DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY

Like it's all on you,

And nothing's working, no matter what you do,
Stand up, shake it off, shout it loud and snappy:
Don't worry, be happy!
Late night readings, stress,
Deadlines tight, sleep-deprived, 
Up half the night?
You’ve got no time for yourself?
Make your comeback snappy:
Don't worry, be happy.
You’ve got nothing but just a cup of garri?
Add some groundnut or sugar if need, maybe.
And with pride and joy,
Drink till you’re super,
Don’t worry, be happy still. 
When your plans fall through, one by one,
And all your light feels come and gone,
And your friends,
They seem silent. 
Leaving you feel all alone. 
Shake that off;
Don't worry, be happy!
So throw on that playlist,
Wear that baggy,
Text that friend, .
Grab the moment. 
You’ve still got this. 
Make it snappy;
Don't worry, be happy!
It’s okay to fall, it’s okay to cry,
But after the tears, 
Laugh it loud,
And it all out,
And even louder, shout it out:
Don't worry girl, be happy!
When the world feels heavy,
