The Traditional Woman

She knows if she's loyal,
She becomes a royal

She knows if she's feminine,
She becomes the cherished Melanin

She knows if she's respectful,
She becomes truthful

She knows if she's faithful,
She becomes careful

She knows if she's chaste,
She becomes the taste

She knows if she's submissive,
She becomes attentive

She knows if she's homemaker,
She becomes the peacemaker

She knows if she's nurturing,
She becomes caring

She knows if she's all about her man's interest,
She becomes the passed test

She knows if she's traditional a woman
She becomes the very vital of her man

Tales Of Modern Women

Watch them go out of control...

How can you protect what's not in your control

Modern men can't afford to secure them on the basis of patrol

It's simpish to put them on your payroll

Can you, as a man, endure the excesses they would roll?


You wouldn't want to get to that toll

Even when they are in the imprisonment of their misdemeanor, they don't deserve parole

In the lives of men and society, one begins to wonder, "what's their role"?

The Tales Of Modern Women is on the relationship and Marriage poll!


They are traditional women!
They are the exceptions that don't make the rules!
They are few and far between!
They are different from modern women!
But if they are amongst them (which they aren't), they have to deal with it!

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)

The End





Song Title: Sands of Time

Genre: Reggae



Chorus

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

Sands of Time (4ce)



Verse 2

I expressed my dissatisfaction through my reggae music

Oh yea, Oh yea (4ce)

My left and right side brain made active

Feeling no pain but sweet sensation

Melodies pure and flowing

Sounds of courage being heard

Ray of hope arising

The healing power manifesting

The love that’s assuring

The brightness of freedom

Peace that’s bounding

Make me see the possibility of leaving the positive vibes in the

Sands of Time (4ce)

Verse 3

The world is witnessing catastrophes

Oh yea Oh yea (4ce)

People dying

Diseases and starvation abounding

Rights denied with no justice

Truths fast becoming myths

The yearning for materialism on the rise

Leaders clueless about the future

But through my music,

Sharing the optimism of hope

Illuminating humanity rightly

Seeing the right to posterity

Are what I will leave in the:

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: Move On

Genre:



Chorus

Move on (6CE)



Move on

Drive in

Get right here

Hit the Bull’s eye

Get on it

Don’t Give Up

Keep trying

Start moving

Study hard

Strive more

Be straight

Be Positive

See the result

Then Move On (6ce)

Be grateful

Expect problems

Fail forward

Don’t be afraid

Falter not

Keep to your words

Be hopeful

Don’t be discouraged

Refused to be depressed

Be patient

Keep the right friends

Then move on (6ce)



Verse 3

Keep learning

Study hard

Make sacrifices

Pay the price

Be attentive

Try new things

Be adventurous

Seek inspiration

Be creative

Stand out

Be yourself

Then Move on (6ce)







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

We Are Children!


We make the world go round

but we are taken to the ground

We make ourselves ready to be used

but we are abused!

We make the world a proud place

but we are pushed aside in many ways!

We make up the figure

but we are not shown the gesture!

We make forgiveness our priority

but we are faced with cruelty!

We make the truth our watch-word

but we are influenced by the Liar’s Rod!

We make the world one

but we are treated as none!

We make freedom play out itself

but we are stuck in the growing years of self!

We make ourselves happy at school

but we are not just cool!

We make our elders better brethren

but we are children!










II
The Growing Life of a Child


The moment she knows a ‘seed’ has been sown into her,



All hands would be put in place

So that the seed would have a face

Its care would be of great grace

Everyone involved-man and wife-would work hard

To ensure the seed is not shown the Red Card too early

She would begin to eat healthy food for it to grow well

She would have to endure the pains to avoid the wrong sell

She goes for regular Ante-natal care;

Given the right the medication;

told on what to eat and what not;

This would continue for a couple of months

Until she is due for delivery…

When it’s time,

The pain experienced in the Room of Labour ushers need the grown seed----the baby

Everyone connected to her is happy that the baby has come to stay

It cries aloud to stamp its presence

Tears of joy fill the whole place

as all present are on hand to carry the baby, turn by turn…

The baby’s growth in the world would take a count twenty four hours later…



From a-day-old to a Five-year-old child…

All baby wares are bought

Family members are in deep thought

Over the baby state

Friends and associates come visiting

Admiring the cute-looking baby

The baby begins to see the world days after

It begins to sense the mother’s smell

Her breast, voice and cuddle soon attracts him

He attaches himself to his mother than anyone else

His mother is his first companion

He smiles and cries to gain attention of all

He sucks her breast to quench the hunger thirst.

