There is no need for temples, no need for complica

I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by, Always to look myself straight in the eye. I don't want to stand with the setting sun, And hate myself for things I have done. I don't want to keep on a closet shelf A lot of secrets about myself, And fool myself, as I come and go, Into thinking that nobody else will know The kind of a man I really am; I don't want to dress up myself in shame. I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all women's respect; But here in the struggle for fame and pelf I want to be able to like myself I don't want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and bluff, an empty show. I can never hide myself from me; I see what others may never see. I know what others may never know, I never can fool myself, and so, Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. i was born'n'bred in LAGOS, to me lagos is a place of love and enjoyment but he who says his father's farm is the largest needs to see another man's father's farm.
