Lyrics of his Nuke song 

Hundreds of years ago a planet of peaceful,
Years after that a planet of fearful,
Now the planet looks a place of battleful,
Every country looking at other with distrustful,
Why do we hate and become hateful,
A few countries are in the nuke full,
Others wish that the nuke full countries to become careful,
Let’s take an oath that we all march towards recreating a planet cheerful,
Let’s understand that building Nukes, reactors are those for a planet harmful,
Let’s unite and take the planet to a place joyful and colourful.
