Our Lords were White
But our fathers were bright
Our lands are green
But our children are lean

Those wells are full
But these throats are fooled
Thus, no rainbow across our skies

All we see is red, Blacks
And more gold & silver dyes

i hate Nigeria
because Nigeria loves me
my oil my sweat my blood

i love Nigerians
because Nigerians hate me
my holyholy my busybody my oversabi

Nigeria is a lie
Who will tell Nigerians the truth?

Nigerians dey burn
Na who go quench Nigeria?
