He reads in minutes;
You read in hours.
He misses lot of classes;
You attend all classes.
Yet, he passes more than you,
'Cause it's your nature.
You read in hours.
He misses lot of classes;
You attend all classes.
Yet, he passes more than you,
'Cause it's your nature.
He crawls like a scorpion,
You run faster than cheetah,
Moving toward same location,
But you're the last to reach destination,
'Cause it's your nature.
He's good in Linguistics,
You're good in Mathematics,
He copies and he passes;
You take his role, you fail,
Just 'cos it's your own nature.
He contest with APGA and he wins,
You contest with PDP and lose
He vies unware; he's victorious,
With all your campaigns; you're defeated,
Because It's your nature.
He nibbles on soya beans' cake and swallows ‘eba’;
Often, you eat shawarma and pizza.
He appears handsome as Ronaldo,
And you're ugly like Godfrey Baguma,
Just 'cause it's your own nature.
He's dormant during classes;
You're an active member of the class.
Yet, he came out with flying colour,
While you're proudly carrying over exams,
Simply because it's your nature.
You work for twenty-four hours;
Seven-to-seven, he works.
Frequent and frequent, he gets promoted;
You aren't even remember for once,
Just 'cos it's your nature.
Not that you aren't great;
But in these, he's better.
In something else, you might be the best.
We're all born with different sceneries,
All you need is to discover yourself.