He sleeps under her arms

As the days go by,

he sees the need to leave his comfort zone.

From being cuddled all the time by his mother

he tries to crawl

Being closely watched by his loving mother,

He makes a fall

He hands and feet are stronger as he attempts the crawl

He soon finds the perfect position

He plays around on his own at times

His mother is there to cuddle him

If he hits his body against the floor

His food soon change;

From breast feeding comes some slightly hard foods

that he would have to start chewing

He cries out

Because his comfort zone of regular breast-feeding is about changing

After sometime, he is used to the diet change

Ten months later, he can not only crawl, walk,

he understand the language of his mother!

His world of fantasy gradually fades

as he faces the real world at age one

He is made to learn the ABC, 123 identities;

Set to go to school at age two

Prepared to go on simple errands by his mother at age three

Told what to do and what not by the same loving mother at ages three and four

His world changes when he is being scolded by his mother

for the things he did but was told they were wrong

He is no longer pampered

As he used to four years ago

His formative years of training and learning had just begun…



Ages six to Twelve…

He is expected to become the best student in school

and well-behaved at home

He is expected to read his books

And carry out assigned domestic chores in the house

He is expected to play with his friends during the day

to come home, read, ear, sleep and prepare for school the next day

His body changes as he grows older;

He is taller than he used to be

When he was seven

His loving mom still loves him

but a touch of discipline is followed.

As he moves on with his elementary education,

he works hard to pass his exams

to gain promotion to higher levels

This is followed up by his mom

and teachers at school.

He looks at his mates in school

and admires their lifestyle

He then takes it home

only for his mom to caution him

At ten, he feels the need to ask some questions

She answers his questions not seriously

but realizes one thing:

the growing life of her son will soon be over…

He prepares for his final exam

to leave the used-to elementary education

for another new one…the high school

At ages 11 and 12

He begins to experience what his mom had earlier realized:

“The passing Away of The Growing Life of a Child”



• “He’’ applies to both genders.













III
The Man; the over-grown boy


(I)

He is fully grown;

Maturity is his crown

He takes on responsibility;

Task carrying is his ability

He is independent;

Service rendering becomes the evident

He decides what he wants;

Situations make the counts

He contributes his quota to the family;

Ideas become what he disseminate actually

He is a leader;

Giving instruction become the feeder

He is living by the law;

Crime is not his character flaw

He is ambitious;

Goal setting defeats the ambiguity

He is a role model;

Others stare at that propel

He is generous;

Needs of people are enormous

He is a teacher;

The Student is the attention catcher

He is a faithful person;

His spouse is the reason

He is rich;

That has been his wish

He admits his wrong;

That makes him strong



But…



(II)

He is still an over-grown male child

His big skin still hides his puerile mind

He still loves to dream

His fantasies are the heights of realm

He still likes toys

His favourite cars are his Lorries

He still seeks for attention

His spouse would mention

He still frowns at competition from his contemporary

His thought feels this will not be temporary

He still wants to be cuddled His wife’s care is the revealed

He still dislikes not having his desires most of the time

His aim is intended not to be cut-off at his prime

He still wishes to be the boy child he was

His attitude seldom says the cause

He still remembers the sweet childhood years

His archived cloth section reveals the wears

He still leaves with the fragments of boyhood

His approach to situations tells the ‘little boy’ of his manhood

He still the man with the over-grown boy look

His living wish of being a child is in his subconscious hook.













IV
The woman; the grown girl


She has come of age!

Her beautiful curves reveals her appeal

She smiles;

Her face speaks of her aura

She has attractive hairdo

That draws men’s attention

She is the pride of her parents

Her character is her pride

She is in love with everyone

Her intelligence is admirable

She is the cynosure of all eyes

Her loving presence is felt by all

She is an experience to behold

Her readiness for greater aspirations lures men to her

She is married to the right man

Her home is built with beautiful children---sons and daughters



But…



She is still has the girlish mind

Her good childhood experiences she remembers

She still loves her Teddy Bear,

Even when she is happily married

Her make-overs is still her body consultant

She still makes use of the mirror

Her love for what her girl kids likes still lingers

She is still Dad’s Little Girl

Her admiration for fashion is still not changed

She still spends on things she doesn’t really need

She still craves for care; even after age seventy

She still wants the world to understand her, though she can’t really understand herself

She still takes good care of her body

Her friends are the known Grown Girls

She still sees herself as the grown girl, despite being married to her husband for fifty years.
