the power lyrics Verse 1 If Power empowers, where the hell was Austin Powers when the fallen towers were falling on ours that morning hour?!? Like JAG I (a)vow-er, and I, wanna devour those cowards if God allows us 24 hours - like Jack Bauer! You know they call Voe numero uno from the continent, they already say my place is on top - like condiments (laugh) Compliments have never made me, but I'll take the compl(e)ments and rhyme em together with any letters - call em conjugants! If you dont know me, you'll probably Google "X.O Senavoe" right after this, and if you don't - blow me These fluffy poodles, I eat rappers like they stroodles, only way we survived school was on pack of noodles - Indomie! I grew up in Ghana yeah, and rep Nige-ria, so put your hands up in the air, this is gonna be our year! The rumors is true, yeah Loopy's my crew, but who to pursue to be part of the group? I just stay low key I spit it not just ok, Mola and Ovie, ain't it crazy how through the bloody maze I Wade like Roe v. And the haters wane (Wayne) like Dwayne, you see our 'World's are so 'Different', I don't explain how I live mine, I just live it! Put if I pick it up, I'm in it; And if I'm in it, I will win it; Michael Jordan in an NBA Final - I win it! My momma passed when I was packing, so in passing when I'm packing, stop and think of how Momma passed and her passion! And her fashion! And her actions like always dashing to her knees for God's direction and compassion That's why for me giving up's never been an option, I throw the wind to caution, and put shit up for adoption I'm "Cirque du Soleil" with every rhyme, my simplest lines got u pressing rewind 'til you hit exhaustion! This beat is in a Hearse, I never (just) spit a verse, flip nouns verbs and words, lyrical contortion! Chorus/Hook: No time for Jagaga, I be my Baba son X.O no yawa - we got The Power Koko ni koko, u gots to know your own koko Make u no follow follow - you got The Power! No time for basabasa, na me be Papa son E no be small tin ooo, we got The Power Koko ni kono, na u dey drive your own motor oh No Idikoko - you got The Power! Verse 2 Baba God gave us the power, even simple words have power - Ask Obama or Osama, Bob Okala or Osuofia One word can create Hiroshima, obliterate Utopia - The lyrical Okocha, scoot over lemme coach ya! (X.O!) I bet you read they callin me a legend already, Black and well re(a)d like Krueger Freddy, shreddin' up beats into confetti They jelly/jellies - I'm Napalm! And now they palms are so sweaty way I'm steady cooking these classics like Raekwon (The Chef!) My connect is Kid Konnect, we connected since day 1 We got the "P", no Master P, but we go make dem say - "Urrgghhhhh!!" No token Sammy Davis, the greats are sayin' that I'm The Greatest, a Grammy shoe-in like laces - amazing like saving grace is Everything I spit's acidic, basic niggus get your litmus And to the Peters, Johns, James and Lebrons: Go out and "WITNESS"! And let the people know my flow's on top of the pinnacle Mercy Johnson's my centerfold, she calls me XO Senavoe (Senavoe) Rap circles 'til Steve Urkels fall like Jericho So tell em blohd claattt's (blood clots) they hatin' in vein - like varicose No I don't do beef - you know the meat they killed TuPac over All I do is me from Bolgantaga down to Abgoba Punchlines so sick!! They been known to make you lose you lunch over My verses (verse is) so bloody, angels pass over like its Passover! And y'all know that NEPA will never put on the power, when politicians rake in cheddar selling us cheap ass generators Its like they hate us (Ayyyyy), but WE are the ones who make us, no Mobutu Sesesekous, Idi Amins can never break us! So take this! I took the power in my own hands, I chose to make the most of God's gifts and be my own man No jagajaga, basabasa, Mom I can feel you smiling proud, shining like the sun down on your son And Pops'ee too - i know it's true He said - 'Always believe in you, chisel your dreams with wrenches, pliers and hammers, tighten your screws' I call em "The Power Tools'! And you can do it too! Never let losers and doubters fool you into believin you through You've got The Power too! Chorus/Hook: No time for Jagaga, I be my Baba son X.O no yawa - we got The Power No time for basabasa, na me be Papa son E no be small tin ooo, we got The Power (2x) "I dedicate this to my mom" |

I actually Made this Comparision on twitter like a month ago. . . And Fazillion no let me hear word! IMHO, X.O is A better lyricist, bt he doesn't have enuff materials. . . So d question of how Consistent he is/ will be come to the fore. One. PS: I didn't say Mode isn't dope. . . He is.(@ Modestans) |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by tical(m): 9:02pm On Mar 10, 2011 |

