Voices feat. Efya

Chorus
I hear voices whisper my name
Can you hear them, all that they say
I will be more than you thought I could be
And these voices
I hear voices and things of that nature
That's not unlike a prophet receiving divine favor
Expected like that prophet that's promised in Isaiah
I struggle to wear the crown I'm in need of a size greater
If I'm doing this at all it's nothing besides major
We're in it for the profit, the plot is to buy acres
So tell your CEO when he's ready to f**k with Poe
He can call me up on the phone cos I'm ready to sign papers
My path is on display look at that good view
Think of my MBA maybe put it to good use
See I have to ask myself when I think of an office life
Could I give up being a rapper, there's only a good few, you see
Yeah
I'm pretty sure, you can check attendance
I'm not in their class we don't even share a common entrance
I don't say this to be rude when I'm sitting in my room I just listen and I swear I hear voices
I hear voices whisper my name
Can you hear them, all that they say
I will be more than you thought I could be
And these voices
I been told about life you have to pay your own way
So I'm hated at Julius Berger coz I paved my own way
Look, I told my fam that I have to hold 'em down
Till we all carry pounds, I mean the type you don't weigh
Some things I don't say, even though I'm meant to be going for the top right? like a well taken penalty
Voices! have me thinking that I'm quite dope I know this s**t I'm smoking is not the reason for these high hopes
My girl is worried, she always says that I don't sleep enough
My manager keeps calling telling me that I'm not deep enough
Adding to the pressure as if the climb isn't steep enough
But he's just hoping that I keep it up
Truly Poe, for you not to blow we can't afford it this year
Forget about an album it's not important this year
They can't walk in your shoes coz they're imported this year
Still I find you in your room saying, “Chin, really man, I hear voices”
I hear voices whisper my name
Can you hear them, all that they say
I will be more than you thought I could be
And these voices
I hear!

*DOUBLE HOMICIDE INTERLUDE Feat. Ghost
Poe’s Verse
Is this about to be another double homicide
Everything you think is dope, n***a I personify
Yeah, I personify, eating rappers all the time
You know mo ti je un tan when I leave my fork inside
Baby I don’t have the time we cannot afford to fight
I’ll be going in till I throw it in at 45
Okay lemme show you, you should come around in 45
Meet me at the level where the others haven’t qualified
I don’t have to quantify the rapper’s that I nullify
It’s easy being dope when the rest of them are borderline
Man I really love it when they talk about Poe
But I know it’s all pride and I really have to swallow mine
See this girl, you gon really have to swallow mine
If you gonna do it, baby do it with an open mind
Bad enough you putting in the work likes it’s overtime
Sending pictures to his phone so why the hell you calling mine?
Ghost’s Verse
Man there you go again Poe always hogging all the shine
This dude stays getting all the dimes
Bet you these glorified hype men listening are mortified by how this beat was getting sodomized
Yet while they loligag
Barely scratching the surface like body rash
Doing their latest musical versions of a Ponzi scam
In comes Ghost the polymath, to put the beat in a body bag
With bars known to arrest the cardiac
Respect my n***a that's all we ask
Not to be slept on like a vampire who's an insomniac
Hate to brag but any kid who got our autograph Should feel honoured coz it's gonna become an artefact
Word to Rélé this is the art of rap
Attempting the Dbrown dunk is closest I'll get to trynna dab
Since its TAP season Poe you can put this on the tab
Though it's homegrown n****s think it's an imported draft
Oh lawd I'm hot as a blow torch
It’s like I'm chillin on Mars and I sent a postcard And the flows so vivid it could be in folklore
But most wouldn't get the picture even if they posed for it
See I got that work but really it's no chore
Slippin these niggas the middle finger to choke on Double homicide hommie yeah this is the post mortem
Login off narco Ghost man the dope boi
(Iyama)

