words, expression of thought are never enough
heavily laden with emotion, i am thoughtless
how can i make you understand, the waves are riding rough
i am defeated, indeed i am less

pardon this digression but i think most of you guys just add bits and pieces to this story without reading it properly. the story now reads disjointed. its now like all these thrills and boons or hints silly and uninspiring tales. without meaning to be offensive, writing is an art. if you cant write then pls just read what others have written!!!!!!!

i'm so happy today i feel i can fly
trust me its not drugs, i'm just on a natural high

ok, i think i've just lost my rhythm

ACAN:

NAIJA ATMOSPHERE

people huzzling everyday to make pay
nothing is forth coming at the end of the day
man's still struggling to survive anyway
why will Nigerians abroad wants to come back to stay?
when women,childrends hawking/selling on a single tray
believe me when i say this country has gone astray
life at 30 man is still looking for a way

government counts millions on budget every year
wealth a do or die affair if you can dare
poor men still are suffering and they don't care
been sober and watchfull has he beware
hoping and believing God because he is there

how long will people leave in fear
developed country's citizens are living in cheer
while politicians here embezzle moneys while on there chair
man needs to fight back to clear the air
cause our generations need a good atmosphere

hey this is very impressive

BTT:

Say, Colours let's forget the trend
Will u be my friend
Or i should seek at another end?

GAMINE
nice to know your exams are through
now at last you can focus on you

JKPRETTY
i read your message to gamine and ive been laughing all day
sometimes i wish i still had my nysc pay
from canaan land to nairaland
that says a lot about our fatherland

ACAN
thanks a lot but my rhymes arent for sale
but now that youve mentioned it, i'll look into it without fail

WISYNO
you seem very wise
and your praise you definitely do not mise
good to have you around
wish people like you abound

ANGEL_EMPY
no mind any playahater
them go com hail you later
but hope say as you dey talk the talk
you go sabi walk the walk

PRINCESSA
the secret place, i have just read
and i must say very well said

BTT
thanks i did look at your signature strain
from sadness i definitely must abstain

DOMINIQUE AND SUES
just saying hi
you dont write anymore, why?

hi everyone, how was the weekend, great i hope. it feels good to be back. thanks also for the accolades. well i was checking thru my archives last night and i stumbled upon something i wrote about four years back. i had a laugh and decided to share it with you guys.

UNTITLED 1

imprisoned without chains; living with so much pain, a life without gain.
somedays i fear i'll go insane coz theres so much thinking in my brain.
hoping for the sun after the rain but alas my reality i cannot feign,
my predicament i cannot explain.
perhaps its my terrain that limits the heights i can attain;
for what do i stand to gain if i remain in my domain where my dreams are each day slain by poverty so plain?

my faith has begun to wane, my prayers seem to be in vain and my emotions like blood through my vein, a constant drain.

dear Lord, i know it seems like i complain but my goals i cannot seem to obtain!!!

in this quagmire of hopelessness i cannot remain.

WHY LORD, FOR JUST A GRAIN SO MUCH STRAIN

Dear God, sometimes its hard to refrain from asking if you reign
but lo! my anger i must restrain, my composure regain
and tarry Lord till you deign.

;d

WAITING

its been nearly 25 years and i'm still waiting
right now it's so hard but i'm trying to put some faith in

dear God i wish my faith was stronger
i don't know if i can hold out much longer

why does it have to be so damn hard
to fulfill my dreams, i'm just so sad

sometimes i feel like i'm going crazy
i gaze into my future and everything seems so hazy

these days i'm so melancholic
its a wonder i'm not an alchoholic

hey, i've run out of words to say
so i'll keep waiting for a miracle, who knows it just might be today

"leave kunle out of this" henry angrily spat out.
" its bad enough that i live with him as i have nowhere else to go, that you would sleep with him"
look amanda you owe me big time! "
for God's sake how do i know if it's even my baby or kunle's?"

BTT:

@ Colors

You sure werent on OBJ's train
How dare u 'dvice gamine so
When we try to teach refrain
You teach the girl not to say no

You sure werent on OBJ's train
Helping Corpers and daughters-in-law eat
Forbidden fruit that begat Cain

You sure werent on OBJ's train
Beatin people out of school
Gamine, please go to school
Read your books and perfect your rhymes
So we can all dance out of pain
And beat the times.

One Love

hmmn, BTT, i definitely wasnt on OBJ's train
infact i've never been on a train, it seems like so much strain

Gamine should definitely read
but just in case there's a need

princesa:

hi colours
wont Nigeria victory mean anything to you
anyway we lost that better luck nextime

honestly i dont think so
infact i'll have to say no

well to Nigeria, better luck next time
but really, how's that going to raise me a dime??

