Armed Robbers
From house to house they go
demanding for what does
not belong to them, here they
display the words presure and
terror on the victims, rat goes
for the legs if the fish not
avalible, That is what they
believe, some are force into
it why some born with it.
Chrsitians believe in bible
muslem believe in quran
but in the metal work they
believe, which there use ot invade
their victim, strong hearted and
rustless.The gentlemen say is a
dirty Occupation, While the people
from the other side believes that
it is just an profession.

Back To Our Root
We are going back to our
root to start from where
our ancestor stopped. We
have come to make the
motherland best amoung
it's counterparts, we are
back to our root i remember
many years ago we wonder
when we shall step our foot
in Africa? but right now it is
one hour different, inside
ship in the deep blue sea
full of lust to step our foot
on the land full of honey
and precious creatures.
We are back to Africa after
many years away from home.
there in far west been deny
our rights.

BLACK APRIL
It is time again for the
ridiculous month it's by
the door again, the mouth
that goes down in the black
man history as the most
horroable month.Whenever it
april i fear that history won't
repeat itself.What a month, i can
remember children running from
one pillar to the other, with
fear in their eyes.
Youth are participating in the
kill of our patriot, raping our
mothers, innocent blood flow like
stream that never dry.If i should
have my way i would in same month
with the instigators no where to
be found, the innocent pay for been
fool by the egotist leaders

Broken Heart
Drown in love, threw out with broken heart,
my soul cry, my heart hurts my eyes bleeds.
The past memorys fill my head and it hurts.
We have fly together for years but you forsake
me on our way up. I boost about what we have
among my peer, but since you left my lips
hardly move. One thing for sure the door will
always be open whenever you knock but this
time not with emotion. Fly and touch the sky
and my you wings never wreck, swin in the
ocean of love and may you ship never sink.
I will be back to my best, but this time taking
one step at a time.

Celebration Of Death
Laying breathless like a log
with the little white stone in my
mouth taking every record of those
who show their love, Let my love
ones touch my head to my toe.
Jamboree is the order of the day,
drink to your full, hips move with legs.
Lift me up, let my wood box be touch
by all, tears of joy is the other of the
day, guess why cos it is the celebration
of the death, star in death, paparazi
taking shots. As i go down let flowers
trees rejoice cos am bringing blessing.
Heaven is open as the celebration
continue, the fact is that i will be back
after the celebration of the death.

Dead
Sometime i see dead coming
toward me, i have been on my
heel all my life.Now i can see
it catching up with me.The only
mystery is how is going to happen,
i can picture tear and smile on
their faces.
If am gone pls don't clean my
name from the history book.
I have know pain all my life
been deserted.Mum tell my
beloved consin Cici (Cecila)
not to cry for me, i knew it was
not our plan i know we shall
meet again across the river
Jordan.

Definition Of Our Love.
Our love is hot as sunlight,
dim but smart as the moon
light, tiny but cute and erotic
as the stars but can be seen
all over the world, vast as the
sky, deep as the ocean, priceless
like my mother's soul.Untouchable
like my soul.This is the definition
of our love.

Destiny
Why siting down without
fighting for what is made
for you? You are made for
this battle, your mouth is

road here is the finish line
all that remain is a bit move
of you feet, it better be now
or never, don't just talk about
it fight for it.don't just look at
it take it, it your.

Doubt
The light became dark for night is here
again and i wonder how will it be in
heaven if there is one, will there be day
and night? will God judge us by our skin
colour? if so who will make it? the black
or white? the house the lamp of God
went to prepare how long will it take?
Are we going to pay house rent?
let just wait and see.

Genocide
Here i kill and won pride
among my people without
thinking of tomorrow.Killing
my people with my bare
hands make me feel am the
strongest man on earth not
knowing that the great potter
up there is greater than me.
Oh genocide.
how i wish am gone before
you genocide; been treated
like an outcast by my people
make thing worst.
been pursue in the dream
by some creature puting on
the garment of the angel not
having peace in the land of
living or in the dream.
Why oh genocide.

Haters
Look at them with hungry
written all over their faces,
waiting to feed on me.
Each step i take for them
is a taboo.When sleeping
there prayers is that i never
wake up, but they are not
God so am still breathin.
ha haa hatersss.
When am eating, like a lion
monitoring he prey they pray
that the food will choke me
to death. They are waitin to
tell the story of how i fall from
the top, ha ha haaa look at
me am till on top of my game,
ride like there is no tomorrow.
Don't be mad cos you are seein
my success like a tears drop,
hey is God doing.
haa haa hatersss.
These people did not want
me to shine, but look they are
not seein anything apart from
my light shining at their faces
like torch light. See am shining
without diamond imagine that.
Why mad at me? is it because
you can't get it the way i got it?
just pray that God give you
yours and stop hateing. Anybody
God made a king no one can
take the crown off him, so he
made me one.
haa haaa hatersss.

