im a hungry artist n no lable shuld i blow my brains
nah i still celebrate cos life is hope tho we smilin n laughin livin in pains
our fathers must b proud to see we stayin afloats tryna make a difference
situation is harsh in d system wit empty promises from d gov d things we witness
but i still bring dat old fela tape out n smoke wit my hommies knowin its an ARMY ARRANGEMENT
so no matter wat i dont get as sorry as femi kuti still wishin y'll HAPPY INDEPENCE,

chillin in mi class mi teacher talkin bout patriotism to me n my young friends
mi a stuff mi ears wit mi ear plugs fela bumpin like teacher dont teach me nonsense
its been everythin but change for d better still we loosin more lives in d middle belt
i only kno fiends no government officials i can tell d hardship in d country aint even felt
cos dey dont come thru my neighbourhood so dey shocks dont get bad wen dey drive
givin phoney speeches bout phoney plans of change dey roll in tints blinded to our strive

Damn! I'm late, still oct. 1st for me tho. Here goes:

Yeah yeah, independence day yet the people ain't free
I asked a friend today "ain't u happy ur country is independent?"
He answered "hell no" cuz he ain't seen any change.
Yeah, I could relate with that, independent yet poor hungry kids on the so called joyous day. Independence my fucking ass!
These kind@ days just make me reminisce, 4th of july? Another issue which isn't really my concern.
It ain't like I forgot the date, Shaz, it just ain't worth it
There's more to this than "our government is corrupt", maybe one day, things will get better when those "people" do the right thing
This ain't no freestyle, ain't gon bother rhyming.
