Timeless Lyrics by thecardinal(m): 1:30pm On Sep 17, 2015 |
It is not uncommon to hear people bemoan the dearth of wholesome, meaningful and inspired lyrics in contemporary nigerian music. This sentiment, does not mean that there is a complete absence of competent and inspired song writers in the nigerian music industry. The negative outcry about unimaginative lines in songs maybe well founded, however artist who still pen unforgettable words should not be forgotten in the cacophony of noise decrying what is perceived as vapid lyrics. In recognition of those who have taken time to craft memorable lyrics, please post your favourite musical lines. Please keep them short and feel free to include foreign artistes. These are 2 of mine - 1."...If you're walking in the marketplace /don't throw stones/ even if you do you just might hit one of your own" Asa in 'Jailer ' 2. "...I'm so fresh/I look like wealth/ I'm about to call the paparazzi on my self" Jay Z in 'Otis' |

I totally understand your point,i am a songwriter,and it hurts me to know that songs with literally no lyrical effort get so much airplay. My favourite lyrics- "this kind of lux aint meant for us,we crave a different kind of buzz" 1 Like |
