Tales By Moonlight ft. Jibrille & Dele Ayoola Lyrics

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
