Please Don't Love Me Francisca
Please don't love me Francisca
I am on my way to America,
And my return is not certain,
For your love hundreds of me
are pleading
Please consider their craving,
My destiny is my priority
My continued search for the right
Kind of life might last for eternity.
So my love for you is not certain,
My love is for wealth and money
I think about it every morning.
But I don't want to get it through
the back door,
And I don't want your heart hurt.
So I say, try someone else
For my love is for nothing else
But money and wealth.
After which my heart love can take,
For without money love is vain.

Beautyful Miss (I miss You)
Beautyful miss of my dreams
You always refuse my love
I want you to be my miss
Cause for you I really miss.
But you treat me bad miss
What do you see
When you look into my eyes
I see love in your eyes
Though I'm scared to stare.
Your eyes so beautyful
Shines like the rising sun
Gave my life light.
For long, so long
I've been chasing after you
Your love, so hard to find
Your heart, so undefind.
Why do you treat me bad miss?
Remember I came to you
Last night, and talked to you
About love, my love for you

Shakespeare's Sister
Chidinma, she's Shakespeare's sister
For she also has the beauty of Juliet.
She shines more than a rising star
Gave light to my dark;
And brought love back to my heart.
Wonder if I could beat Paris in a duel,
And give her a ride to the sky,
Fairy creatures on our every side.
Romeo was too impatient,
Suicidal was no option for Juliet,
And the families now they are reconciled
Too late did they realised there's nothing
to be gained from the fight.
Let us kill the feud early enough,
And allow our children live happilly in love,
For Romeo was too impatient
And suicidal was no option for Juliet.

True love dont lie
Love is happiness
And happiness is love
True love dont lie
And mine never lied
But yours is deception itself,
If I could turn back time
Then I would take back my words
Sweet words I said to you before.
It gave you life
It came from my heart
And to you it was life itself.
But now that you suddenly
Found love somewhere else
You don't want me anymore.
You found love somewhere
And left me shattered
And now it is my turn to laugh
Over your found shammed love
Cause now you suddenly realised
My love can never be found

Died
Die my brother die
You can't see God like this,
I died my brother I died
But I saw Hell instead.
.
Kneel my brother pray
And seek atonement,
I knelt my brother I prayed,
But I got punishment instead.
.
Dance my brother sing,
And praise the Lord in highest,
I danced my brother I sang
Much more than David did.
But instead I saw the Lord in rage.
.
Don't be afraid my brother
Confront your fate,
The Lord is of mercy and kindness,
He shall forgive all your weakness,

Nollywood
A hot sunny day in my
neighbourhood;
Saw a troop of stars falling
down from Nollywood.
They were all cladded in
golden gowns and jewelries,
Enough to take us off our
penuries.
Like a share holder of Fedex
Iyke flaunted to me his
golden rolex
He stared and said to me
Have you ever seen me on
the screen?
I did dope, I smoked hemp
They said I was sick in the
head.
I was the husband who
threw Jenevieve off the
stairs.

For J in America
Like memories were
Made to reinstate the past
I still think of you like
Yesterday when we were
engaged
Though you found
A new me now
And I must respect that
But I am worried and
Feel I haven't found a
New you yet.
.
While we were together
Just two years ago
My hope I felt, began to
Crumble on me
Because then I was facing
The most
Difficult period of my life
And my dream of a union

Do Not Forget My Name
Do not forget my name
It is written in every page
We all have a debt to pay
When you face him at
The other gate,
How would you say
You spent your days?
And it would be a shame
If you are taken the
other way.
Limbo, shall hold no
man hostage
Christ had done all for
our own sake.
He has taken the pains
To show us the way
It is now left for us
to chose our fate.
But surely it would
be a shame

Ghana
You're stealing my brothers
They're leaving for your shores
They say they search for
a greener pasture,
But motherland they abandon
Is being overrun with weed.
Who could make them see,
That it is no better over the seas
If we stay and build our own home
We can have all we could hope,
Ghana is no better land,
They have voted in good leaders
And together they have built
their home,
Citizens live happy and could cope,
Why don't we stay and build
ours too?
Stand in queue and vote in good
leaders too,
For Ghana is never a better land

To You My Heart Belong
Jami, to you my heart belong
I have waited for you so long
And now that I have you in my life
What more could I ask of a wife?
You gave me your life, your heart
What more do I need in my house?
If not for the sweet kids;
They too love me like my sweet Jami
O how can I be so happy!
You don't even know what
You mean to me.
Jami Oh Jami you keep my life
jamming!
The sweet kids too, they are
coming
Coming all the way to Africa;
To be with their new daddy.
This is Nigeria in my Africa
To where we all belong.
We will live and visit your America.
