Qoheleth (from "Chasing Ghosts" single)

Teacher my teacher I need a good teacher
Half way around da world if I could meet ya
Speeches my sister gave to my lil nieces
Friday night popping that's when she feel weakness
Wisdom she crying from the high place
Whispers they dripping lips on a hot date
Friendship and kisses mixing is not safe
Don't put yourself in a position where she could cry rape
Lord please forgive me, you see that I'm defensive
I see she just trying to help me to make the right decisions
I see she just trying to help me weigh the offers
Gauge all my gains and losses to hold me back from the consequences
This is the art of war, boy
Wisdom charting my course, boy
Let me sharpen my sword
Pass me the ball I'ma leave it all on the floor

Rewind selecta
They don't know what's up
See these kids everyday they be acting up
Pikin way say him mama no go hear word
That pikin must to hear word
Ogbeni gbagbe osi
Farabale moni o
Gbagbe osi
I say make you calm down
Gbagbe osi
Farabale moni o
Say you get beards no be sense, oh

Teacher my teacher I see the hearse leaving
She told me experience was the worst teacher
She told me I should be living my best life but
It's not enough to wear chapter and verse T-shirts
When she start speaking you know you stop and listen
When she start speaking you know the plot has thickened
The players might change but the game stays the same
She told me the new rappers need a father figure
Big bro big Homie I'm here for it
I felt responsible when I cleared 40
They be like such and such took your spot
I be like, I don't really buy into that kind of paranoia
This is the art of war
Wisdom charting my course
Let me sharpen my sword
Pass me the ball, I'ma leave it all on the floor

Rewind selecta
They don't know what's up
See these kids everyday they be acting up
Pikin way say him mama no go hear word
That pikin must to hear word
Ogbeni gbagbe osi
Farabale moni o
Gbagbe osi
I say make you calm down
Gbagbe osi
Farabale moni o
Say you get beards no be sense, oh
