the road

the road may be long and hard,
the journey may make ur soul weary,
along this road are gems and treasures untold
along this road friends and foes alike u will meet
treasure ur friends and love ur enemies
for u see my lad, friends hoist u up when u fall,
but at the jeers of enemies,
legs regain strength to run to higher heights
wherest the road lead?
surely a place of grandeur
for a treacherous road such as this i reckon

the road may get familiar and smooth
nevertheless, forge ahead u must
for the road is not the prize
a few liberties on the road u may take
treasures and gems are not for the roadside
crowns and kingly robes
belong in the courts of kings and lords
my lad, ur world await..

this was written for my gurl Bim
who's battling surgical residency and enemies of progress


Bim,
u may yet get that beatdown i promised, if u keep letting ariwo oja deafen u
wey dem earplugs now!

looking forward to u and me on the beach in CABO... yeah!!

choosing self

i played this Tamia cd for the second time since i bought it.. i heard this song and remembered skipping it mid play cause i had no time for "chick dramatics" today.
i hear it now with an understanding that eluded me years back, i played it again and again..
and my heart ached for every girl/woman that had to endure any kind of abuse.
i dedicate this song to the women of the world and pray they will have the courage and strength to choose themselves each and every time they are faced with an abuser.

ps:once i find the time to install a player i will def put this song up..



Me by Tamia
Love was the former owner
But quiet is renting our house
It ceases my lips from speaking
But forms a sarcastic smile
Suspense now raised one of your eyebrows
You asked me if there's someone else
I replied yes, hell yes

[Bridge 1]
You asked if it's another man I said NO
You laughed and say is it a woman I say YES
Surprisingly you ask me for honey's name

[CHORUS]
And her name is me
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that
Loving you and loving me just don't seem to work at all
So patiently,
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
And to choose between you two
Boy you know if I have to choose I choose me

[VERSE 2]
And she told me to tell you to never to hurt me again
Cause if you haven't heard she's a bad chick
Even though I haven't been
Yet and still you try and test me by raising an angry hand
Put it down, Put it down!

[Bridge 2]
I'm leaving don't try and stop me NO
I'm late and she is waiting, YES
My love for me is too much so I can't stayyy

[CHORUS]
And her name is me
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that
Loving you and loving me just don't seem to work at all
So patiently
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
And to choose between you two
Boy you know if I have to choose I choose me

[VERSE 3]
Cause she's actually forming a threesome
And I'm happy that I can join them
Their names are me myself and I

[CHORUS]
And her name is me
She loves me more than you'll ever know
I finally see that
Loving you and loving me just don't seem to work at all
So patiently
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
And to choose between you two
Boy you know if I have to choose I choose me
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
Gotta to choose between you two
And you know if I have to choose I choose me
i gotta go with me.....
