Dear Diary (Prelude) ft. REZthaPoet Lyrics

The Diary

Year two thousand and something, January 5.

Time is running X3 (background Chant: Asiko yi)

I guess I might need to break the hourglass to catch up

Time is running X3 (background Chant: Asiko yi)

I bet I might to jailbreak the portals if I'm ever going to catch up

Dear diary,

Please hold time,

(Chant: Asiko nyi lo)

Hold time...

(Chant: Asiko nyi lo)

Lost, in the nick of time

This piece of mine, minuscule

Like a piece of mind, minister

This peace of mine – sinister

Like a pessimist reaching prime

The anarchist

Searching for catharsis, seeking time.

Reviewing timestamps for special moments

The time machine submarine, in meditation

On levitation, questioning time

On what led to the resurgence

Where is the trigger?

I'm trying to locate the renaissance,

How did the gentleman become the nigger

Trying to figure, where is the trigger

The gentle man, will become the trigger

African man calling himself Nigger - hmm, okay

Nigger, how are you... Nigger?

Nigger you never left Africa, Nigger

Please hold time, dear diary

Dear diary, please hold time

The whole time, in a capsule

Brother, you-are-not-a-nigger

You are a Blackman

Blackman born in Ilorin,

Born in Ekiti, born in Aba, born in Jos

Erin pa mi, mo gbokiti

Ojigbijigbi,

(Chant: Asiko nyi lo)

Hmmm

Auntie why you dey bleach?

Filled with envy, your veins already show green

E never reach?

Hold time… dear diary

As an ebony, you were such a beauty

Why trade your melanin, Nigger?

You traded your melody

Dear diary, can you relate to this Niggerrrrrrrrr???

(Chant: Asiko nyi lo)

No, I don't know no Nigger, I hold time

But I know Fela Kuti

I don't know no Nigger, I hold time

And I see Dora Akunyili

I don't know no Nigger, but I hold time

And I see the king shine, Sunny Ade

I don't know no Nigger, I hold time

With rules to success and Ebenezer Obey

I don't know no Nigger, I hold time

Just, like Dan Maraya Jos

I don't know no Nigger, I hold time

In High life, like Osadebe

I don't know – no, no Nigger, I hold time

For the sage, who has a son called Poetry

I hold time for you

African man, black yansh

Nigerian backlash

For you, MCskill the supernatural

I hold time

I hold time
