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
