I think I'm El-Rufai / Wole Soyinka
Chinua Achebe/ Dele Giwa / Saro Wiwa
Writer with a cause Finding ways so we can Speak Up
Lock away the Force Cause they know we Fire Breathers
Sieve out Deceivers Separate the Fakes
Feel like I'm swimming in the lake full of snakes
Playing High Stakes but my brains full of aches
Days full of vapes Getting Paid @ the Rate
Bored with the Games but its still Monopoly
God give us Leaders Everyday we Pray
And we pray and we pray but still aint nothing change
Even though we know that we can never lose the faith
parents losing kids now its a home i cide
Someone from your home has died
Breaking families up so now you feel aint no home inside
Crazy how you lose your best too much homie-cide
thought of it is horrifying
VERSE 2
I don't watch News its full of letters bout bombs
words about Afghanistan man doing harm
dodging whips cause I don't know ko-Boko Haram/
its ironic/ seeking knowledges 1st words in Islam
We a Strong Breed? Cause Im no Longer at Ease
All i see around me is Excess Greed
CHORUS
Heard they Kill messengers
So Im not a Messenger
Im a Listener
You are My Confidant
And you tell me that you are gonna
Hit the Top!
Accidental
People
Champ
Already Pushing Change
VERSE 3
Using Songs in a time of war to keep hope alive
Accidental People Champ Making sure we all survive
They Madmen or specialist dog I can't decide
Man of the People You know bout my family ties
1st son of Muhammad and my Mama's Mary am
Watching all these Monsters Ball wheres Halle Berry @
Im just trying to meet some Browns aint Tyler Perry men
Life is a Play of Giants hope you got the fetti man
Talking cheese cheddar dough bread or the gwap
See the Church collapse Then the Mosque takes a Bomb
I guess I should tell 'em that Peace means Salam
But i heard they shoot messengers No Arrow of God
CHORUS
Heard they Kill messengers
So Im not a Messenger
Im a Listener
You are My Confidant
And you tell me that you are gonna
Hit the Top!
