Ife Love

I always thought I'd never get intoxicated,
But when I met you, things got complicated.
African queen you took away my every breath,
Caught me in the web of your romantic net;

"Awelewa" melanin slim and sexy,
Because of you I shunned all of them including Lexi
For I'm drunk having drank from your pot of wine,
Having fed fat with love like an overfed swine;

I never knew "Ife" could be this mysterious
For I set my eyes on you and got delirious.
"She must be a goddess of a kind", I thought
Like "Yeye Oshun" goddess with the purest clothe;

Now I'm yours and you're mine my chewing gum,
Cos when we're together our hearts beat like a talking drum.
Let's safari together, You and I in the plains of Serengeti,
And voyage on the beaches of "O ba je ti" ;

I always believed I couldn't get intoxicated,
But now I'm your captive cos things got complicated.
