A Soul In Different Figures

In pretence they came

They promised to pay your ransomThey lured you to their tentWith their mouth full of bitter honeyThey are lion in the heartIn physique they are sheepOn getting to their tentThey turned you to a canivoreAnd unto them, you are like a long time soreO men! Are you not created by one father?Are you not moulded with the same dust?Why then have you turned your blood to a stinking sore?Check your fingersAre they in the same arithmetical order?

Have you not been favoured by your heavenly father?Why then are you living like you are the source of your good fortune?O men! Remember, your father gave you one soulBut in different figuresYou are like coke and fantaDifferent in colour taste and nameBut from the same company they are producedTherefore, you have been joined by your heavenly fatherWith one soulBut you are different in figuresPrepare yourself for the dayThat your heavenly fatherWill ask you how you showYour love to your fellow menWhile on earth.

Aggro Times

See the aggro in my homeland

The heart of everybody has been haramed like a farmlandLove is no where to be foundEverybody is living a life of bondMoney has inflicted their heartThey have been terrorized by the passion of their heartThey are no more afraid of their brother's bloodNo where to look up for truthTheir love is scattered like a luteThe pulpit has become a strine of wealthMessanger of heaven has become messanger of wealthThose in power have been ebolarized by their vetoThey have forgotten those who live in the ghettoNo more hope for tomorrow

They are puttng the heart of their subject in sorrowSave us from our doomAnd bring us back the bloomLet the North call the EastLet the South call the WestLet all come together for loveBecause love is lifePreach peace for the yet unbornLet them not meet their home all goneBring back our HOPEAnd let us not be a DOPE.

Give Me The Grace

Give me the grace oh lord!

To work before youTo be your faithful servantTo stand before youAnd not as a pagan

Give me the grace oh lord!To follow you more and moreThe world is fallingGod I am callingFor your supporting hands

Never allow me to fall for devilUphold me oh lord

The world is turning downLet me keep my stand'Cos you're my lampstand

I believe in youMy shield and refugeYour grace oh lord!I seek in this worldTo work as your holy vessel.

Hard Times

The hard time is the hard moments

The time when there seems to be no helpThe time when there seems to be no hopeThe time when there seems to be an endThe time when man seems to loose the trendThe time when man needs to walk aloneThe time when man needs to strong the boneThe time when man needs to be of hopeThe time when life seems to be unkindThe time when man needs to keep the mindO men! Hard time is not an enemyTake it as your friend and familyThe hard time is not the end timeIt is the time when the sons of Adam

Are test of their obedienceThe time when the daughters of EveAre test of their commitmentIt is the time when the childrenOf Abraham are test of their faithThe time when man needs not to give upThe time when man needs to turnPerseverance into long sufferingThe time when man needs to trust not his strengthBut to depend on the strength of his heavenly fatherThe time when man is being prepared for successThe time when man knows if truly he is a manThe hard is a very livid timeIt is a time of fearBut a time man must nearNever give up in hard timeAlways look up to crown timeWhich is the crown of success.

Here Lies My Hope

Where the dark turns to light

Light turns to morningMorning turns to dayDay turns to duskDusk turns to eveningHere lies my hope

Where man loves to liveLive to be of good impactImpact of progress in lifeLife of every individualIndividuals in the societyHere lies my hope

Where yesterday preaches of todayToday shows the blessing of tomorrowTomorrow tells of the grace of the futureFuture showers me with the blessings of the pastMy heart will be filled with restHere lies my hope

Where the child becomes youngYoung becomes adultAdult becomes leadersLeading to the land of peacePeace in the heart of all menHere lies my hope

Where man tells his woman of his loveWhere love is in the heart of all beingsWhere man can sleep with all eyes closedWhere no man can be a threat to his fellow manWhere all house is built with no doorHere lies my hope.

You looked into my eyes

I looked into yours tooYou asked me why I lookedMy lady I asked you,If I tell you will that make you happy?If I tell you will it make you smile?If I tell you will I get an answer?Oh my lady! You are the treasureThat gives me pleasureBaby please be mineLet us wine and dineWhat on earth do you wantAll your needs are well securedIf your love will be the last

For me to have in lifeI am delighted to have you till the end of lifeJust you alone can make my joy to flowHaving you in my heart, will make my star to shineNow I've told you my love for youWhat do I get in reply?

