Enemies
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.
