The truth has kept me ostracized
Caused me consistent cries
Cause my world
Is now what they call the 'Jet age'
Where family ties get thinner
Where water becomes thicker than blood
Where the survival of the fittest is the order of the day
Where a tree makes its own jungle
Where a man is now an island
Where people are judged by their looks,color,status and where they come from
I heard that
'Iwa rèrè léso eniyan'
'Asò nla kó lèyan nla'
All that does not apply here in my world
'Omoluabi'
The essential of good living
Attainable only by the level of wealth not minding the sources
Life in my world
A rat race
