Tales By Moonlight (feat. Jibrille & Dele)
Chai
Gather around
Hear the sound
Feel the rhythm
Follow the clap clap clap
Were the palm wine
Bring the bush meat
Cos na tales by moonlight be the talk
The talk don pass were I go talk
But e get person wey sabi the talk
E don pass my power so
The matter e don loud oh
She was told "love your family and daddy comes first always"
And I mean in all ways
So waking up to daddy's body next to hers on some days
Meant keeping all her screams at bay
Coz when mommy hears, mommy says
"Don't you know he's daddy
If the people hear, what's they gon' say about your family"
She's been crying
Judging by her pillowcase
But when she thinks bout what to do
She thinks bout what her daddy says
Says good girl
You know your daddy loves you
Don't be scared, you know it's just us two
Good girl, you know your daddy loves you
And the last time he did
She said I love you too
E don pass my power ooo
Na the talk dem de talk of the thing we de sup
Monkey e de work, baboon e de chop
E get as the mata been sup as I talk
E don pass my power oh
The matter e follow water go
(Ye ye ye ye ye)
These are the
Stories that will never make it to the news
Under the sun they said that there was nothing new
And bad men come in numbers
But the good a few
And if you want to make it out
You gotta pay your dues
But dreams are never given free
Imagination could be the realest thing
No safety net to catch the hunger of a growing beast
And the current sea is moved by currency you see?
Gather the people
Give them a dose of evil
Feed them a lie
Gather their doubts and amplify it
Gather these stories spilling from orifices and lines
Falling in unpleasant places
Let them fall from the Lord's graces
Society another word for conformity
Peers pressuring peers just push 'em off the edge
Feed them doubts of the Lord's divinity
Let them make peace with the hell that they fear
Piece the pieces of these puzzle together
These words will never be spoken on days of fair weather
I fare better knowing these stories never have happy endings
Don't recite this
My mouth is too heavy to say it
So I leave it untold
This life e be things wey de sup (Chai)
Na love we expect but the hate e de top
For the chart wey the life e don tey de give us
E don de pass my power so
The matter e follow water
E follow water
Don de go
Away
