PATRIOTISM


I am a patriot
I spoke louder
Like a patriot, not a parrot

Here seems harder to us
Colonial heights locked us at base
Nigeria to patriots, A cross
Patriots carry till we're late

Ask my compatriots
We feather around jails
we're companions in all plus thoughts
We will never regret our onions

Not now, not ever

shall we love there than here
Here is ours forever
There? Never!

I am patriotic to my land
Join the patriotic stand
Warning before joining this band
Patriots are tilling here bare hand!
