Needing To Know

 
I went to the market to by some stuffs, a shaky foundation would always crumble.


Would it matter in five years time?  If you do it, I do it, how would it be?


When you say you don't do, and you do, how do I feel?


When you say you laugh, I laugh, how do I feel?


I laugh, you laugh, but what's important.


You engage in frivolities, but do I care?


You think you're smart, but then again, who is smart?


Let us see how it goes, but then again, it goes.


Everlasting Father, who are we to judge us?


Sin is sin, no matter how we paint it.


Red, black, yellow, purple, orange, white, green.


They are still colours to define who you be.


When I look at you, I don't see deceit, I see meceit,


That's the name we call it these days.  'Cause we don't
call it by its real name.


Don't judge me, eeeeehhhhhh, so that you can live in sin.


Chai, ife nwa a bu ro kwa obele ife.


Let us judge in good faith, 'cause judge is judge.


I went to the market to buy some stuffs.............

My Baby Is Me

My baby.  My baby is here to think of me.  My baby is me.

Get A Life

Patience is the ability to move when no-one is watching.  


I have been humiliated.  I have been talked badly of.  


I have never seen anyone so patient like someone whose moving without complaining.  


I can be so patient.  I can think aloud.  I can make things happen.  


I can finish things without asking you to help me finish them off.  


I can do things you are doing in my own way; without asking for your support.  


I can be me.  I can be anybody else not.  I can do things.  I can do things.  I can do things. I can imagine.

Look At Me

I'm impossible

I choose my choices

I dictate my lifestyle

I make plans

I determine events and causes

I employ

I deploy

I fucking don't give a damn

I choose men

I choose women

I shut up when I need to

I suit up when I need to

I dress up when I need to

I get out when I want to

I suck up when I decide to

I keep faith

I keep joy

"I commot when road no dey good
I dey enjoy road; better road
I dey do tins when I dey do am
I dey like tins when I dey like dem
I dey do ooooooooo"
