Warez......where u be when i needed ya most?/African woman

I have been downloading songs into my PC since last sunday through one of the new P2P software I downloaded from Download and I am actually downloading naija songs so, you may say that I am being tribalistic, but hey,different strokes for different folks!
Actually, it is FELA's songs, damn, I never thought this man, can really make my day, I mean I love Fela but I wasnt that crazy bout him cos I only thought it was "old school" so why bother myself about oldies, but I guess I was damn wrong, he is a really good singer and his lyrics do make sense up till today.... like "teacher dont teach me nonsense", its a work of art I must say, that man was talented, I guess that s why he didnt live that long to enjoy his popularity but his music and shrine shall live on... hopefully I might be able to go their one day to that famous African shrine where everything goes... except now, his son Femi Kuti has decided to ban "igbo" or "weed" from the Shrine.... hehehhe what a life.... anywayz, thanks to warez, I m gonna keep downloading all those crazy songs but alas I couldnt download Eedris Abdulkareem( he is not searchable i GUESS)! Right now I am listening to African Woman, he is praising and dissin the African women.. hmm... lemme hear him out sha.... "African woman, she go say... she go say i be lady oooo.....!" You'>http://www.felaproject.net/">You can check his personal website designed by "stayhonest", its all about this phenomenal man...

Tear drops from the heart!

Times have changed,
things have moved,
lovers are haters
enemies are friends,
strangers are lovers
but who will be my sympathiser,
cos this tears keeps on fallin
and i am down with love softly

Rain is fallin,
life is bloomin,
things are growin,
birds are chirpin
animals are lyin down
waiting for the next full moon to celebrate on
but who will hold my hands to nite?
and make me feel like a real woman
who will lie down next to me
and try to comfort me with love and care
cos I am dyin inside out
with no one to love me....

I wonder how it will be
if you were me
and i were you
maybe you will realise my feelings
and decide to act upon it
or u will just forget bout me cos you are me and not you
but if i were you and not me
i will still love you
and harbour for sweet nothings i can scrape out from you
but you are not me and i am not you
so i guess i have to live on the lil i have
till God gives me something better than this...
Just wish it were a bit faster
so i dont have to wallow in pain forever....
my teardrops are fallin inside of me
you cant see cos you dont wanna care
but it will keep on fallin
cos of the pain and sorrow you ve caused
nothing will change all that
except LOVE......

I will get there.....somehow.. someway!

I wonder sometimes why people try to create nonsense or nonsensical things in other people's life... Why try to be great when you know deep inside you arent.. why create and pretend to be who you are and yet you arent! It makes me wonder if this world we live in is full of pretenders, waiting for you and I to enter their lives and steal away things that we wont take for granted! I do wonder why people try to say " I love you!" when they know deep inside they dont? it is really scary for me at times to trust people cos I cant go through another heartbreak again... I have seen the bad guys , dined with the ugly guys.. the good guys? well, they never seem to exist or they always hide away so that they wont get caught up in this world's nemesis!
One thing I have realised in all of my life, I have never cheated or lied about my true feelings, never pretended to be in love when I do know I detest the person, I do believe that being trustworthy and always telling the truth count most even if 99 percent of people you have met or would meet wont be trustworthy enough.
Now, Love is not what it is meant to be... some people dont know the meaning of love talkless of reciprocating the feeling back to their loved ones, some envy you for being in love but never try to work things out in their love relationships... some... like I said earlier... are "love pretenders"... just make the other person believe that they love him/her but dump her when she wants more loving... it is a shame, to you guys out there, if you like "hitting" on girls like you try to tell your "homies" cos nothing hurts bad than being lied to ... or false interpretations of your feelings... you may have "hit-and-run"ed your way through it, but be least assured that one day, someone too will enter your life, pretend to love you and drop you off just like that! without looking back...(Alcia keys'KARMA)
I am glad for being in love and I am glad that I will always be in love... with or without anyone in my life... atleast I do know how to express my feelings!To my loved ones, thanks for accepting me for who i am and for loving me no matter what I do or say.. I love you all..

J'aime...... moi beau!

Wet Days

I dream of heaven
I dream of things wonderful
I dream of peace
I dream of everything
I dream of love even when I cant hold you down to myself....
I dream of you, I dream of you my love

I care for you
I care for all things beautiful
I care for us
I care when no one else does
Oh baby, why dont you realise this?
That you are my only love
I cherish....

Things I adore
things I day-dream about
I love to hold you down
when the rain is falling down
I love to hang around your place
when you arent around
eventhough I feel blue when I am with you

Dont try to think
dont bother to cheat
I aint gonna freak out
when you love someone else
cos I know that you are mine
always....
baby, why dont you stay with me
through my wet days..........

This is a lil bit slow... it cant r nb... but a slow love song you can think of in the 60s era.. when love is love and not right now... hehehe bye folks!

Poverty in the land of plenty:Africa

hmmm,

Africa... you never know this beautiful continent unless you spend your whole life there... cos this is where my heart feels free.. where I get to kiss the red earth and feel alive... and yet this is where the "freedom - fighters" alias colonial masters came to destroy our innocence, it is like robbing the bridegroom of his wife, in the name of colonisation!
Yet, I never get to watch the Live8 cos I was busy in school with my classes, but i got some snippets of the concert here and there through my mobile phone but then, I dunno what the heck the G8 members are doing, I have forgotten that they were still around until I heard about the terrorist attack in central London and that was when I realised that the G8 were still available...
People, Africa is too rich to be in debt, but are we going to stop begging for more resources when we already have enough?! Are we still trying to fill everybody's pocket with money and yet our own countrymen cant find any kobo to hold on to cos we are poor? I dont believe that we are poor cos they are using our brain, draining us and stressing us with all of their problems and yet we are still being colonised( no pun intended) on what to do? well, we need to stand up for ourselves, whether the G8 are going to help us or not, we need to satisfy ourselves with the limited resources that God gave to us and use it and not allow them to take more from us... so help me God...

Jealous of you!

~Jealous of you~

I see the way he calls you
never dropping the phone for hours long
I felt something in me
I felt that he loves you
and I know you love him too!

I stop the thoughts cos I cant
imagine you being with him
I pinch myself daily
why i going crazy over this
but I guess life goes on

I am jealous of you gal...
You seem to get him to be by your side
You are so lucky
that I feel jealous thinking of you both!

I dont know why he comes by daily to send you roses and chocolate
but I guess everyday is valentine to him
I cant believe a real man can do that
but I guess it must have been love
or it is you doing your magic on him

Why cant I have him the way you do
You seem to be in another planet from mine
and thats why I feel this pain
whenever I think of you both

I am jealous of you gal...
You seem to get him stuck on you
I dunno how you do it
but I am envious of your love for him
but I am gonna be jealous till I can
get someone like him!

I cant sleep sometimes,
thinking of you has become something I do daily

and if I should die tomorrow
I will be a contended soul
because you satisfied my appetite
and make me feel whole and tight!

cos you are my only naijalicious love
