D.O

There will come a time when you just want to give in

and no, I don’t mean close shop

cos pepper nor dey shade and garri nor dey to chop

not about you eyeing the rat poison “made in Korea”

like it was the next best thing after… otapiapia.

Don’t even go thinking I mean the rope dangling

from the fan waiting to be put to good use

like the thang between the man's leg about to abuse.

Giving in, isn’t always about giving up one’s life....Literally

nor is it about wanting badly to die...metaphorically

or putting your hands on your head and screaming "Chai!!

"I wan Kpia, I nor do again, no be by force"

Well...I’m gonna say it again and again till my voice sound hoarse…ky

It’s a reaction and if not careful, spreads like a virus

Shutting off your immunity, that you may never be seen as desirous

Your white blood cells can’t heal the injuries and bruises

Your lungs have been clogged by the smoke of other’s

telling you what to do and how to do what to do like they know

how to do what to do when to do…Did y’all get that?

cos I sure don’t know why you’d want to listen to them

that don’t even know when to do the do they tell others to do

even if the do slaps them in the face.

And so you give up your very essence and give in to their pretence.

Like a controlled puppet, lemme leave you with this nugget

Do the do how and when you feel like the do should be do..ne

Cos you are the DO….the director of operations of your life

So take control and be the DO.
