That Christmas Night
when three wise men came all to town
to a new born king they offered crown
the manger was the star they sight
and they followed well till there
thus it was that christmas night
sabina thought us some xmas song
ode and co all sang it so wrong
just a few we knew did it right
all we then knew was fun to have
thus it was that christmas night
santa came to zodiac stayed for long
that even Dan too had to come along
babies to their mothers held on tight
so the end of it was gift to home
thus it was that christmas night
we three kings the carols read
as it lingers on children feeds

I knew this man
i knew this man some years ago
dearly beloved by four and two
back to fro his love went too
five of five he was and served
so to him a reward well deserved
I knew this man some years ago
worked the woods and suffered stings
lo among the rich he lives and pings
to whom benevolence was a reflex

You Loved Him More
we stayed out late to count the stars
where maga men would park their cars
the cold outside we do care less for
where was charles then all along
i loved you but you loved him more
i neva thought we'd end like this
all we shared was kiss and bliss
that purple robe, that one i tore
then michael came to tear another
i loved you but you loved him more
ben was there but i came from behind
can't erase those nights from my mind
i bought you silk, he bought you fur
believe me we still call one another
i loved you but you loved him more
from his camry car you waved at me
those smiles you gave won't let me be

Far Was Peace And Trouble Nigh
far was peace and trouble nigh
nation east of Niger sought to split
for a new nation hope was high
as one nation they chose not to use
three years gone came a truce no refuse
far was peace and trouble nigh
gentleman Abu TB was chilled on sit
and just before we took a relief sigh
there was another Dodan baracks kill
whose bad we all now suffer still
far was peace and trouble nigh
flames of discord all over were lit
even tribal tension rose to the sky
as MKO fought in vain for a mandate
what we saw was bloodshed on that date

Many Ladies
she rings my line before i go to sleep
and whenever i wake it was by her beep
i guess she wants an equal response
but for her sake i can not leave my studies
she was just one, one of my many ladies
her former man was looney steve
all those men she swore to leave
i showed her love twice or once
fired mervis and did leave gladys
she was just one, one of my many ladies
i swear i did not break her heart
sent her flowers full truck or cart
no carnal knowledge, not even once
yet all her beus offered their bodies
she was just one, one of my many ladies
some day her fury sent her ex to hell
threatened me with sword not to tell

In Kharytass
In kharytass she is the sweetest to behold
Do not let her go like the best of gold
though i never heard even her voice
unknown to me why she opens my choice
just how this thoughts can't let me be
In kharytass she is the sweetest damsel to hold
presents to me a test to be bold
Why won't i want to learn her poise
Why won't i want to shut all noise
Just to listen to her talk to me
In kharitass she is the sweetest yet not cold
Watching while i rest with my arms fold
Those starry eyes the spark of diamond
Those very lips the smack of almond
Just be calm my soul and let fate be
In kharytass she is too priceless to be sold
Remains a love story yet to be told

Lady Vee
i asked lady vee please that we may see
then you appeared with that weird hair
but not without showing that stired flair
i could use that hug for eternity
and not fuse over it for immotality
we love lady vee and she loves the glee
i guess she acquired the sweet sultry voice
so that mankind can do without such noise
if i may ask who gave you your skills
then i may ask who gave fishes gills
ever wooed lady vee she stung like a bee
you unbelieved in love it rung from above
i soon believe it like a truth from a dove
no lips ever lied to me this way
no hips ever made me wanna stay
i cherish lady vee yea i value thee
what you worth is not in pound

From Whence I Found This Love
From nine Oni street a nascent baby cried
To his vital needs the modest family tried
Despite luxury and wants placed above
How would I ever ever forget this place
From whence I found this love.
Maku Maza was the King on the saddle
Bringing me up this way good from cradle
To a perfect gentleman, a lion and a dove
How would I ever ever forget his face
From whence I found this love.
To the dungeon and palace she had been
The faces of slaves and kings she had seen
Virtuous was Philo and charming at the stove
How would I ever ever forget her grace
From whence I found this love.
Peace was the watchword even in a storm
From 'lere to 'time to Ijegun it takes all form
