We fled into roar
As the electric light awaken
Old,young and kids
As if our bondage has just broken
The street got busy
With the celebrants of this artificial sun
Hither thither we run
To engage this visitor, for, its our turn
So loud and perfect was the chorus
As if we just had rehersal
From time to age
This chorus has used our heart for its own dispersal
even, with much care
You will hear a day old baby whispering the chorus
Up Nepa ! Up Nepa !


Now, I found my self
In a total strange world
In the hospitality of the white people
Those who take negro culture
For joke and ripple
My description of them
Soon prove not to be wrong
When they grip and test my brain
Not quiet long
Because I roar our usual chorus
When a light bust alive.
Up Nepa, Up Nepa !




To my fellow Nigerians, from the ghetto.

Nice

anyone who hasn't exactly mouthed the phrase 'up nepa' is truly not a nigerian.

I doubt it..... I feel there are some area in Nigeria that are immune to this Choru.
