M/Lagos I found my life when I laid it down.
Have you ever wished you never embarked on that journey? Have you ever wished you never picked that call? Have you ever wished you never said hello? Have you ever wished you never joined that group? Have you ever wished never attended that meeting? Have you ever wished you never attended that institution? Have you ever wished you didn't say 'I do'? Have you ever wished you never terminated it? Have you ever wished you said no? Well the truth is, as long as you're alive you'll still make more mistakes and you'll still wish you never made them. You may never know how terrible a road is if you have never plied it. Just don't stop believing. Stay positive! Learn from your mistakes and rise above them.

Rise Above Them
I've not set my eyes on you But I know you're beautiful I painted a portrait of you In my heart I can't wait to paint you In reality

You're Beautiful
I watched a fly get stuck in a cobweb The more it tried to get out The more it got entangled in it The frustration was real It reminded me of how many Are stuck in the cobweb of life But one thing was common With everyone who made it out alive Unlike the fly, they stopped trying And started trusting Nobody gets rid of what's on the inside By hurting himself on the outside Trust someone with it

Trust someone with it
There's a woman who bled for a dozen years All she had to console her were her tears But she was made whole when she touched your wears You alone art God This other man was born blind He looked for solution but couldn't find But when you came into the picture sorrows went behind You alone art God There's hope for a tree that is cut down That it will bud again and leave the ground At the scent of water running through the ground You alone art God

The mind of a child Is like a freshly cemented wall Whatever is etched on it Cannot be erased

You Choose
My mama used to tell me Keep moving, don’t stop! She says that all the time But sometimes I wonder What if I stop to ponder? Does it mean I’ve shunned her? What if I’m on a wrong track? Will I find my way back? I’d rather be slow on a right track Than be fast on a wrong one So I said to her Mama, I don’t mean to be rude But I won’t just keep moving I will stop at some points And look at my compass To be sure I’m still on track Because it is not how far but how well
