the lost and found (paybac x boogey) - tales by moonlight lyrics
[chorus]
asan lori asan
oran lori oran
eni yawo ko san
to tana wajogbon
owo fori sopon
eti wo lo fe gbo
awon oko yanibo
won se iparapo lagbo
won wa fi koriko joba gbogbo igberiko
[verse 1: boogey]
once upon a time lived a crab in a pail
to regulars eyes, looked like they only had him for sale
sometimes, a little homie gon’ shine
but he’s confined.. to an environment
let’s go back to the tale
his conscience told him that the bucket made of hammers
and nails, if you settle for being a nail, you an addict of failure
you gotta risk everything and get your -ss up and sail..
..into danger, aintcha scared of being the snack of a whale
knew he was meant to be greater, not fated to be the main course
friends and family told him, you dreaming a life that ain’t yours
we all will end up packaged on scales
they damage our sh-lls….and cook us
look up you really think that you’ll make it out the bucket, you childish f-ck, you will self-destruct if you try to outshine..
..us, and you prolly suck to the crabs on the outside
you’ll be a bust and be cut from success.. ’cause you cut from the same cloth as us, you trapped in prison thinking you’re stuck less? about time….that you realise.. and be a wiser crustacean
he was like.. answer me, could we arise with such hatred
d-mn i shoulda kept my vision underwraps
now they bitter that this humble crab
thinking that he’s different from the pack
shoulda never shown my light and just hit em with thunder claps
tried to climb to the top and they dragged his exo-skeleton
he fell and then….he regretted ever sharing intelligence
not everyone wants you to live the dreams you telling them

[verse 2: paybac]
he was the biggest tree in the jungle
the village couldn’t cut him down
the king couldn’t cut him down
the witches and the babalawos
whispered about the uncorruptible
seed sown in the underground
a tale searched for for years but never found
forgotten they never cared about
discovered wait till they hear him out
baring strange fruit
something they ain’t seen in ages
something that’ll unify all races
the fruit of good and evil split in half
go on taste it
now go and tell it to the world to different places and faces
tell em pour libation
give some to the gods
let the ladies whine waist
let the drummer drum his drums
it’s a conundrum
when you running from
what you need to be number one
you see the seed needs shine to grow
but needs to grow to shine
and life goes on and on
now i heard mama ebuka used the leaves to make soup and now ebuka has gone to the abroad
i heard mama osan0bua used the branches for firewood and now the doctor said there’s cancer in her lungs
i heard 2 little girls used to steal its fruits
and now ones a lawyer and one’s a loot
it seems like you get what you give as always
now gather in a circle p-ss the pami round while we all say
