I
You got to believe in the power of the Almighty
Because He did not put us on EARTH
To be abandoned
Therefore, when the going gets rough
As it may seem at times
Think of it as another obstacle
An obstacle named, *Charlie
Who pop up suddenly in your life
But if you believe that it too will become
A thing of the PAST
And a VERY bad experience
You should rejoice
Because it too will turn out
Like *Henri Konan Bedie or even worse.
II
So, you got to believe!
You got to believe!
In yourself and the contribution
You’ve made thus far
Which you considered meaningless
Because you fell it will amount to nothing
But believe it anyway!
It is bound to add up
To become part of our collective strengths
You got to believe!
You got to believe!
Because the power of the people
Is awesome and decisive
With the people’s awesome power
Even brute force, all their stolen wealth
Network of securities, and JUJU
Cannot prevent the people from
Gaining their RIGHTS
Once and for all.
III
Therefore, you got to believe
You got to believe that
Those fools and criminals
That committed all those crimes
Against our children, women and the elderly
Will not escape the wrath of God the Almighty
Because when He gets from behind you
The people who for so long have suffered abuse
Will have their day of judgment
Therefore, prevention you started in the 20th Century
You must continue in the 21st Century.
IV
So, don’t let up or let the thought enter your MIND
To throw in the towel
Because things are moving too slowly
You must remember that
As NIGHT follows DAY
So will GOOD triumph over EVIL
Therefore, do not give up HOPE!
Think of our plight
As an obstacle named, Charlie
who pop up suddenly, in your life
And if you believe that, it too, will become
A thing of the PAST, and a bad experience
Like Henri Konan Bedie
You will have all the reasons
In the world to be thankful.
V
So, don’t ever give up or quit
You got to believe in our collective strengths
Our collective strengths
You got to believe, in yourself
And in the PEOPLE…
You got to believe!
You got to believe!
In our collective strengths
Our collective strengths
Because God is on our side
Therefore, Chicken will surely
Come home to roost.
