Like Tupac Like Mohbad
?•?LIKE TUPAC LIKE MOHBAD?•?
Pain persists; Mysterious exit.
Tupac & Mohbad's demise calls for justice.
Tupac reigns in death & we await his rise,
Mohbad's the first superstar buried twice.
Juxtapose their life & departures.
Death became their untimely captors.
1996, Tupac died, but Mohbad was born.
Pac's born-day is June & Mohbad also came on.
September claimed both Tupac & Mohbad.
Marlian records suddenly became contraband.
Tupac & Mohbad bids farewell age 27.
May their soul be received in heaven
Both shook the streets with credibility, even...
Pac's legendary folklore gaggles our throats much more.
And his songs give crazy vibes galore.
Mohbad's new worldwide status
births his fame & global applause.
Everything they said in their lyrics came to pass,
Songs and cry of justice are sang by their fans.
Mohbad said, "bami doju ti awon ti mo text ti won reply mi
(help me disgrace those I texted that didn’t reply me).
Tupac dons the robe of ghetto gospel,
preached street survival & street hustle.
Mohbad is a disguised street prophet,
his songs, the street & media can relate.
Tupac, in his lyrics, said, "Me against the world."
Mohbad's cry was ignored until he had no word.
Both saw death before it came around.
They raised alarm but death held them bound.
Their death knell was muted by our ears,
tho they sang & amplified their brave fears.
In tribute, radio stations open it door.
Tupac's bandana & "W" gesture became a symbol.
Mohbad said, "Ki okunkun yin parada toripe imole tin nbo."
That is, "Let all your darkness disappear
cos the LIGHT IS COMING & will appear."
It's happening cos Naija is shedding off darkness
to bring to light the mystery behind his demise.
Tupac claims he's Makavelli & Thug Angel.
Mohbad calls himself IMOLE, lighted Angel.
Hope there's a heaven for a THUG in flight?
IMOLE!IMOLE!! Let there be Light!!!
