Lyrical Assassin

The Lyrical Assassin
You don't wanna mess with him

Here I stand firm

Deleting daunting doubt; tumbling walls

Of fear, taking trophies on my own terms—

Defying consequences, kicking Fate in the balls.

Here I stand firm

Skillfully slugging opposition’s industrious crew.

Constantly chasing down fools with clear intent to bring harm

Annihilating every appearance of a threat with tried tools.

Here I stand firm

My position locked and confirmed

Aiming lethal verbs about 9mm in your direction,

Pumping my Glocks pushing you to the verge of extinction.

Here I stand firm

To whom it may concern:

I stand true

And I shall not be moved.

She Got Game

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!
Photo credit: Radio Nigeria Online

Snug as a slug in a Glock,

She drops in like a bomb

And steps across the threshold.

She’s a wonder to behold.

She don’t break stride or cringe in fear,

They all fall down as she comes near.

Screams of jubilation tear the air;

She just turned 52 but her charms conceal the years.

Now who dares step to her when she mount the stage?

‘Cause if you’re game, she’s same.

She done trade her shame for grace;

She’s bad;

She got game.

Cooked as a book with a good hook;

She breezes in like a spook

And marks her place as a rule.

She faces competition and cooks their goose.

She don’t stumble when she scores a hat trick,

Why, she been at it more than half a century.

All her children sing, Nigeria, ‘Tis of Thee!

For one more season, she triumphed as one winning team.

Now who dares step to her when she climb the stage?

‘Cause if you’re game, she’s same.

She done trade her shame for grace.

Oh mama! Ain’t she game!

She’s bad and

She got game.
