Nigeria Is Safe

Here they come banging in at night
With bag-full of punishment for us
With respect we deal for our safety
Sweaty earned possession are forcefully taken

Established for safety but against our safety
Threatening us with our taxed acquired arms
With rod that fires stray bullets often
Lack of management resulted to extortion on our roads

Got admitted for the purpose of learning
In the midst of untrained gunners with threats
Fracas between gunners often leads to innocent killing
Lack of membership earns threatening oppressions

Enforcement established for safety lacking adequate incitements
We wanted safety and left our safety without mobilisation
For sustenance our means of safety are sold to nightly users
For sustenance our learning safety are sold to untrained gunners
