We're so sad Nigeria But we're living the Nigerian Dream... Go home for the holidays Gotta show everyone we've made it We are so stuck in our ways Don't even know the difference between love and hatred Oh but the kids are messed up... so messed up Let's just pretend that they're not stressed 'Cause "Nigerians don't get depressed" Gotta keep the appearance up "Hush! The neighbors might hear us".. We're so sad But we're living the Nigerian dream We've been had But we look so happy or so it seems With hypocritical smiles Fake fake laughs We've reached the all time low... We're so sad - But we're living the Nigerian Dream... Don't we look so happy with our fake smiles? Don't we look so pretty in the lies we've told? Pretending everything is alright But inside we're cold Don't we look so happy with our fake smiles? Don't we look so pretty in the lies we've told? Pretending everything is alright But inside we're cold... From this Nigerian Dream, I hope we wake up... Song " by Efe Oraka safe for them Nigerian Dream"
