Steeze Without God Na Breeze

???STEEZE WITHOUT GOD NA ORDINARY BREEZE???

Steeze without God, na ordinary breeze,
Stay lazy o, no hustle, just chill as you please.
Street life dey hot, but heart dey freeze,
Your pride go fall flat, like leaves from the trees.

Boys wey dey flex, but no know the divine keys,
Chasing empty dreams like ghost wey coffin squeeze. K
Steeze without God fit loud, but the loudness na tease,
Life no bi chais, but Baba God fit put am for ease.  

Money fit dey one corner, but peace no dey,
Glamour for show, but pain go betray.
Dey front dey receive all the shine, but behind dey decay,
Na God be the illuminant wey fit show you way.  

Chase the steeze o, but remember the clarion call,
Without God, my friend, you go fall like felele ball.  
True greatness comes when we rise from the stall,
So...get steeze, but you gats get God make life stew evermore.

Omo... steeze without God na ordinary breeze,
Because na Him dey give us peace and increase.

Shoo To You

I gat lots of attitude
It’s not like you didn’t know
I will do as I please
Just so you know

What's it gatta do with you what I do?
Do I care what you do?
I am me and not you

I will strut and groove
And show anyone how I move
I play by my own rules
No matter how much you fume

It’s about me and not you
I will never live the life
You want me to
I can only do as I do

I think you should go away
You are only getting in my way
All I want to do is play
And party without you all day

I need you to know that
I’m best on my own
I wont let you have me
I will never give myself only to you

You needs to shoo
Go away 
Toodle doo
I don't gats no use for you

Leave me be why don't you
I will be staying far from you
You are not for me
And im not for you

It’s all over
So
BOO

4

going through the gats of irony
that aren't even gates at all
no barriers to block me
no body to foresake me
no tears or cries to slow me down
no landscapes to pause me
no transportation to push me
only the dull tread of my feet
to guide me along
on seemingly long paths
in time that never stands still.


Excel

He excels in English
He excels in Maths
I'm really surprised
He's not in GATS (Gifted And Talented Students)

He excels in Geography
He excels in History
How he does
It's such a mystery

He excels in Sport
He excels in tests
I guess I can say
He's the best

He talks in class
He cracks jokes
But he excels
So he must be blessed folk


Amazing...

We Need More We Need Less

we need less homicide
less genocide
less suicide
but more inside connects

we more checks
and less debt
we need to be more in depth
less inept
we need more safe sex
and less death

we need more intelligent cats
less niggas with gats
less crack infested habitats

we need more reason for living
less a kissing
less snitching
and less lives sentenced to prison

we need more ways to shine
than basketball,drugs,and rhymes

we need more opportunities
in our communities

we need less N.W.A
and more P.E
less rappers more M.Cs
less people trying to rhyme like me

we need less hate,envy.greed,and treason
we need less cocking back and busting off for no reason

we need less gunfights 
less shots that echo through the midnight
less tears drops, toe tags,autopsy,grave site

more black babies more family structure
less that just my baby daddy or mother

Life

Why is that us as black people
Can't live peacefully in the city of brotherly love
Why do we think it's cool for us to rap about
the burners and the gats 
Instead of realizing what's happening amongst us blacks
Why is it that we're told to live life to the fullest
But in reality we can't
In reality we can't handle life
We can't handle the 
Joys and sorrows that come with living
We can't handle the fact that
The people we love the most aren't going to be here forever
We can't handle the fact that the good really do die young
To young if you ask me
But I will tell you this one thing
We have a responsiblity 
To live this thing called life
As if the people we love the most
Were right here with us
And then maybe we can learn to understand
This simple thing known to us as
Life
