I will ride on your rea–
…soning
I will sit on your su–
…ffering
I will brake on your brea–
…kage
I will soo clout your ca–
…ring
And will lick your lear–
…ning
II
Let me hear the drops of your tears in torrents
Ko, ko, gidim gidim, ko, ko, ko, ko, gidim gidim, hweeeee!
Let the wind of your hurts try uprooting
The trees of my defenses
And see how I kill your efforts
III
I will flake in your fea–
...ring
I will work in your wai–
…ling
I will float in your fra–
…grance
I will run from your rin–
…ging
And paddle your pa–
…tience
IV
Menkɔti a menti
Gyentia dada nyɛ sɔ na
Go and fetch the fires of experience from the lighted oven of Satan
And come try to light the death of your reign
And see how I will spit on your hard work
V
I will rake your ro–
…mance
I will trap your trac–
…king
I will severe your ser–
…ving
I will truncate your tru–
…ths
And haunt your hea–
…ling
VI
It takes great efforts for a donkey to become a dragon
It takes a lot of exercise for a butterfly to become an eagle
It is a near impossibility for a sheep to turn lion
Step once on a testicle in mistakehood
The foolish second time needs a fair battle
So try and touch even the seams of my freedom
And see how I burn your yearning
VII
I will pierce your pea–
…ce
I will hound your ho–
…ping
I will peck your pl–
…ease
I will trash your ten–
…derness
And tear into your tear–
…ing
VIII
These doors are safely locked o!
A padlock of determination
On codes of forward-everness
With a balustrade of independence
So try giving it your best
And see how I arrow your sorrow
IX
I will cook your cro–
…ssing
I will lamp your lo–
…sing
I will brush off your blu–
…shing
I will snow on your soul–
…searching
And tackle your tir–
…ing
X
Even the earth sometimes fumes in quakes
Expert eyes know better to flee
But you flea, you continue to follow the scent of sweets
You try and see how I catapult your ambitious bird
XI
I will fling your fea–
…thers
I will behead your be–
…dding
I will cut and cook your car–
…cass
I will so eat your en–
…ding
To stop you at all cost, you SCOUN–
…DREL!