Love With No Excuse

In beauty you beat the peacock

With dexterity you make my head rockYour love is cloth I must woreEven if it'll land me in warAll I care is I'm in loveMy heart is filled with your loveI looked around myself I have nothing to suff'Your love in my heartI've tried to get over your love on eart'But the more I try, the more I know your love has no excuseThe more I know I dare not refuseIt is not an option for me to loveBut a must for me to have you in my life

Love Love Love Love Love LoveLove Love Love Love Love LoveI love you without no endThe world may has its endMy love will keep the paceTill the end and end and end of another face'Cos my love for you will never loose the trend.

Pillar Of Hope

When the night refuses to bring the joy of the morning

I will keep my eyes on the pillar of hopeWhen the day cannot do without putting tears on my faceI will keep my eyes on the pillar of hopeWhen the heavens refuse to come down to my aidI will keep my eyes on the pillar of hopeWhen the thorns keep making me dance the dance of sorrowI will keep my eyes on the pillar that brings the hope of tomorrowWhen the world start singing their songs of no hopeI will not be overwhelmed by the power of sorrowMy heart may be filled with pain nowI have the hope that my soul will be comfortedBecause there is a pillar that I haveIt is called the pillar of hope.

Standing On The Podium

On the podium I stand

Ready to give my speech of loveListen to my humble requestMy request is about your loveThe love is about youThe you is about meThe me is about usThe us is about our futureThe future is about our hopeThe hope is about our childrenThe children are our happinessThe happiness will bring to us peaceThe peace will be caused by our unityOur unity will lead to our prosperity

Our prosperity will be till eternityWe will be one in allOne fold, one family we will beOur family will be the bestLove me and leave the restOh baby! Let me give you the best you need in life.

The African Spirit

The Africans are madeof black

But never made to lackWe are made of courageAnd can never be discourage'Africans are truly made of blackBut we are not living in darkThe African spiritIs a freedom spiritOur freedom's battleIs like a dukedom titleAfrican spirit never lives in fear'Cos it is always prepare'Africans are the EaglesThey soar and never whistle

I am proud to be and AfricanAfrica, a home of freemanThose who think we have no historyHave they forgotten the Euphrates' storyThe only origin of mankindOh Africa! You are one of a kindYou flow with milkAnd you crowned it with honeyThat the boarder-crossers are comingTo enjoy the special blessings of nature in youOh Africa! Land of peace and virtueI will remain loyal to you my father land.

The Heart

The heart is like the Euphrates

From it, streems joyFrom it, streems evilIt streems with patiencePatience is its worksWorks of its body show the thought of its mindNothing comes from it without impactBe it negative or positiveIt will surely has impactIt is the source of every good and evilEvil, man does without being mindfulMindful of what its action can causeNo man is void of the heartIt is present in all beings

It dictates how it's to be usedMy brothers! I tell youHeart is the source of every actionNo action without formationNo formation without preparationNo preparation without missionNo mission without visionHeart is the source of every actionHow do you use your heart?For good or for evil?Don't think the earth is the end of every actionAs no man can work without wagesSo also there is no action without repercusionUse your heart with cushion.

The Royal Law

Hello! Skirts and trousers of the world

You who are the image of the divineThe sixth day of the lordPrecious to the lord like morning wine

I've come to tell you about the lawThe progenitor of peaceDivinely recognised as royal lawThe law that cannot be cease'

Listen to the flow of the NileHow it flows with loveWith the rhythm of its unity in agileFlowing and flying like a dove

The mountain and the tree put their hands on deskLest they live both unrestUnity and love is their shriekThey know with peace they can bring the best

Let love be the foundation of your homePrepare your mind for the reward of your workLet everybody lives in bloomShout for love like a cock

We are all born to loveLet the world spread its featherAnd shout for love to liveAnd call everybody to come together

We are one bodyBecause we came from one originWe are meant to be like one countryStop the lust and let the love begin.

My God and my loveYou're the only source of my hopeThis world is temptingLet me stand till the endMy hope remains in youOh lord! My God I'm thirsty for your love

Quench my thirst with your healling bloodAnd fill me with your holy spirit.

Your Love Is My Light

Do not let me go

Do not leave me aloneGirl you're my lightCome and make my life brightWhen it's time to smileGirl I'll smile with youWhen in time of joyGirl I'll share with youThere are times to cryGirl I'll cry with youYou're my flesh and my boneI dear not leave you aloneEven time may comeWhen there may be a despair

Do not worry my love'Cos I go no whereIf you look around youI'm right beside youIt's only you I loveBaby your love is my lightYou'll be forever in my heart.
