Army and the Ammo

Sam madeyin 1991 (Ogun States)



Army, shabby, Army, an alliens and obscure of the nation
Yet the most wanted, tugged,rugged, flagged people for wartime
Deliverer, We your saviour When you behold a crime

We fought you a Goliath and the uncircumcised goons
We hailed and hearty for your cheers
We turned and lowdown the fables of your seers
We toss yet in green like a seabirds
We excells strength as unicorn of nature
We bath yet shameless outside
Nakednes to us au naturel
We aimed at shooting foes to gain you a peaceful laurel

Can't kill who was subtleity to death
Already engaged in crucifixion deeds
War sharpened us this cruelly way no blood we bleeds
Egoisms and coercievness the lingo we taught of sandy schools
play by no rules, stance away from dance the pools
We habitant of don't know a leisure
The fight is our life watchword
It tooks a brainchild to uses our motherland drumsticks
The colony of Dust licks
Tom tom tom tom! we saunters the battlecry,
And your late fathers named us illmanners
Gurgishly sound from among the Northerner a pry
High and higher we raised the warring banners

From the far zones carnadine hailed
Where the amalek and his counsel failed
There's stubbourn by proof Ahithophel came.
 All to abort a futile proof
