Nigerian Grin

 
Big grin, I need a Da Vinci on this avatar
Smiles, worth eating like bananas
You can't take away joy from a Nigerian.
The more you cheat him, the more his lips go moon

Wakes up like the blossoms of flowers
Fresh like leaves blessed by morning dews
Rises with new hope like the sun above the horizon
No stale sad moment, he slept over 'em

Corruption from leaders biting hard
But a Nigerian's reflex is like he's got no feelings
Blood drops, still yet, he goes out fearless like a wolf.
Poverty the norm, happy moments still got his grip

Big grin, big smile in the midst of worries
I swear, a Nigerian grin will kill your sorrows
Just take a sip of his problems and you dead
The cool out there for a Nigerian will add a new grin word to the dictionary

Nigeria, happy people, Grin people
Smiles over worries, Grins over sorrows