FALLING Feat. Tems
High on me baby cos you light up on it
Eyes on me baby when you whine upon it
die for you baby put my life upon it
Ride for me baby you know I must admit
When you do like that
You make me wan move right back
Why can’t we move time back
Why can’t we do like that
If I was Moses I’ll part seas and move mountains Your heart bleeds for a new accountant, coz it was stolen
I should’ve taken more care when I stepped up to be the one that you had chosen
I wish we could go back, but time doesn’t care about missed opportunities, or lies we both use
Or the price of the queen that I lost in two moves
I wanna kiss the scar even though I left the bruise on your heart
My name is on your Lips
And I see you everywhere I go!
And baby if I slip
Would you save me when I’m falling
Save me when I’m falling
Even when I’m all in
They don’t make love like this no more
Answer when I’m calling
Come around my way
Don’t leave just stay
I don’t wanna make the same mistakes, yeah
Save me when I’m falling
High for my baby cos you light up on it
Eyes on me baby when you whine upon it
Die for you baby put my life upon it
Ride for me baby you know I must admit
I made mistakes, I can’t forget it
I felt your love, it’s incandescence
Nothing’s changed except addresses
One song can’t hold all my confessions
But it’s not enough though
We should have stayed exclusive like country club though
I held on to excuses, it’s time to let go
Coz immature games are for old Nintendo’s
I,
I had to realize sometimes falling is the biggest step that we ever take
All I need is a leap of faith
Save me when I’m falling
Even when I’m all in
They don’t make love like this no more
Answer when I’m calling
Come around my way
Don’t leave just stay
I don’t wanna make the same mistakes, yeah
Save me when I’m falling
High on me baby cos you light up on it
Eyes on me baby when you whine upon it
die for you baby put my life upon it
Ride for me baby you know I must admit
When you do like that
You make me wan move right back
Why can’t we move time back
Why can’t we do like that
Come around my way
Don’t leave just stay
I don’t wanna make the same mistakes, yeah
Come around my way
Don’t leave just stay
I don’t wanna make the same mistakes, yeah

MOOD
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeh
What would grime sound like if you couldn't say man?
Hip Hop sound like if you couldn't say n***a?
Afrobeats sound like if you couldn’t say whine?
I think of dumb ass shit half the gad damn time?
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood
It's just the mood (mood)
It feels so good o
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood
It's just the mood (mood)
It feels so good o
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood I’m in (mood)
It's just the mood I’m in (mood)
Yeah yeah
It's just the mood
Wish I could pull a frank ocean and just disappear
Return like a sequel and dye out my hair
I'm labeled alternative cos the alternatives
want to be mainstream and not pioneers
Yeah, I’ll drop a project this year
yeah, I'll chop your budget this year
Yeah, Like Bungee jumping off of Eko bridge just to prove I can still conquer my fears
That's just the mood I'm in
You can assume I've been
To hell and back
Well in fact I never leave lagos since I got back
I pray that my sanity stays intact
I feel like profanity is all I have
I feel like i'm literally turning into a genre cos lately I'm feeling trapped
I give in to all of my appetites
And take a big bite of that savage life
And as I go deeper and deeper
It’s sweeter when I mix my demons with bad advice
Okay maybe that’s bad advice
We can spark up and light a vibe
What would grime sound like if you couldn't say man?
Hip Hop sound like if you couldn't say n***a?
Afrobeats sound like if you couldn’t say whine?
I think of dumb ass shit half the gad damn time?
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood
It's just the mood (mood)
It feels so good o
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood
It's just the mood (mood)
It feels so good o
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
(You know the mood I’m in) (mood)
It's just the mood I’m in (mood, mood)
(You know the mood I’m in)
Yeah
Tonight I’m in the mood to catch it all on camera
Yesterday I felt like dissing other rappers
I got your text but forgot to reply
Actually that’s such a lie
I read it and thought not tonight
Instead of just sex and a fight
I would rather have a deep conversation right in the inner living room of my mind
Like
Are half of these people really intelligent
Celebrating that fake shit like it’s genuine
That’s the pot calling the kettle blacker than melanin
Cos I too dumb my shit down for relevance
Then again that's just the way it goes
That’s just the weight it holds
That’s just the sacrifice when dreams are worth twice your soul
Na so the ting go
Lost in my zone
It’s time to come home
Where do we go
What would grime sound like if you couldn't say man?
Hip Hop sound like if you couldn't say n***a?
Afrobeats sound like if you couldn’t say whine?
I think of dumb ass shit half the gad damn time?
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood
It's just the mood (mood)
It feels so good o
It's just the mood I'm in (mood)
It's just the mood
It's just the mood (mood)
It feels so good o

