Here I Am

 I Will Bless You I will bless you even in the darkest times Walk with you through the thickest vines Sail with you over the wildest tides Endure to behold your brightest lights Bleed for you through the hardest fights Listen to you in my quietest times Dine with you, your desired diets Read with you what the martyrs write Roar with you like a lion's pride Hold you close like a mother's prize Support your own like an earnest bride Play my beats with the sickest rhymes Bring to you my honest tithe Worship you through silent nights Be an instrument for the dancer's hype Shield me, dear LORD, with your strongest might

  We Dey Ground Even the slightest jokes hurt the hardest 'cause in these times, a smile is much more expensive We're walking on ten toes, but our jaws are the hardest Burying every battle we almost won I know change may start with the person in the mirror But the mirror shapeshifts and turns its back on us How do we know our next destination? Hell is deep down, but our brains are already hot I lost a pesewa in my dream, and that's a nightmare; I can tell Trotros and other public transports are more appealing than porsches Fuel prices are inflating; I hope dinosaurs are not returning I swear, I tossed a coin into the sky and I still can't find it Don't try to advise yourselves; you are too young for responsibilities, I tell you We dey ground like seeds, but what do we yield? Nothing We speak of progress, masa it died with Nkrumah Loud mouths, so we're deaf already
