Suté - Walls of Benin lyrics

[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 n***a 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 [Fela Excerpt]
