“When I grew up in Nigeria, it was a very happy childhood. I don’t think every kid gets to experience what I experienced as a kid. I grew up in an international school, which means there were kids from all over the world. I was from Israel, there was a kid from Japan, two or three girls from Nigeria...
Take me back to Nigeria, 1999
Back then I was happier, sunshine on my mind
Sippin’ juice with Jessica
No playground politica
Take me back to Nigeria
No, I don’t wanna play
I’m so high on the swing
And I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
You can keep screaming my name all you want
I’m never gonna break, I’m not like
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty
When I’m on the swing, I come alive
I push my sneakers to the sky
And swing away the bad day
Boy, I wish that I could fly
And flick my jolly lollipop
Take me, take me away
Take me back to Nigeria, 1999
Back then I was happier, sunshine on my mind
Sippin’ juice with Jessica
No playground politica
Take me back to Nigeria
(Nad ned, nad ned, red aleh, aleh vered)
Take me back to the days
When I dey jump around and dance all over the place (yeh)
We no dey look Uche face
‘Cause we know say mummy and daddy gat us whatever the case (whatever, whatever the case)
No time for yama-yama
Lanre got me the juice
First kiss was jaga-jaga, still I thought it was cool
I still remember football ‘pon the road
Julius Aghahowa going for gold
When I’m on the swing, I come alive (aleh, aleh)
Push my sneakers to the sky
And swing away the bad day
Boy, I wish that I could fly (aleh, aleh)
Flick my jolly lollipop
Take me, take me away
Take me back to Nigeria, 1999
Back then I was happier, sunshine on my mind
Sippin’ juice with Jessica
No playground politica
Take me back to Nigeria
