A woman born not of a virgin
a woman born not of pure heart
a woman not born of mere men
a woman not born of neccesity
a woman not born of greed
a woman not born of hunger
a woman not born of anger

but she became pure soul
behind the high walls and secured fences,
behind the magnifier's lenses
her tension does not lessen
everyone born of her has a blessing
and to those adopted, mercy
and so her children became.....plenty

her name was derived from her features
strong, hot and flowy
powerful, rich and influential
merciful and merciless at the same time
and she does not suffer fööls
her children learnt the tools
and they grow up to be the best

a husband she never had
she has not use for them
her fame shadows that of her parents
and her wealth sustains them
she needs management
she needs worship
and she gets it always

Lagos is my mother
born not of a pure soul
corrupted she seems
and correctful she is
teaches you life
and explains it's absence
so when you leave, you know

it is the wealth of a nation
pride of a people
generation of inherent intelligence is her motive
and she fails not
she is the great city
Lasgidi the great one

Leaders come and go but her thought and lessons remain
her purity stands out differently
heads and shoulders above all else
20 million her children be
she is great
proud
The city of the Lagoon

The borders of the atlantic
The keeper of broad street
the owner of the The third mainland
and the wealthiest by far
gone are the days of laziness
she never condoled it.
Work hard and be rewarded, her goal she maintains.

Tribalism is far from her
and racist exists not.
A city so beautiful
and noisy
I can't help but miss her
even in this peaceful and quiet village
i miss her heat

A city of workers
a city so concern with work
we name her The city of hustlers
City of aquatic splendor
the city of sanity amist insanity
honor amist dishonor
life amist death

where all are welcome
and none is pushed away
my beloved home
and the house of my birth
miss you always
can't be kept from you.
Lagos
for you my hearts beats
