i do POETRY

There's something I love to do
There's something I was created to do
There's something I most leisurely do
There's something I can't help but do

The name you call it, same I call it
We call it...they call it POETRY

Biko! Sip Small Courage

Worry this

Worry that

Worry here

Worry there

Mountain to Pillar

Pillar to Post

Biko! Sip small courage

Na only shikinni remain

Only a lil’ while longer

…and it’d all be over!

All for the greater good

BABA has bounties in-store

Of that I’m viva-sure!

Coudé.Cougar

Trying to make this work

Quit the act, be less a jerk

Swung off into thick jungle

Figs, twigs and digs of bizarre

Precisely what we are

The earlier the better

So permit me with pleasure to bar

Car afar, lest a drift too far

Gongo Aso!

Young lad hustler

Boy street struggler

Nothing but vernacular

Yung lad hussula

Boi strit struggula

Na so so vanakula

Olowo dey pass

Olowo dey fashi

Faaji ati kilishi

One day after today

Young lad go hammer

Better cloth for glimmer

Grammy go dey shimmer

Yung lad hussula

Gongo a so...

Gongo ma so!

RevV Thine Engines

So far, so good

Thus far have we come

Hungry for more tho' we got some

What holds beats 'em scolds

These molds; beets 'n folds

Thus far have we come

Thus far are we charged

God save the morrow

We ain't gonna laze

Mos def, we gonna blaze

You ain't seen nothing yet

(in Pa’s distinct vocals)
