Ijeawale

Ijeawale, the daughter of my youth Do you know the value laden in your name? Come close, let me tell you the truth So you don't have to be ashamed Anytime you hear the sweet sound of your name Nneoma, the ancient tree of wisdom You have been a sage, even from your tender age The Palmtree whose leaves never falls, even in autumn Here I am, seated for you to engage In this chitchat we have had, even from Adam Ijeawale, the Sunrise at dawn Why do you resist your heritage Let me give them all to you before I am gone This has fallen on your laps, you don't have to fudge Come, come closer, let me teach you how to enjoy this like a porridge Nneoma, you know I have a dream You know I have the ambition of gaining admission Yet you want me entangled in this meme Let's see how this comes to fruition Because I cannot jeopardise my future My dear, this is your future To offer libations to the goddess of our land To mediate between us and the spirits on this altar How do I tell you before you understand What a shame, your mind is on the Queensland It's true grannie, my mind is on higher things On science, fashion and not fable Now why do you want to click my wings? What you want is too hard, I won't be able I can't give up my dream for a fable Ijeawale, you have to make a choice Between yourself and your people Are you black and united or white alone, I need your voice This time, be firm don't be addle Nneoma, the great daughter of the sea I have chosen to be myself It's obvious, I hope you can see I can't live a life to please plenty people, let them please themselves