WIN WIN (OF COZ)
Yeah
But you knew that
LADIPOE
Yea
Otee
Otee
Otee
I got some blood in my eye
I see the love and the lies
I see the people that you’re looking up to looking for a different disguise
I gotta a piece of the pie
I want a piece of your pie
I see some people spending Arab money though they’ve never been to Dubai
Middle finger to the sky
That’s a political sign
Kanye went crazy
I might just maybe
I know it's a side effect
Of fake love, all the fake love
I can’t stand the taste of
I’m doing this for the sake of
Day one’s (of course)
T.A.P (of course)
Yeah man (of course)
Mainland (of course)
No light (of course)
On gen (of course)
Amen (of course)
Win win (by force)
I’ve gotten better since the genesis
It’s funny when people say deh-veh-lope
Showing love to all my relatives
With money inside of an envelope
Do I want to be another dot beside another dot inside a telescope?
Or do I want to be the biggest independent star to gets to sign Davido?
LOL (of course)
Big dreams (of course)
Drip drip (of course)
Chop life (of course)
No light (of course)
On gen (of course)
Amen (of course)
Win win (by force)
Getting caught up in the wave now
God and money are the same now
I learnt to drive in Lagos city so you know I’m never sticking to my lane now
We never bother to explain how
Only spark up spark up
Gotta mark up mark up
Money by any means now
You hustle like me that’s a fallacy
Hungry as me when my daily bread based on much more than just waiting for salary
Now that I’m ready to eat (yah)
you better start watching your calories (yah)
Save your blessings for your allergies (oou)
What I won’t do for my sanity
What I would do for my family
Life ain’t easy but still we all want shout zaga dat
Life is too short and we still want more life after that
I’d rather greet police before I need an ambulance
So when this shit comes on I show dem, show dem how to dance
Shut down (of course)
Show time (of course)
Sold out (of course)
Gang gang (of course)
Long live (of course)
All night (of course)
Your girlfriend (of course)
On time (of course)
LOL (of course)
Big dreams (of course)
Drip drip (of course)
Chop life (of course)
No light (of course)
We on gen (of course)
Amen (of course)
Win win (by force)
Life ain’t easy but still we all want shout zaga dat
Life is too short and we still want more life after that

HELLO, GOODBYE Feat. Sir Dauda
Hello Hello, goodbye
You must have called my name a thousand times by now
You try, you try, you try, and even though your heart pretends it’s over
I know it’s hard to mend, but you can’t forget this love
I admit I was confused in my days growing up
My grades like my jeans, in time I had to pull em up
That's the thing about life we soon forget to live it up.
There's a part of us that dreams, I just hope we keep in touch, and so
Baby please don't vex, did you read those texts?
You want me home but I'm pretty sure we need those checks
Let me be whoever I'm gonna be
Hiding behind personas it simply won't work for me.
I am Poe! And women you know that you are my lady
Your dad and I share a name and one day we'll share a baby, you and I
You tell me, "boy, I know your talents are used to tipping the scale, but lately u need balance”, and it’s true
My brother hmm, he thinks he's clever, says that he's 6’ 3
He looks up to me whenever he needs a little advice
He says he’ll always feels better, I know you'll travel the world but home is still in Ikeja
Hello Hello, goodbye
You must have called my name a thousand times by now
You try, you try, you try, and even though your heart pretends it’s over
I know it’s hard to mend, but you can’t forget this love
There’s no one left to lie to, I admit I cry too
Did you know the use for pillows was to dry your tears at night?
I’ve lost the biggest voices I rely on for advice
How I wish the pain was just a file that I could overwrite
Sometimes you have to let things go, I hate goodbyes!
Money never fills that hole with what it could buy
They came down and took your soul and I just stood by
But living with regrets plus rent that’s huge price
It’s like gravity has shifted
Like a weight on me has lifted
So much life in every minute
We just go ahead and live it oo
There’s no bandage that can heal the pain
I know there’s baggage, but not all of it is yours to claim
Yeah, we just have let it go
Goodbye is how we greet before we get a chance to say hello

REVIVAL
I don’t care about your top fives
Your metaphors or the cup size of the babe you swear you’re not blaming
Who loves all my punchlines
When I’m right by the front line attacking my goals like a false 9
What is my consine with rappers half as dope as Simi all looking so one kain
They’re like stars in the sunshine - invisible
People used to say that streets ti takeover
But the waits over
This shitor sure to make you shift your plate over
Food for thought enough to contemplate over
sh*t, man we need to changeover
What is that odour?
Smelling like ether
Every bar I’m raising gasoline meters
Singers losing keys to auto tune dealers
And rappers dying off from Afrobeats fever
I swear
You want some ignorance and laughter
Your babe pulled in on Friday quite late, 2AM the morning after
I’m bad at pulling out but with really good aim she might need the morning after
You wanna try me that is unlikely
Your family be mourning after
I kill you all dead
Leave the message unread
Then a n***a close the chapter
read it it all Thisday Style
A black boy with an off white smile
A black in all off white there’s none like me and I might just follow back cos I’m online now
Or act like my ego and come right down
To the revival
Yo
And to my I just got backs
Make sure you buy sense o
You need more than just white friends o
You’ll be chilling in your own lane
Trying to do your own thing
Over here dem no get license o
They just dey swerve anyhow
Everybody on a wave
Use that word anyhow
Any girl with small curves just dey curve anyhow
I chill with quiet types men you know dem guys that don’t preserve any loud
I hope I’ve curbed any doubt
The last of a dying breed man and the rest don’t deserve any crowns (oooouu shots)
But this is the REVIVAL
I’m gonna make so many proud
