WHO ARE YOU?


This is the question one person
Has been asked one time or the other
What’s your pedigree they say
Fame is not for few
They differentiate the people
Who drink tea to people who soak garri

You can’t seat there they say
It is well deserved because is reserved
And name has been carved
Is for celebrity not for nonentity
Who’s got no ability or financial stability
Who cannot afford utility so bounce you liability

Who are you they say
When it time for admission
They say who are you
I say sir that question is unnecessary
I hit the examination I deserve this institution

Who are you
Do you know the chancellor?
Are you friends with the governor?
Do you dine with the senator?
Is your father the administrator?
Are you related with the chancellor?
Tell me do you no the monitor
Do you have enough money tell me

Who are you?
Do I have to be a jagaban to listen to a band
Do I have to wear Versace to eat suace
Do I have to wear gold trinket to take picture on red carpet
Do I have to be guided by corps to visit Transcop
Do I have to have iphone to seat in the front roll
Why can’t you see me for me

While does my world be determine
By the money in account or the casher in my account
Or the words in my mouth 
Or the selfies on Facebook which most are not real
The followers on twitter don’t make me any better

They say go exercise franchise go cast your vote
On getting there I find out the vote 
Has already been decided was that me
When I laugh they said while e dey laugh
When I take they say whose taken

When I write 
They say who is written
They don’t want to know 
What I have to say
All what they just want to know 
Sha hustle don pay

Whether e take tea or I take pab
At the end of the day na the same hot water
Even sure bet is not so sure after all
One commits a crime and is name ring a bell
And they say bail him

Another commits a crime but
He is not in the hall of fame they jail him
Cell, hell criminal you are curse son of hate
That man must pay for this
Or the criminal is the one 
Without money in the high places

When I speak at a turn
They say who the hell do you think you are
Well I’ll tell who the heaven think I am
Am the voice of the one 
Crying in our nation hosanna
Am the beginning of a new era

The end of injustice and the beginning of power
A skyscraper of peace am a trail blazer of unity
Am young, am vibrant am strong am intelligent
Am a million microchips definitely for peace
Have got the energy you lack and courage back to back
Am a story to be told and a wonder to behold

Am more than conqueror 
Greater than the governance
Am from the deity of divinity 
From the tribe of lines
No chains and boundaries
Am a time bomb waiting to explode

Am history waiting to happen
Am like a current of an ocean 
You cannot stop my flow
One day surely we go blow
The street na by grace

Am the correction of your past mistakes
Am the activation of your future estate
Am the product of grace have got the length of days
Am the hope of this generation
Am the celebrity you see on television

Am a Christian 
Am a believer
Am a bold and daring Nigerian youth
