Song Title: Take The First Step
Genre: Pop
Chorus
Take the first step (2ce)
And see what comes out of it (3ce)
Verse 1
They say ‘the journey of a thousand mile begins with a step’
Yea, taking a step could be very herculean
Fear of failure would suffice as the rationale
However, taking the risk is worth it
Afterall, failing forward is better than not stepping out
The journey of success begins with taking the first step
So, take the giant stride
Take the first step!
Chorus
Take the first step (2ce)
And see what comes out of it (2ce)
Verse 2
Discouragement is a part of success
Success is a journey, not a terminus
Determination without conception is like reaching a destination without intention
Consistency is inevitably important
Life is what you make of it
Walk your talk to see your worth
You learn those only if you take the first step
Now, take the first step!
Chorus
Take the first step (2ce)
And see what comes out of it (3ce)
Verse 3
The first step in life is uneasy;
It’s like you taking the bull by the horn
It’s similar to how tasking it would be putting the crown on your head
The first step is a lesson that would give room for further learning;
It’s like getting past the hurdles of life
It’s similar to taking away life’s road blocks
The first step marks the road to your freedom
A great feat it would be when you take the first step!
Chorus
Take the first step (2ce)
And see what comes out of it (3ce)

Sand of Time (4ce)
Verse 1
As I examined what’s happening around me,
I’m left with no choice than to re-evaluate my thinking
Oh yea, Oh Yea (4ce)
The truth staring angrily at me
Staggering situations my eyes can’t bear
Excruciations my heart has endured
Frustrations becoming a part of me
My cold treatments to people around me
The failure that I’ve become
The losses I’ve encountered
My hopes being dashed
I began to ask to ask myself:
Would you leave those vices in the

Verse 3
The world is witnessing catastrophes
Oh yea Oh yea (4ce)
People dying
Diseases and starvation abounding
Rights denied with no justice

Leaders clueless about the future
But through my music,
Sharing the optimism of hope
Illuminating humanity rightly
Seeing the right to posterity

Sands of Time (4ce)
Song Title: Made in heaven
Genre: R N B
Verse 1
On a Friday night,
as I got the club,
I met this damsel
She was too real to be true
She was so fresh n green
That I couldn’t help grin
Her sexy face
Made me to dance
As I looked through her body,
I knew she was worthy
As I danced towards her,
I saaaaaaawwwww….that she was:
Chorus
Made in heaven
Made in Heaven (yea)
Made in Heaven
Verse 2
I told her ‘’you’re my meat that I want to eat’’
She smiled and said, ‘’You’re got some wits’’
‘’Alright’’ as I smiled passionately
I also said to her, ‘’though I’m meeting first time, you make comfortable’’
‘’Are you sure? How could this be possible?’’
I went on to say ‘’I simply want to know you better. My name is Peter.’’
‘’hmmm Peter!’’ She exclaimed, giving me a warm shoulder
‘’I’m for real…’’ those were assuring words
‘’I see your will’’ her words replied me with
I heralded, ‘’You were…
Chorus
Made in heaven
Made in Heaven (yea)
Made in Heaven’’
Verse 3
I asked her, ‘’what’s your name, damsel?’’
‘’Cristabel’’ she replied, looking seductively
Right there at the club,
I got a drink for both of us
We drank to the point we couldn’t drink no more
We got so high
We started talking dirty
And the rest became history
One thing led to the other
We were unclothed, holding each other
The morning bright
I looked at the body I admired
And I said to myself: ‘’This is…
Chorus
Made in heaven
Made in Heaven (yea)
Made in Heaven’’
Song Title: See Life In Your Own Way
Genre: HIP-Hop
Chorus
I see life my own way
Never disturbed by what happens
But dictates what goes on around me
Lalala (3CE)
Verse 1
Started out in consonance with the elements of the earth
I'm at the summit, peeps!
Punching hard in all-weather like the Mayweather
The fire of my wordings so serious that my flows run faster than one seriously pressed from the inside.
Dominating the world from the fourth dimension
I'm bullet-proof from the deceptions of cynics
Politically immune from all ulterior motives of the elite
Economically free from pseudo statics and extrapolations
Financially more hydro-plane than Wall Street
Yeah, y'all can say what you like
Afterall, you entitled to your views
Check it; My words carry the waters of neutrality
But highly inflammable when y'all come with the fires of opposition
They carry the gas of subtle influence that the earth can only recognize them at the fifth dimension... Catch me if you can like the Ginger Red Man
'Coz I’m super-human teleporting in all realms interchangeably like the speed of light, my words hit your sub-conscious magnet at a pace it can't even imagine...
Chorus
I see life my own way
Never disturbed by what happens
But dictates what goes on around me
Lalala (3CE)
Verse 2
Deceptions try permeating my subconscious like a virus
Ugly events want to make me dance circus
I chose to see myself as the citrus
Growing in the fields of Peace
Never caught by the weeds of disease
I’m hooked with my creativity through my ability
To express my service to humanity
I see life my own way
Decided not to be in social disarray
Because it doesn’t matter the name
Whose distraction is giving him the fame
For I know that’s his game
Chorus
I see life my own way
Never disturbed by what happens
But dictates what goes on around me
Lalala (3CE)
Verse 3
I’m all out for the money
But not down with the honeys
Because they are actually monkeys
Pretending to be like honeys
I’m ahead of my time like time
That’s why you don’t see me all the time
That’s the way I chose to see life
My Own Way
So see life in your own way!
Chorus
I see life my own way
Never disturbed by what happens
But dictates what goes on around me
Lalala (3CE)

