Wahala-Wahala SB

Verse 1
I’m born in a multiverse
colour of my skin is my universe.
Born to a land that’s always curse
black as night, black to unite
Growing fast for love to last
we’re stronger for longer
but our lives is getting worst.

Chorus
Following songbirds in my dreams
I’m chasing
my borderless Africa
chasing
a borderless Africa
Some say I’m on the run, but when you’re done, you’re done
If Africa wants me, Africa is the land that made me breathe.

Verse 2
Africa has all you need, except to live and die on speed
every day, I see people of colour, living colourful dreams.
In Africa clouds give way to rain, walls of river unrestraint
As far as the eye can see, Africa is the land of opportunity.

Chorus
Following songbirds in my dreams
I’m chasing
my borderless Africa
chasing
a borderless Africa
Some say I’m on the run, but when you’re done, you’re done
If Africa wants me, Africa is the land that made me breathe.

Verse 3
I don’t see blood running black and black
I don’t see blood running red on black
It’s the Franc and the Dollar a keep us wahala-wahala
It’s the Euro and the Pound a keep us wahala-wahala.

Chorus
Following songbirds in my dreams
I’m chasing
my borderless Africa
chasing
a borderless Africa
Some say I’m on the run, but when you’re done, you’re done
If Africa wants me, Africa is the land that made me breathe.

Bridge
After the last slave ship, shame on our nations
fighting blood relation
Can we have a conversation to fight peace and abomination.

Chorus
Following songbirds in my dreams
I’m chasing
my borderless Africa
chasing
a borderless Africa
Some say I’m on the run, but when you’re done, you’re done
If Africa wants me, Africa is the land that made me breathe. PEP©

Dope the Fever SB

Verse 1
Your fever is gone, but you're not well
you’re hurting under a woman's spell.
there’s a hole in your shoe,
if you can find your broken heart
You can have your cake and eat it too.

Chorus
Ain’t gonna honour you,
to follow you
ain’t gonna holler you,
to fall on you.
ain’t no way, no how
I want you to touch me now.
Ain’t gonna corner you
to hold you down
Spy on you to cry for you.
ain’t no way, no how
you can touch me now.

Verse 2
I’ve dropped words, released your track
You got your hoe, ain’t holding you back.
Use my words to calm your nerves,
Once or twice you got hit and you were out cold,
and slept as if you had lost your soul.

Chorus
Ain’t gonna honour you,
to follow you
ain’t gonna holler you,
to fall on you.
ain’t no way, no how
I want you to touch me now.
Ain’t gonna corner you,
to hold you down
Spy on you to cry for you,
ain’t no way, no how
you can touch me now

Verse 3
There's only one girl like me,
and you’re never gonna have someone like me
Don't count me in your one, two, three,
your busted lip won’t be kissing me
I can see you’re already missing me.
Boy, your life is my compromised.

Bridge
If you’re looking for me to calm you down
best climb down
Signed you’re name on your way out
and don’t let the door leave a mark on your back
My love ain't the game where you can go score
and come back.

Chorus
Ain’t gonna honour you,
to follow you
ain’t gonna holler you,
to fall on you.
ain’t no way, no how
I want you to touch me now.
Ain’t gonna corner you,
to hold you down
Spy on you to cry for you.
ain’t no way, no how
you can touch me now. PEP©

Brother Sir SB

Verse 1
Brother, sir
buy me a bottle of water please
it’s hot out here
and I’m homeless on the street.
Water to quench my thirst is all I need.
My head has all the heat,
but it’s Sloane Square that burns my feet.

Chorus
If you see her
if you see her coming
remember your chicken
the egg
whichever came first,
they didn’t see it coming
they didn’t see it coming.
If you hear her
if you hear her crying
remember life begins at birth
no one ever feels your hurt.

Verse 2
Brother, sir
Can you make it fizzy water
I don’t see the brand I like
water with added energy will be alright
I’ll take the Lucozade orange.
If you don’t mind,
or any flavoured water will do.

Chorus
If you see her
if you see her coming
remember your chicken
remember the egg
whichever came first,
they didn’t see it coming
they didn’t see it coming.
If you hear her
if you hear her crying
remember life begins at birth
no one ever feels your hurt.

Verse 3
Brother,
I didn’t mean to bother you
but, if our lives were the other way around
I would do the same for you
Step out of the queue
and put yourself in my shoe
tell the world you wouldn’t live as I do.

