Secondary School War

Intro

(Yuh, yuh) Naija secondary, hostel grind, ehn?

Ayy, 150 BPM, we no dey slow, oshey!

Verse

Wake up 5 AM, bell dey ring like alarm,

Matron shout "Fall out!", uniform no iron, abeg calm.

JSS3 to SS1, rivals dem dey plot,

House captain wan block my shine, say I no fit top.

Dorm fight last night, pillow war turn to blows,

Senior prefect catch me, 50 strokes for my back, ouch those.

Books pile high like WAEC mountain, brain dey fry,

Maths formula escape, physics law make me cry.

Rich kids with generators, me with lantern glow,

Feel small like ant for giant field, but I go grow.

Rivals laugh "Village boy, you no match our flex,"

Dem get iPhone sneak, I get Nokia trek.

Cafeteria garri swallow, dream of better plate,

But stress choke my neck, inferiority dey weight.

Enemies in class, copy my note then frame me cheat,

Teacher cane land hard, "Expel this boy!" dem repeat.

Yuh, but I sharp like blade, dodge dem plot, stay ahead,

Neck no break, I rise, bookworm turn to thread.

Chorus

Battling rivals, breakup blues, stress overload, yuh!

Inferiority whispering, "You no fit, reload!" (reload!)

But I go win, victorious end, oshey lord!

Secondary school war, I conquer board! (board! board!)

Win, win, win, win – victorious! (yuh!)

Win, win, win, win – no more minus! (ayy!)

From hostel pain to exam gain, we rise up!

Victorious king, Naija pride, fill my cup! (cup! cup!)

Verse

Girl say "I tire," breakup text for midnight hour,

"Senior boy get Benz, you just bike power."

Heart shatter like bottle wey fall for assembly ground,

Cry silent under mosquito net, no make sound.

Stress from mock exam, position 30 from 40,

Feel like loser crown, rivals mock "E don tey!"

Hostel bully push me shelf, book scatter floor,

Inferior complex eat me raw, beg for more.

Morning devotion hymn, I pray "God pick my side,"

Afternoon drill, sweat mix with tear I hide.

Rivals form gang, "Junta" call dem self, wan oppress,

But I form alliance with brainy guys, we progress.

Breakup scar heal slow, but I channel to study fire,

Night prep till 12, lantern fuel my desire.

Dem say "Poor boy dream big, e no go work,"

But I flip script, top score, make dem jerk.

Ayy, skrrt past doubt, pedal fast no brake,

Inferiority fade, victory cake I bake!

Chorus

Battling rivals, breakup blues, stress overload, yuh!

Inferiority whispering, "You no fit, reload!" (reload!)

But I go win, victorious end, oshey lord!

Secondary school war, I conquer board! (board! board!)

Win, win, win, win – victorious! (yuh!)

Win, win, win, win – no more minus! (ayy!)

From hostel pain to exam gain, we rise up!

Victorious king, Naija pride, fill my cup! (cup! cup!)

Verse

Final term heat, WAEC knock door like thunder,

Rivals panic now, dem wonder "How e take enter?"

Breakup ghost go
