Ghetto King

Rough and rugged around the edges
And tempestuous in character
And just like Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano
Always ready to erupt on a whim
To Protect and provide is your intention
Thug style is how you know best
Charging forth like a three-horned Ram
A Bonnie and Clyde classic remake
Metaphorical juxtaposition of your past life
But am no ordinary concubine
A reincarnation of Queen Sheba
And just like a game of chess
The Queen protects her King
Like a lioness protects her pride
Frontliner to his ego and concealed emotions
Polishing up the hardened exterior
Bringing out the gentleman in him
Like the Sapeurs of Congo, he stands out
Street talk, a forgotten dialect
Eloquently and distinguished, he commands
A Ghetto King to an Iyonola Regal Transformation
