On Cultism...



'Dodorima, Abankrier, Obuogede, Awumen,Omi'


Shout and chants that derails youths of their Concentration and goals in life.
Community brought us all together 
But secret societies;
The blacks,blues,yellows,reds,greens.
Each having their own evil agenda,
Killing the dreams of tomorrow 
Our tomorrow, their sad outcome.
They now cause pain, sorrow, hatred
And sour bitterness.
The elders laid these foundations
So we know
Same elders who laid waste, all hope on tomorrow,
Still hope for a divine change
A better tomorrow.

We had all wanted to grow up so fast
Three little boys, friends forever 
We'd promise,
Then college -

'The future these ones gleamed at a rush, 
I wan be bros so soon mehn
So i fit show all these em bros eh poblem.
Wahala and kakataka follow everywhere
They go now.
'the leaders of tomorrow'
Them just fall one guy for front jus now
Scores na 7 - 8, we go equal am soon believe.
Mothers cries and wails swell up to heaven mos 
For the street, that one na jam, them never see
Hearts harden, 
The devil trembles,
The earth swollen
Gods didn't do this, 
Man did.
The hate we gave to the little ones 
Came back to F everything up.
The faults in our own stars...
