about

After being betrayed and doubted by people I extended help to, I wrote this piece to respond to their envious schemes. I sought peace in the situations by the help of God, because I would’ve handled things way differently. Plus, He didn’t call me to fight but to spread light thru my music and with people in general. What Can I Say… God never could allow a Fuhk boy to steal my luck; Thank ya!

lyrics

Uh! Here we go,
It's Koyi On The Mic!

And we blazed another zipper (not anymore. haha)
Say Lamin; Pass The Mic!
Living My Life for the Thrillah
Freedom; don't pass me by!
Been in the booth for a effort
Yah Yah will fortify me.
Been on my feet forever
Yah Yah Yah

Jah Jah protect me in the frenzy
let none of my friends them turn out for pretend.

I take what's mine straight from the sky
An angel told me to watch my back
Say I'm paranoid? That's not the fact
Baby I come from Abidjan. Third World I thank you so much!
Never could allow a fxck boy to steal my luck
These streets shown me way to much/right from wrong
OGs shown me right from left.
So give me what's mine, and hit the left!
African soldier, I rise with the mud
Been in the trenches. I move with the guts
I move with the spirit; Heaven hold my light!
[it] could make a hater sight blind x2

So give me the juice Lord!
Yeah
I couldn't thank you enough!
Yah yah yah yah

In ya neighborhood girls love me like Jamaica's favorite don
Ain't got a lot up in my pockets but I look like your favorite one
All the clothes am wearing...
"oh the girls he got"... Everything that I despised.
All you do with ya men's straight gossip
See ya at the Light. You thought you'd cross me
Talkin...
How I was raised, if voices was raised, we boxin
You stallin.
Ya mans can't help you, they not solid.
They laughin cause if I start problem, you can't solve it
'til I stop!
[so] keep the peace! don't think you heard me
Give me what's mine & walk. Don't worry!

What can I say... You're welcome

My prayers go up for you love
My prayers go up for you love

My prayers go up for you love
'Cause everything I got comes from above.
Lord! Help me focus my eyes on what I need!
I thank You for what you done revealed to me:
Love for my friends & my family
Jah will provide more than money, trees
I need You to combat the jealousy
All kinds of hindering energies
Keep my mind deep in humility
I sing Hallelujah in misery
Remember the days with no food to eat?
Still had to move along to the beat
Still had to catch up to the speed
Tried to satisfy people needs with proverbs I mainly need for me:
There's nothing better than this inner PEACE.
Thank You.
