Time can't be forever hard
Don't think too much young lad,

Improving on oneself isn't bad
Secure a future like its your guard,
Don't gamble it playing cards.

Dangote's of tomorrow are working
Hard now
Do same, so tomorrow you don't
Look at them as cash cows,

Never let hard times make you bow
Time to do yourself good is now.

I know you envy the rich,
Do your homework,
It isn't beyond your reach.

Life isn't smooth, she could hitch,
Avoid peer pressure or
Meet yourself in deep ditch
