Well I am a fan of short notes, poems and stories. One day my very good classmate provoked me and I bent down in a corner and wrote a song about it. It is not really a song, I will call it a lyric simply a lyric. It is not like any of these European sons we hear today. I will take it to have an African concept, more of a Nigerian concept I suppose. The lyric goes like this:
****************************************************************
I know I got some enemies
Wey dey like some elegies
And I got some energy
I go fight my enemies
I go like to Conquer
And I go bring the thunder
Ma Niggas dem go suffer
I go make them surrender
No be for here were the problem start
And there is no reason for you to do like that
So please trust me (trust me)
If you don't love me (love me)
Dem go like throw bomb at me
But them no know say I godly (yeah)
Never call my number
You no be my brother
There's no need to bother
Cause you are not my lover
Please don't cross my border
Cause you go see another
Then you go think and sober
Simply about your life and Burna
I go like to Conquer
And I go bring the thunder
Ma Niggas dem go suffer
I go make them surrender
I know I got some enemies
Wey dey like some elegies
And I got some energy
I go fight my enemies
Koni baje funmi
Eru ga soro so leave
Ane ma joro no need
Yeah dem go like barb me goris
Cause the problem no dey here
Leaving on my own men
Piling the dough yeah
Breathing on dem geng men
I go like to Conquer
And I go bring the thunder
Ma Niggas dem go suffer
I go make them surrender
I know I got some enemies
Wey dey like some elegies
And I got some energy
I go fight my enemies
****************************************************************
Yeah this is a song I composed last week under 40 minutes in my house due to the action I told you earlier. I know those who can at least understand the concept will love it so well. I don't think the Americans will understand such because it strictly has an African concept behind it.
This is a fun post and I will explain it. I posted it to show a little of my culture and all that kind of stuff. You see a totally foreign language there right, yeah, that's the Yoruba language. You can actually look that up on the net you will see it.
You'll also see some sort of English but not in the right form or rather say is is grammatically incorrect. Down here in Africa we call it Broken English. From the name you will see that it was devised in a way to make the African pronounce English easily, without stress. You all know very well that English was never made by us, we were all colonized and we learnt it.
So that's that. If you can check out Yoruba on the net.
If you liked the song or you something to say like and comment so I could get answers to your questions and be encouraged. Thank You.
I would like to hear some more of your stories about your culture. 👍