Title: Where am I headed
Genre: Pop (Spoken word)
Verse 1
I was lost in myself; I hardly could figure out why
But when I tried asking ‘’why?’’
It became very blurry the answer
Could it be what I thought I knew
Or what is happening around me?
I looked at the completeness of my world
Only to realize how vague it has become
My perception , I thought, would guide me
But the contradiction, compared to what I’m encountering, is something else
Am I just becoming ignorant or in a conundrum?
Then, I’d say, ‘’time would tell’’
However, time, I realized, was my foe
So, I have to really figure out where am I headed?
Verse 2
Come to think of it, I was educated
Educated?! Okay, I was taught in school what’s right from what’s wrong
On second thought, recognizing the anomalies in my life and the world as a whole
I’m observing that everything is so wrong that what’s left isn’t right!
What I was taught was ‘’the good’’ seem to be the bad
And vice-versa
Can this really be?
Hmmm…Trying to think through
But wait, can provide an answer to what I don’t know?
Well, perhaps, the wrong answer!
To the issue at hand, did I learn the right thing?
Can I change the situation around me?
I believed in the world of possibility
But my perception is fighting against what is around me!
Oh yea! Something isn’t right
So, It’s time I looked at the mirror and ask
Where am I headed?
Verse 3
Can anything worth learning ever be taught?
A question I was forced to ask myself
I have to re-evaluate what my thoughts are about everything
A friend really challenged when she asked
‘’what if all you knew about everything and what you are being told and taught about everything were all false, what you goinna do?’’
Till this day, i have no concrete answer
Yet, I’m poised to challenge myself and move in this light
‘’How?’’ I asked, looking to the heavens for answers
After lengthy years of thinking and asking people questions,
I came to the realization:
Unlearn the inconsistent to relearn what ought to be ingrained in mindset of my formative years for a proper learning
That, I knew, would help me change what I encountered
‘’Afterall, a change in my thought-process, better yet, my perception, would change my circumstances, my world, that is.’’, I thought. ‘’And make the world at large a better place’’
‘’How do you want to go about it?’’ someone asked me, as I talked to him about my situation
It’s going to be a long path to illumination
Then, I would know where I am headed
Rap Song
Hell on Earth
(Perception of Reality)
Waking up from sleep
Still in the ill state of slumbering
Anticipating bliss but sunk in pain
Wondering 'why wake up?'
Another day of working out
To become the real biggie
But being forced to do the smalls
Subconsciously waking up to breaking up
Happiness kept at bay
As if joy is kept at arms length
Seeking inspiration to glide against the tempest
Only to realize this is hell on earth
The living projection from hell
The world being lived in
So twisted that what's left in it ain't right
Hell on Earth
Chorus
Hell on earth
