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
d-mn 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-gga 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