, "amanda, about the baby, i still think we should abort. you know i love you but we can't afford to keep it"

tears coursed down her cheeks as she turned to face the wall. he reached out to her but she shrank away from his touch. words such as these are never easy to say,

hey gamine, how has the examination been
i'm sure you must be stressed and even a bit lean

remember what i previously said
you dont have to read like a little nerd

a smile in the right direction
will ensure the much needed affection

from your lecherous teacher
who will be asking people, that gal gamine how can i reach her

just be sure to drop your numba
and with his assurance of all A's you can afford to dance the rumba


jut kidding though!

hi everyone and thanks jk-pretty
but right now lets go back to the nitty-gritty

i'm not a football fan
men running after a ball? i think there should be a ban

too bad nigeria lost
but is winning really a must?

sorry to all soccer fans i offend
but hey, before you rush to quickly defend

listen! millions of nigerians who cant afford to feed
waste valuable time watching what isnt a need

while we watch, the footballers are getting paid
but the masses are not! i guess enough said

we should use football time to hustle
so at night a meal we can rustle

my aunt nearly cried after nigeria's loss
would she have done the same if it was a sack from her boss?

lets put first things first
instead of us wasting our zest

screaming off side or its a goal!
lets come together as a whole

and fight poverty and corruption
maybe even HIV and abortion!!!!!

wisyno:


O color I wonder if you rap
Cos your rhymes are nicely wrapped

I must confess your talent
has got some great contents

you don't need to rob
when you can get a job
to rap to the top

Maybe you can rap like sasha
and make people halla
with so much laughter

hey thanks wisyno
to rap like sasha, hell no

but then again you just never know
i'll think about it and maybe give it a go

for my look i'm thinking dreads or afro
but this will take a while as my hair has to grow

really wish i could drop lines like kanye west
but then i'll have to work on my rapping skills first

but hey i've to face reality
back to my true ability

which is writing rhymes on nairaland
hoping to be recognised one day by my fatherland

hi guys i'm back
hopefully i havnt lost track

thanks sues and BTT
hopefully i'll soon be on AIT

for now though i still need a job
so that i'll not need to rob

just kidding about the robbing
but my joblessness has got me sobbing

getting a job seems so hard
sometimes i feel like i'm going mad

at a point i started trying to do my own thing
but it didnt work out so i threw it in the bin

right now i have to think of something quick
before i turn into a freak

princesa:

hi colors you are really killing me
here one you can't resist
i would love to take your advice
but here is the real fact



To go unnoticed
is the worst feeling i feel
to be a loner
is the worst place ive been
why wont my heart
stop this great crave
little and little hurt
will sure send it to its grave
yet the one sunshine i see
pass by me
as if i've never lived
the pain is so strong
that am sure i can't take
would sweet sucide
be the best pleasing way
no man catch my fancy
except this fun guy
and i sure can see
i'm heading for a big turbine
and death shall end my way
so colours what do you say

princesa
this your case is quite serious
its a wonder you are not yet delirious

i thought i could really assist
but this is one job i'll have to resist

ii suggest you see a shrink
coz its obvious you are at the brink

dont kill yourself yet
if you really need love why not get a pet

with a cat or dog you can express your emotion
at least you'll be assured of total devotion

it will lay at your feet
as you sit and knit

and even though you cant kiss
male company you wont really miss

its too bad your "sunshine " doesnt see you
maybe when he looks at you he doesnt like the view

trust me if you really like him youve got to impress
with your hair, figure, beauty and dress

lol

princesa:

thanks colours for that rhymed solution.
but i wonder again
is it just a rhyme or is that a solution i should look forward to and heed.

its just a rhyme that i suggest you should heed
a friend in need is a friend indeed

i dont do this always but for you i will
sure i wont do it for free, you've got to pay a bill

dont think much about how much it'll cost
instead think of how much time you've lost

its time you got a man to treat you right
even if tis' not love at first sight

when you are ready to give it a trial
dont hesitate to give me a dial

sexytitan:

I can't stay awake but try so hard to
The rhyme to make is making my heart blue
Oh, oh i wish i had a hearthrob who'll hold me in his arms like glue
Trust me, u don't want to hear his cue

i'm not sure you want to be held like glue
especially when your partner has got the flu

i know just how you feel, trust me i do
i used to be alone, sad and blue

i got so worried
thought i was ugly, fat and horrid

then i met someone nice
he took me out for some chicken and rice

he didnt have much money
but i thought he was funny

and we've been toghether ever since
you know love isnt only about rice and beans

sometimes its about kolanuts
riding okadas and living in huts

Gamine:

Colors! my girl u just dey bubble

Abeg chop knuckle.

Your ryhmes are just too tight!
i wunda how i could compete without a fight

let me go back to my drawing board
i hope this dosnt sound odd

That i respect the way u do
i hope your really a girl and u don't have us fooled!

Keep up your work my sister
May your well never dry up till hither!

lol

hey gamine,

you obviously dont believe girls are this smart
thats just too bad coz for me this is an art


i started doing this when i was in high school
obviously thats why my stuff is so cool

i like that you are going back to the drawing board
wish i could share my knowledge but , no i like to hoard

hey, what about the exams you had to write
hope you took my advice coz i was just trying to make your burdens light

i'm through with school still i know how hard it was
struggling to remember all the numerous laws

wish i could write more but today i'm rather sad
got some news and yes it was bad

really depressing stuff i dont wish to say
summary of it is that i really need some pay

so please pray for me today before you go to sleep
as i stay awake, depressed, trying hard not to weep

princesa
its too bad youre all alone
why dont you call me on the phone

coz loneliness i can never condone
but hey, maybe the fault is your own

maybe you should smile a little more
when next a guy comes knocking at your door

even if you are not fine
at least let your inner beauty shine

i have a brother
he has a wife but needs another
so pls send me your number
with a picture that makes you look younger

who knows with a little photo editing
we can find you someone befitting
