The Battle Will of Ashes

Return my ashes home,but first take me to my father's compound where my bravery was formed. For this is it,I was born for this papa,Isn't this ashes of mine beautiful mama? Let every one know I am back home again sister,and brother fight no bullies in my sake no more Take me down the street in mama's finest pot,and to the town's square where I use to fight and play, Ricky is my friend,why don't you let him have some ashes?Let him show it to the downtown gang I am still around Paint the town in my ashes and tell my girl Bisi not to wash it with her tears. You can blow me into the air as well,but warn the breeze of life never to take me out of the land again. Kazeem Musa olawale.
