PALMS UP TO THE TOP

Palms up to the top
Bowing heads to my last minute
All the pains I've done seen it
Killers saying they don't mean it
Palms up to the last minute
Raise my voice to the last digits
Ain't too big to pray
Even to my last day

Coming late and leaving early
I do my things quite fairly
Don't like to wake early
You'll see me on telly
Take my bread without jelly
Crack the shell, fry some eggies
In record time I fill my belly
With a smile I hail the girlies
All smiles, I hail the girlies

Been in a mood since last week
Was told to make a few tweaks
Wish I could call in sick
But I don't like being sick
But it makes me seek
If I'm right or wrong

Can take criticism on board
I felt like I was on course
I can't give up now, of course
But I'm counting the days over
Wish it could end sooner
Sort of a late bloomer
Maybe that's why I wake later
Few things get me up early
Football and sports at its very core
And with principled people to discuss

I'm counting the days over
My sister was kind
Try not to take it to heart
I make my choices 
And live my decisions
It's one thing that gives me great peace
That I have the power to
Live my future as envisioned

Not to say I'm right all the time
But I try to stay in character
Don't scratch the surface and think you know
Ask questions that you don't know
There's more to me that meets the eye
I'll just take a moment to say hi

I leave things sometimes half done
Sometimes because I can
I feel more satisfied now
Recommendations helped me improve
Finished in time, yea, I'm all done..

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet Like Chike I wan dey run to you Dem say life na suru But for you I be Eran Nuru I still smile when I think of you Revisit talks I had with you I dey bless God because of you Like which material he use make you?

THE ROAD IS NEVER ALONE

I Spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and watch, my child— The road is never alone! Listen, he said, the road is never alone! Your joy is yours, and so is sadness, Listen carefully, he said, my child— The road is never alone, And so you never walk alone! The path is lonely, and the lane is dark, Your mind is filled With a lot of things you can't track, Still, you never walk alone. Dark skies like a blacked-out picture, Blowing like garments without cincture, Tripping your feet chasing the future, Bad news that keeps the soul injured; At times, happiness becomes a decoy, Deflecting attention like a wind-up toy, But sadness remains behind the smile, Mind shattering like a broken tile… But I spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and wa...
