Missing Coal City
Do you know what it means to miss Coal City
And miss it each night and day
I know I’m not wrong, this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer, I stay away
Missing the city With frank hugs
Lively villages with joys spreading across the plains
Oh the females with familiar faces
That compress my chest against their jugs
Miss them abacha, Ugba na Azu, the tall Pammy kegs
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Enugu
Hurryin' into the dry season
Roasted plantain mixed with Ugba na agbugbu
The home I feel at home with love in the cozy cove
Okpara square Saturday sports
Enugu is the addiction in my veins
Oh the moonlight on the udi hills
Afrobeat tune that fills the air
I dream about 042 in bloom
And I'm wishin' I was there
The yellow cabs and short buses
Red shuttles on black asphalt
The brown dust that gathers your feet
The joy of my city that knows no defeat
At home I don't try to survive
The shove don't push to an expected end
Away and the lost feeling to thrive
Blades don't cut at home to make a blend
Do you know what it means to miss coal city
Since that's where you left your heart
And there's something more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss Coal City
