DANCE
They being in the studio, cooking some beats
with a rhyme, beautifully crafted lyrics
Just like a poem, with my golden pen, I speak fact
Knowledge to be diluted with discernment
Discrimination was their best songs
Playing aloud on their minds just like a trumpet
Blurring the vision to deviate from that illusion.
ILLUSION? Yes illusion that's what they call dream
Like I've always said, what you are getting
Was what you gave, don't get it twisted
Love makes it worthwhile
What one can do very well
Many can do it very better
The sound of a African drum
We dance to, with all sounds very inspiring.
INSPIRING? Yes inspiring, excellently sounding
Sounds of unity, yelling for oneness
Do not let the things that doesn't
Matter bind you from reaching your ends
Sound it, them stole, gave it em beats
Failing to glorify thy source
SOURCE? Yes thy source, originally birthed
Idea for creativity and insights
Clear awareness for striving and thriving
Wealth comes to thy worthy, not by wishing
WISHING? Yes wishing for a reality
Beyond your potentials
You can only get, what you gave
Your craft is your energy
The aura to act
ENERGY? Yes energy to live in abundance
Not just to survive
Survival for mediocre
Mediocre? Only for the sheep
Afraid of; change, growth
Don't wanna leave
Comfort zone, stagnation
The destination
Sheep? Only the brave survive!
Always quick to cry, fearful
When attacked
But loyal to the commander
Dies for another man sin
Calls it brotherhood
Crazy things done
By the lazy
Ease
Race
BROTHERHOOD?
Endure yourself
To enjoy
Bragging about Temporary
Things that does not matter
Fighting demons, unaware
Some becomes the demon itself
Gateways for agendas
Manipulation, just to own
Control the mind
Without thinking for itself
BRAGGING?
Bragging of myths
What they can do to you
Rather than enlightening
How many lives, more
keep sending
Dense
Be aware
Like my people always says
Nigerians to be precise
Taking pills
For another man
Headache
If you don't work
You won't eat
How many you fit chop??
I love you
Doesn't mean
I should remain
Stagnant
Chop life, chop life
Before life chop you
The song to dance
DANCE! DANCE!! DANCE!!!