Chorus
If you see her
if you see her coming
remember your chicken
remember the egg
whichever came first,
they didn’t see it coming
they didn’t see it coming.
If you hear her
if you hear her crying
remember life begins at birth
no one ever feels your hurt.

Bridge
Her life started on Mother’s Day
but she took a turn when her mother passed away
Her father went mad and never found a job
to keep the family from going astray.

Chorus
If you see her
if you see her coming
remember your chicken
remember the egg
whichever came first,
they didn’t see it coming
they didn’t see it coming.
If you hear her
if you hear her crying
remember life begins at birth
no one ever feels your hurt. PEP©

Landslide Mama Africa SB

VERSE 1
If Africa was a land of Side-Chicks, we would all be friends with benefits,

Africa is rich with minerals, but poverty live and die as politics,
if we didn’t have party fillers, we wouldn’t have bounty killers.

Chorus
Landslide, Mama Africa, let we take control
Landslide, Mama Africa, sweepout fassyholes
Landslide, Mama Africa, we’ve been conned too long
Them take us in to kick us out, we’ve got de votes
We vote them in, unite to vote them out
Them have games to win, we all have sins.

Verse 2
We can’t keep swallowing party pills; party politics a ‘make we ill.
We are born with party fever, and doctors don’t have the skill
Everywhere lies are spoken, and they give political tokens.
Just because I’m softly spoken, them think I’m softly opened.

Landslide, Mama Africa, let we take control
Landslide, Mama Africa, sweepout fassyholes

Societies has spoken, religion is broken, elders with hands underneath de table,

Return the party card I’m not voting, as I live and breathe, I’m not joking
I want an Africa that prosper, that’s why voting for the next chapter.

Chorus
Landslide, Mama Africa, let we take control
Landslide, Mama Africa, sweepout fassyholes
Landslide, Mama Africa, we’ve been conned too long
Them take us in to kick us out, we’ve got de votes
We vote them in, unite to vote them out
Them have games to win, we all have sins.

Verse 4
When we vote for dirty politicians, we give guns and bullets to children
then under rainclouds we beg for water, them push hard, we gonna push harder
Capture them before them find religion, capture me before de revolution,
Cause when am done,
Them won’t need absolution, when I’m done, there’ll be no room for confusion.

Bridge
Cutlass chop a day, cutlass chop a night,
them can’t read a day much-less read a night,
I’m gonna make sure what we do a night
don’t raised daylight.

Chorus
Landslide, Mama Africa, let we take control
Landslide, Mama Africa, sweepout fassyholes
Landslide, Mama Africa, we’ve been conned too long

Love Said I am, So I am SB

Chorus
Because love said I am
I am the motivator, I’m no stranger to love
I am a calculator, on space mission to love
I am the inspiration, I wrote the trilogy of love
I am the regulator
I am, because love said I am.

Verse 1
You walked out on love
now your time is gathering dust.
You walked out on love
believing I would be covered in rust
You walked out on me
thinking you were everything I need.
Thinking I would walk your lonely roads
until there was blisters on my feet.

Chorus

I am the motivator, I’m no stranger to love
I am a calculator, on space mission to love
I am the inspiration, I wrote the trilogy of love
I am the regulator
I am, because love said I am.

Verse 2
Walking through the fight I got knocked down,
I was expecting your towel thrown in the ring
you threw a rock, and I got the fxxx knocked out.
I was lightheaded, but baby you can’t keep me for dead,
where a lay my hat is where I lay my head.

Chorus
Because love said I am, I am the motivator
I’m no stranger to love
I am a calculator, on space mission to love
I am the inspiration, I wrote the trilogy of love
I am the regulator
I am, because love said I am.

Verse 3
It took the ghost of a lover to put my life back on track
My next lover is gonna know how I went to Hell and back
Hell was a dark place, but I got you off my back.
Your sunshine was my acute heart attack,
you took my blood, but I kept my love.

Chorus
Because love said I am
I am the motivator, I’m no stranger to love
I am a calculator, on space mission to love
I am the inspiration, I wrote the trilogy of love
I am the regulator
I am, because love said I am.

Love said I am, so I am
Bad blood has moved on
Love said I am, so I am
No rematch, no reruns
I am, because I am.

I am a calculator, on space mission to love