XO is a beast. I doff my hat for that Dude, That guy is going places, I have had Power on replay for a couple of months now. All these old backside rappers should be afraid oh this one nobi Shikena Shikena levels ohh. I think it is a little bit too early to start comparing him and Mode 9 though, , It is actually reassuring to know that every once in a while, Tosin listens to good music , I was beginning to question your tastes in music |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by 04kaa: 9:03am On Mar 11, 2011 |
[size=18pt]there is something u people are missing about X-o, his flow and voice is somehow weak,,,,he raps like a puppet , am not questioning his knowledge ,wordplay or metas, but his flow sounds somehow, he muddles up too many words and forces too many things, too much disconnected knowledge and lines that do not link , he also doesnt have enuff materials yet like fazillion said, but he is lyrically good no doubt. a high number of his lines are very questionable , the same lines like i solo like isolo and kuku dankwa, [/size]  take a look at this I spit it not just ok, Mola and Ovie, ain't it crazy how through the bloody maze I Wade like Roe v. -FORCED! And the haters wane (Wayne) like Dwayne-FORCED ! i rock more stones in my office, ask reggie. . and when i appear(appiah) ladies go gaga ask Jackie FORCED! One word can create Hiroshima, obliterate Utopia - The lyrical Okocha, scoot over lemme coach ya!--TOTALLY DISJOINTED?! My connect is Kid Konnect, we connected since day 1?? ( WTF , THIS IS A BIT WACK !) Mercy Johnson's my centerfold, she calls me XO Senavoe (Senavoe) Rap circles 'til Steve Urkels fall like Jericho FORCED ! No jagajaga, basabasa, Mom I can feel you smiling proud, shining like the sun down on your son WTF IS NO JAGAJAGA BASABASA? ? So tell em blohd claattt's (blood clots) they hatin' in vein - like varicose DOPE ! Punchlines so sick!! They been known to make you lose you lunch over My verses (verse is) so bloody, angels pass over like its Passover! FORCED AND DISCONNECTED! no Mobutu Sesesekous, Idi Amins can never break us!, WACK BECOZ IT WAS FORCED. ! I DISLIKE THE ''NO HOMO , NO MOBUTU RHYMES, i want u guys to take me on this first, this is what i noticed or is it just me ? |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by tosinaded(m): 10:30am On Mar 11, 2011 |
U may say his flows and voice are weak. . But me i see it as CONFIDENT! He dsnt av to emphasize or shout, it justs oozes out wiv ease. @shotster ur opinion abt me is ur choice mehn! |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by tical(m): 10:31am On Mar 11, 2011 |
04kaa:Yes! Its just u!!!  Datz just XO unique style of flow unlike som people who scream ova tracks lyk KRS1 nd stole jay z style of flow to better their delivery lately but stil sounds suck! U r talkin abt forced ryhmes. .those punches r not forced.i no knw d kind ear wey u get  Its obvious dat d flows u call disjointed pass ur head who uses more forced punches than mode9 in hip hop? Feel my pain/lyk skinny chics in labour - mode9 wtf? Punchline na by force? Dude, Do ur homework well b4 coming here to criticise a good body of work |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by 04kaa: 10:40am On Mar 11, 2011 |
tical: this is the problem wit u nairalanders, i am not comparing x-0 and mode 9 at all , i am just pointing out his weakness as a hiphop listener, .tical i have not insulted u o, what do u mean by ''dude do your homework''? which homework na assignment be dis lol omo trust me u dont want none of that nonsense wit me , just face the comment and weaknesses i noticed and dont throw anything at me, or else, u go hear am o i no send person papa message oam not saying his flow is not unique, i applaud his level of knowledge but he sounds so ordinary to me by forcing too many words to punchline by force.bite me tosinaded@: well its good that tosinodeda unlike tical agrees that his flow and voice is weak, x-o skips a lot on beat, he doesnt rhyme on beats properly, that is a minus for any hiphop head. especially when u have an array of dopes that dont follow rhythm. i think he should work on that very well. his lines are just too lenghty on his bars. it should be concise, short and unforced.! i want u guys to tackle me on this.! where is dbr , bjmighty and ibime, real heads come and listen and comment o, not kids wey never reach puberty like mobinga and tical |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by rapjunkie(m): 11:03am On Mar 11, 2011 |
Modenine has well over 200 joints. 99.5% of them with mad word play and punchlines. XO dey try. . . but hes an unproven upstart. How many tracks has he dropped? the guy is mad slow. damn! Even if you give a re*tard 6 months to write 32 bars, he will write sick lines |

[size=14pt]@Tosin I gotta admit like most of the peeps on here. I dl his tracks and read about him but i think its too early for you to start making any comparison between Mode and dude. I mean mode is far ahead of dude career wise even everything right now. Maybe a comparison debate will be cool later.[/size] |
| Re: Xo_senavoe Vs Mode9 :::::: Who Is Lyrically Better? by 04kaa: 1:51pm On Mar 11, 2011 |
Baba_Eleko: baba eko, thats not even the point, the point is that x-o is good, but he has a lotta work to do, especially on delivery , his bars are too long and lenghty, too many forced punchlines, na by force to use punchline?? these are the basic elements of hiphop which anybody should know, dont get it twisted dude spits knowledge but just a lil work will be good for him. unfortunately these online fools will not allow him to see where he needs to improve by overhyping him. unnneccesarily |
