We’ve Got Our Identity

Far away from home, lost in another man’s land
All in search for a treasure
And in the midst of my search
I became a victim of my fate, what a pity.

Mystery has overtaken me and regret has claimed lord over me
Wandering like a man from no man’s land
Comfort has become a treasure to the wanderer
And regret has become a favorite song.

I can’t take this no more, I’ve to retrace my steps
“ti ‘waju o ba se lo, eyin a se pada si”
Why settle for a lower class when the better is within reach
I deserve something better than this.

Home is home regardless.
Fellow countrymen, let’s go back to our fatherland
“I prefer to live as a king in the jungle than like a lion in the city”
Arise my people arise, arise and let’s go claim our territory.

Let’s make the labor of our heroes count
Enough of waiting for crumbs
Let’s go for something better
We aren’t slaves, why should we be treated as one.

Arise, o compatriot
Let’s claim our land of birth
Let’s uphold our flag of birth
And leave behind a lasting legacy.

This is our land
This is our territory
May our upcoming be proud about us
And our names rent their lips.

Oh, home sweet home I can say at last
With our banners raised and with songs of victory
Now we have our sovereignty, thanks to patriotism
At last we can say, “We’ve got our identity”.

I won’t give up

I won’t give up
Though my dream is yet to see the light
And my hope is being challenged
I won’t give up.

Even when all the light
Seem to be on strike
Just like the work force
I won’t give up.

This is not just for me
But for those who believe in me
And for the future I see
I won’t give up.

Though my way be rough
And the battle become more unfriendly
My gaze is yet on the crown
I won’t give up.

And I’ll say to myself, lift up your head
Look up to the sky
And fix your white balls on the crown
Shout to the heavens, I won’t give up.
