DO NOT LET ME GO



If truly you love me 
Do not let me go 
I might be from out of town 
I might be out of my mind

But the language of love is the same 
When ever it reaches out from the heart 
It might be through a song 
Or by coincidentally bumping into you 

Last time I recalled 
You are not afraid of making a call 
But seems to be selling yourself short 
Don't tell me you are afraid of commitment 

Please don't let me go back home 
Broken, sad and on my own 
No one can understand 
The way you make me feel 

Imagine a queen with a sad crown 
Going through a miserable night 
Life will be terribly alright 
Not able to find you by my side 

Why do you make me cry? 
Why can not I fall in love with you?
What is wrong if you take me home tonight 
Our relationship don't need to have a perfect start 

Hey boy, do not take me for a flirt 
Not everyone can control there feelings 
All I am asking is to be with you 
Please, don't send me back home tonight

A PERFECT GUY



I never said I am a perfect guy
What if I told you it is all but a lie
In my heart I hide so many secrets
I am sorry; I did not mean to be selfish

You are honest, kind, loving and caring
Everything you have, never mind sharing
The guilt of betraying your trust
It is tearing me apart

Please forgive me, I want to be your man
I have learnt to be a better man
I will take all the thrashes out
Build the walls of our relationship from the start

Allow me to fix all that is broken
For all you have got is forsaken
It is amazing to behold your beautiful smile
I will give everything away so it never dies

I could never leave you with a heart break
I will be by your side when you are awake
I never had the privilege to say thank you
The best thing that has ever happened to me is you

LOVE AND HATE



Dedicated to the victims of Benue State Killing by the Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria




We underestimated the power of hate
See how much sorrow it brings to our gate
Every single day is another death
Our sons and daughters murdered by gunshot

Only God knows the depth of our hate
Religion is taken for a bait
Around me adversaries have gathered
They tried to take my life, but it's too late

I wondered if the lord can take the pain out
If He will ever forgive us of this insanity
How can we our grievance be buried
When a little child is afraid to sleep

If you are not careful, you maybe next
Do not let them Fool you, that it is alright
Everyone is a victim, for the society is lost
Our leaders have gone mad

With tears in my heart
I prayed for love to be shared
Here and now, so we can be one indeed
For there to be peace, love is all we need
