Warri0rs!

I once read some where..  
"The sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence is viewed as deciding their faith in future existence..  
 
  
Pick of your pen take down a note  
War of words!  
Get this from me    
Right down for you    
Warriors!  
   
In the day  
It is when you feel haze  
In the night    
It is when I feel gaze  
 
 
In the night    
It is when I engage  
In the day    
It is when you relate  
Everyday!
 
   
Ninah Masaj I needah massage  
Hear me out, I'm ma needah healer  
There's a mirage in my niqab  
I needah mean lie for my fiancé..  
   
Hear me out there's a sound  
Forcing me out from inside a box  
Inside the box I saw my face  
What me be like, it was the day..  
   
Inside my mind I was detained  
With a bit of a luck I just escaped  
Warriors!  
Taking my chance I can debate  
Still I need me a time to make a case..  
   
A little recap fortnight ago  
Taking me out to walk a mile  
There's a life in my Utah  
Hullabaloo in my U-tah  
U-topia!..  
   
Until we match and match to Nile  
Hear me love you are alive  
Before I be late we need to set  
Dear My Lord am good to wait..  
   
You have a sea to navigate  
I have a heart to take attack  
Inside my mind I can recall  
I had these scenes a year ago..  
   
A Déjà to Vu I have a thought  
I mastermind in your demand  
Illuminate in chasing my ghost  
Dear My Lord give me a ride..  
   
I was into a comatose  
I tried to recall I am at lost  
I can't tell a tale of    
Every bit piece of life I ever had..  
   
   
   
In the day  
It is when you feel haze  
In the night    
It is when I feel gaze  
 
 
In the night    
It is when I engage  
In the day    
It is when you relate  
Everyday!
 
   
   
I have a nine give me a five  
Stitch in a time saves me a nine  
I have this pills for my relief  
I need me refill to make a relapse..  
   
Popped up my pills I got fuddled  
My pupils enlarged I overdosed  
Where am I?! Am in a daze  
What have I done? I may be late  
I am gone!..  
   
Hey you my doc give me a bed  
Am ma settle my bills I won't awake  
I will be gone till I engage  
Along with my ghost    
I will be fade..  
   
We gonna ride and ride along  
With all the mishaps it will entail  
I have a way to explore  
In this regard at your behest..  
   
Keep me alive and kid me alike  
Ironically we are alike  
Whenever I got tempted to pop  
I remember the time I was in chains..  
   
Gems master Jay I missed a beat  
Help me step a little bit me  
Java de Vu am Deja Vu  
I simulate and imitate  
Everyday!..  
   
Java's my world I got to go  
Hear me belove I know you hurt  
In the time you must relate  
Karma's a bitch!  
I will amend  
Afterlife!..  
   
Circle around your papers around  
What goes around will come around  
Read up your notes when the sun rises  
Applaud with a round and go to bed  
When night falls..

Mausoleums

Memories in mourning shrouds, severed ties  
touching lives, feather light leaving no mark  
 
Forever is forever sworn, sacred oaths  
born in deepest night always die in day’s light  
 
Do no harm, leave no trace of my passing  
Paths cross, merge in a heartbeat, separate  
 
Impossible to remember every bright moment  
your forgotten moments with me are final proof  
 
I don’t remember until I walk over the graves of us

Honeymoon in Idaho

Intro; Male Voice  
  
13 years! Quite a time..  
 Just engage me one more time..  
 Come on reply me one more time..  
   
 Male Voice..
   
 Let me tease you piss you and please you in my shadow..  
 Let me entertain you and freak you with my sound flow..  
 Let me know all my downside you know that I don't know..  
 With only you i can slide and glide in the dance floor..  
 With only you I can trek and even chat in a town hall..  
 Will you please walk with me up the fame hall?..  
 Can you atleast sit with me side by side silently like exam hall?..  
 Am always this strong and very firm like iroko..  
 But for you am down on my knees take a vow for you like a bow for an arrow..  
 Never mind all the rumours of the bitches in my Tahoe..  
It's been a while since you saw me trespassing in the parlour..  
 Sometimes I go mad and so wild like a psycho..  
 While at times am so high and dictate like a narco..  
   
 Hook; Male Voice  
   
 I wanna keep all your thoughts and smile even when in death row..
 Not the least surprise of the things going on in my mind now..  
 Am just shocked for the fact that I don't see you no more..  
 Running to and fro back and forth just like one on a very strong liquor..  
 Let's recall and recap and rewind the honeymoon in Idaho..  
 My mistakes I regret when I fell in a loop hole..  
   
 I hope you call me one last time..  
 I wish you reach me one more time..  
 Control my feelings.. help me out..  
 Am running crazy.. Am so down  
 Help me out..  
 Guide me and shield me and please don't abandon me My Lord..  
   
   
 Female Voice  
   
 Last night I saw you in a shop mall..  
 I almost run to hug you like there's nothing no more..  
 I just can't erase all the overwhelming rumours..  
 I demand that you stop stalking on me all day long..  
 I still feel and care for you hero..  
 But i need space and more time from you amigo..  
 Can you guide, comfort and safeguard me like commando?  
 Can you share me your time and all excuses no more?  
 Can you break in your strength just for me coz am so weak?  
 Can you dance with me when the rain falls?  
 Will you sit, chat and dine with me in a full moon..  
 Can I wake up with you by my side in the morning?  
 A challenge for you i guess you'll just tell me no no..  
   
 Hook; Female Voice  
 How are you doing all alone?  
 This is how I felt like back in time..  
   
 I hope you call me one last time..  
 I wish you reach me one more time..  
 Control my feelings.. help me out..  
 Am running crazy.. Am so down  
 Help me out..  
 Guide me and shield me and please don't abandon me My Lord..

Memories not my own

 
Walking backward through a story rune
From long unheard sounds playing soul
So forward thinking to spectrum in tune
Remember'd pain in a lookin' glass bowl

Talking sideways of the elevated rap told
Bringing a new understanding to the old

By spirit turning pages of scarred hearts
With old star crossed the road mistaken
As below to find ourselves not ourselves
But these final thoughts as but forsaken

i miss you mostly

i miss you mostly
in the morning
when i realize
i've still another day
to face without you

sometimes i miss you
in the late afternoon
when you'd call
and say we'll spend
the weekend together

and then i miss you
in the evening
when losing you
hurts the worst
and i go to sleep alone

i count the minutes

i count the minutes
as they tick by
one at a time
i am lonesome
for you, my darling
whose life is over
never will i gaze
into your eyes
nor see your smile
no, not again

how shall i go on
will my pain cease
my heart beats slowly
the hours seem long
you would want me
smiling as in life
remembering
all the good times
darling, you know
they were all good times
