Life Just A Stage

Life has become nothing but a solo Stage
A place where we come, Perform and Hope
Where Humans Audition and people gather
To see him that has passed in tears of Joy
And he whom, that failed also with tears

The way has been set from the creation of life
Oh what a wonderful stage, where lights beam!
And Men lose their Voices, Faith and Courage
As the crowd watches and waits for its time
Brutally condemning and praising everyone

A Stage that doesn’t go down with time and Age
To those who have been there ‘Our Fathers past’
Some in glory, others in shame; yet, both eternal
Both wishing, they knew better, when it mattered
To those who are yet to come, the future; ‘Unborn’

We Hope that when you arrive, you might learn
From the mistakes we making right now ‘We today’
The Stage has been Set, as we climb up one by one
Many times not even aware of the shape we in
Or the problems that might arise from our now

In our ability to perform great and create ‘A fame’
Or the problems of us being booed downwards
For we got up and froze, mouth open, nothing said
Where some were and shown bright as Stars
And others afraid to even climb up the podium

It’s my turn to climb, this undying Stage of Life
My hands are shaking and my head spins over
Blood pumping, heartbeat racing exponentially
Oh! Where am I; I forgot, am already on Stage
From the day I was born Crying as a Child!!!

Baby you have got me all twisted in you

When I look back at my life
Many times I don’t know why
What made you choose me girl?
Cause I never had the “ego”
But you stayed with me in all
Throughout all the pains of life

Now that I am on the top of life
I want to spend my days with you
Since you had stayed with me
And smoking with me the ‘garri’
That time wey I no get the money
Now I want you to be my ‘wifey’

Cause you are the one that I see
In all that we’ve been through
How can I show you, what you mean
To this big heart of mine, but this;
That Baby girl I’ve got faith in you
And in everything we do is perfect

Baby, this ‘pepper’ is meant for you
What else would I need them for?
But to show you the whole world
Just say a place and we go there in time
Cause Baby you’ve got me soul up
Twisted all over your soul and heart

You know that I Love you honey
Everything you do ‘trips’ me down
Now that the situation is turned around
I know that you don’t need my money
But I have to spend it on you my baby
Cause you are my princes, my queen
My Baby Mama, Mama of my boys

You are the only one that I trust with life
If I become blind, I know you’ll be there
That’s how much I trust you my baby
Cause you’ve got me all around you
I’ll stay with you for you stayed with me
‘I no dey fear anything, if you dey with me’
For with you, my liver ‘dey’ full ground

Baby I’ll cut my beating heart, just for you
For I know, that you would keep it safe
That’s how much I trust you with it
Cos you’ve got me twisted in the game
You know that I would never leave you
No matter the situation, I am here
For I no dey go anywhere ‘at-all at-all’

You are the pump in my heartbeat
The reason why blood dey always flow
I no fit leave you cause you’ve got me
I’ll never stop loving you, even tomorrow
Cause I would be there, one day more
I’ll follow you, till the end of the world
For you are the only one that has the light
That light that shines the path to my future

You know that I would always follow you
Yes, you would always be in my heart
You know that you have the key to me
Anytime you lock the door it’s locked
No one can come in, if you don’t open it
Baby you’ve got me all twisted in you
I’ll stay with you, till the end of my days
Baby you have got me till the end of life
