Ye paa! ! hungry dey fire me
Like say dem carry electric wire me
My belle dey mama me
Head sef com dey hammer me
...

Trying to be 'the man', but couldn't bear to see her in pain
She looked into my eyes and reassured me it wouldn't be in vain
'Sorry...sorry' I repeat, but deep down I knew the message wasn't close to her brain.
She fought vigorously with the pain,
...

'Had fun'you say, when you kill your boredom
Even without your armour of condom
You sneak around sampling at random
I don't envy your wisdom
...

Lurking around in thin air
Hope, I caught with a stare
Dazzled enough that I couldn't share
The figment I know I shouldn't spare
...

Majority live in the hood
Some places are better called wood
People go days without food
A few mean hundreds control our livelihood
...

Your love make me feel so high,
That sometimes I feel I can fly.
It's all over me that I can't deny
And your cute smile I can't defy
...

When the cord is cut and the placenta separates,
what do you cry for?
When your lid splits open and the light shines,
what do you see?
...

When our heart desire is stolen
And it seems our heart has fallen
Time become frozen
Our eyes pop out swollen
...

They are like a goat
That have eaten too much of oat
Got it stuck in their throat
Then bloat
...

Like current keep electrons flowing
It also keep the ocean flowing
Hope is what keep us going
And money keep us rolling
...

It's a holy day
When we make time out of play
And without any delay
We go to mosque to pray
...

Shrouded in my blanket I remained still.
As the cold weather left my body as strong as steel.
It's no wonder weddings are held in December,
And more children are born in september.
...

It's bitter but we all must taste.
Posses the whole world and it would all be a waste.
But seek the hereafter and don't hesitate.
...

I don't understand, though I Know where I stand.
We lack moral to stand, yet we claim rebrand.
World powers threatened 'hands-off', if we don't give gay marriage a hand.
Countries where polygamy is a crime but prostitution can be legalised.
...

Drooling as my mouth was open agape.
Watching modesty being violated in rape.
And brandishing this sinful act in tape.
We live in a modern world we say,
...

Oh Ramadhan! A month full of wonders.
In its hunger I get to ponder.
It gives me an opportunity to look yonder.
And set my affairs in order.
...

Today we rejoice
the event of which was our choice
Now we carry ourselves with poise
coz we believe it is a new dawn
...

If our final destination is death

The riddle may be our stay on earth
...

As I sit in a corner of my room
taking a glimpse at my ring
I hear the wedding bell ring
...