Marriage
It is oden by the creator, the elders
believe that the dance is not for
childern.Why the youth see it as a
test that must be fulfilled. It is a room
with no way out here love and fatihfulnees
is being rely on.Immediately the metal
work have enter the finger you are in, if
the flesh touch each other the door is close.

her lips melt my virility,
still it brings hope. The

bit faster than a moving
train.eyes of a goddess,
voice of an angel, her
beauty is legendry. You
know what? what? she is
my erotic girl.

My Moment Of Agony
I cry i cry but i cry to my
self cos nobody hear or
see my tears, is like am

up to talk to the creator but
i just can't see the sky, Is
it that am so guilty.happness

like a bullet through the heart
it hurts, Still i kept jealousy
aside, as i hope and pray that
this moment did not last till day

Mystery
As the wind blew away leaves
from the surface of earth
that is how my genaration will
be blow away one day,
i wonder if the great potter
will give me the privilage
of exchanging rings.
Will she be pretty as mona lisa
or ugry as my consin cici (cecilia) ?
Will i see my seeds and their seeds
simling at me maybe they would
not like me around.
Will I live this world in a natural
way or will my fellow creature
take my life? that is the mystery
i can't explain.when the time
comes will she put on the
traditional black and black?
will then have rivers on
cheaks or will they drink to their
full.Oh my treaure how will it
be spend? on the beatiful flowers?
this is the mystery that kick me
most, can i monitor it from
where going to i guess not. How
long will i be remmeber or will
i be a candle in the wind, i will wait
and see.

Never be peace
Why srceamin peace? if you can grante one then grante
one to Africa.if you can't then shut up, go home and sleep.
I just don't see peace coming untill these crook leaders stop
treatin us like fools, you better have it in mind that one
can't be a fool forever.You are nothing but an egoist.
You speadin our money on luxury when we are down
diein of hunger and you are talk about peace? stop
preachin peace cos they will never be one.You are livin
in a mansion, why i and my childern shares one room,
your children are eating meats why my are here hitin
their teeth on bones, you are ride the most expensive
car why am going by foot.
untill you give me my own lion share there will never be peace.
Time is runing out for you, cos soon i will be joinin the rebel across
the town hope you know what that means.The feelin of che guevara
that is what am giving to you, the feelin of Malcom x thats is what
am giving to you, The feelin of Tupac Shakur that is what am givin to you,
the feelin of Fela Kuti thats what am givin to you, cos am all about
revolution.If my pen and paper Kill me who cares, we all have to go
one day.

OBE OF MY TIME.
Here comes the obe of my
time, he comes with
seriousness all over his face.
Here he comes with his destiny
on his both hands.
Obe of my time, all his after is
his future, he believe that not
even the pretty flower of the
earth can take his destiny
away from him not even any
amount of cowries can make
him change his mind about
his future.
Obe of my time, he never raises
his hands on the childern of the
earth which make them love him
more than any creature, he comes
out once in full moon to play with
the childern of the earth.

Strenght Of Our Love
The first day i set my eyes
on you we bond same ship
we sail like there is no tomorrow,
In this ship we merry some time
tears drops, in the middle of
stroms and massive wind mixed
with lighting we hold on. Together
we fought the pirates, that shows
the strenght of our love. Great waves
but it just can't stop us.As the ships
around us are sinking our determination
keeps ours flowing.sailors and captains
praise the beauty of our ship and our
determination to reach our destination.

The Amazon
she goes around the world
showing how crafty she is with
her spear, At her feet lay mighty
men of valor. The sound of her feet
brings fear and harm.
The amazon she spare not even the
flys, who can withstand her fury?
who can stop her from kill her
prey? be surrounded by many
trees.
The amazon on her horse the
leaves bow before her, The
men sing the song of praise for
her utmost.
The amazon she is the victor of her
time.

The Cloud Is Pregnant
When the cloud is pregnant
we know what it give brith
to, Some cherish and celebrate
this brith, but others mourn this
Child. We know what it is, but we
did not know what it brings, It is
labour time we can feel her pain
as she express it through gaint
bomb blast, lighting and the wind
glorify this brith.Feel forsaken by
the sun, moon and the tiny sky fishes
some part of the world pay for this.
Some merry under this child why other
swim in it with agony. Just keep on
swimming untill you get to the dry land.
