Walls of Benin

[Verse 1]
I wanna see the light lord
Everday another fight lord
Got me feeling like a vice lord
But i don't slice swords
I attack with my words
Told you let's start
That wasn't the best part
I tried to do my best provide the next with a jet pack
I'm trying to move ideas from my mouth to your head
Start the engine
Call the troops let's call a truce
Halt the truth i'll be forced to shoot
Ya'll abuse what we've been given
I'll restore it too
Was ordered to
Left my home, i was forced to move
Soldiers boots, came close, we flew
Almost off the roof
Stood on the ledge
Gave my offering to you
Like lord forgive me but i gotta try this music and i swear it's not a gimmick
What i've started i will finish
Know my future i can see it
This is what we will begin with
Starting now until we finish

[Interlude]
Was telling a story before
This was a story of war
Moments i had to record
And share it with all of ya'll
Stretching my vocal chords
Pressing ideas that are dressed in nothing but fashion couture
Cultured with all of my words
I had the key
Had some weed to pasture me
I was going to rap for free
But ya'll don't value priceless things
Wondering what path to lead
Damn i wanna ask Temi
How does joy come casually
I guess i just had to believe

[Verse 2]
I'm just trying to be a better man
I just want to make you understand
Just cause i'm coming from the motherland
Doesn't mean i must be underground
And i ain't got no upper hand
I struggle hard just to earn demand
To the listeners and all the fans
I hope they learn to understand
I am just a Lagos kid
Went to university
Learnt that the greatest peace
Is not to hate your enemies
Rhyme universally
These words are just a part of me
Chose to tell my story for the record so the world could see
First we had Mode9
He opened up our eyes to see
A nigga like M.I
That's the second chapter b
Now they asking who's the future
Standing tall so they can see
This is hope and victory
I'll just wait for ya'll to see
I'll just wait for ya'll to
