This week, there is no theme, so I decided to do a freestyle with rap to Eminem's song titled **"Stan"** featuring "*Dido*".

Enjoy...

*Lyrics*:

*[Intro: Dido]

My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can’t see at all

And even if I could it’d all be gray

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad*

*[Chorus: Dido]

My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can’t see at all

And even if I could it’d all be gray

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad*

*[Verse 1: Eminem]

Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'

I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom

I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em

There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

But anyways, ... ..., what's been up, man? How's your daughter?

My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father

If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?

I'ma name her Bonnie

I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry

I had a friend ... ... over some ... who didn't want him

I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan

I even got the underground ... that you did with Skam

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man

I like the ... you did with Rawkus too, that ... was phat

Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back

Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan*

*[Chorus: Dido]

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad*

*[Verse 2: Eminem]

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance

I ain't mad, I just think it's ... ... you don't answer fans

If you didn't want to talk to me outside your concert, you didn't have to

But you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old

We waited in the blisterin' cold

For you, for four hours, and you just said no

That's pretty ..., man, you're like his ... idol

He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do

I ain't that mad, though I just don't like bein' lied to

Remember when we met in Denver?

You said if I'd write you, you would write back

See, I'm just like you in a way: I never knew my father neither

He used to always cheat on my mom ... ... ...

I can relate to what you're sayin' in your songs

So when I have a ... day, I drift away and put 'em on

‘Cause I don't really got ... else

So that ... helps when I'm depressed

I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest

...

It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me

See, everything you say is real, and I respect you ‘cause you tell it

My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7

But she don't know you like I know you, Slim, no one does

She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up

You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

Sincerely yours, Stan—P.S. We should be together too*

*[Chorus: Dido]

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad*

*[Verse 3: Eminem]

Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans

This'll be the last package I ever send your ...

It's been six months, and still no word—I don't deserve it?

I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

So this is my cassette I'm sendin' you, I hope you hear it

I'm in the car right now, I'm doin' 90 on the freeway

Hey, Slim..., you dare me to drive?

You know the song by Phil Collins, "In The Air of The Night"

About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from ...

But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?

That's kinda how this is: you coulda rescued me from ...

Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now—I'm drowsy

And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall

I loved you, Slim, we coulda been together—think about it!

You ruined it now, ...sleep and you dream about it

And when you dream ...sleep and you scream about it

...

See, Slim—shut up, ... I'm tryin' to talk

Hey, Slim...

But... —see? I ain't like you

...

Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now

Oh, ..., I forgot—how am I supposed to send this ... out?!*

*[Chorus: Dido]

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I

Got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad*

*[Verse 4: Eminem]

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I just been busy

You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

And here's an autograph for your brother; I wrote it on a Starter cap

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

Don't think I did that ... intentionally just to diss you

But what's this ... you said about you like...

I say that ... just clownin', dawg, come on, how ... ... is you?

You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counselin'

To help your ... from ... off the walls when you get down some

And what's this ... about us meant to be together?

That type'll make me not want us to meet each other

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

Or maybe you just need to treat her better

I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time

Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine

If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you, but Stan

Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan

I just don't want you to do some crazy ...

I seen this one ... on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

Some dude ... ... ... drove his car over a bridge

...she was pregnant with his kid

And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to

Come to think about it, his name was—it was you

Damn...*

This is me going down the memory lane with the song I always come home to on the radio from Primary School... Country music is also a classic classy tune that transcends from old to an important genre of music.

I am sharing this wonderful oldie from way back titled **"Just Because I Am In Love With You"** by *"Don Williams"*

Enjoy...

*Lyrics*:

*It's true, you’ve got me going, 'round in circles

You keep me so darned dizzy, I could cry

But every time you hurt me, I grow a little stronger

I'll soon be strong enough to say goodbye.*

*It will be so good to smile

Gee, it's been a long, long while

After all that I've been through

Just 'cause I'm in love with you.

But there will come a day, you'll see

You won't have control of me

You can't hurt me like you do

Just 'cause I'm in love with you.*

*--- Instrumental ---*

*I'll ask, whatever saint looks after lovers

I'll ask, would you please look after me

And would you kindly hear my prayer,

And have a little mercy?

Please, if she doesn't love me, set me free.*

*It will be so good to smile

Gee, it's been a long, long while

After all that I've been through

Just 'cause I'm in love with you

But there will come a day, you'll see

You won't have control of me

You can’t hurt me like you do

Just 'cause I'm in love with you...*

Today, I bring you a wonderful song I was introduced to in 2003 by one of my roommates in 100 Level then. He played the song as it just came out and I fell in love with that song since then.

The title of the song is **"White Flag"** by *"Dido"*. I hope you also enjoy the song and the performance as well.

*Lyrics*:

**"White Flag"**

*I know you think that I shouldn't still love you

Or tell you that

But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it

Where's the sense in that?*

*I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder

Or return to where we were*

*But I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be*

*I know I left too much mess and destruction

To come back again

And I caused nothing but trouble

I understand if you can't talk to me again*

*And if you live by the rules of "it's over"

Then I'm sure that that makes sense*

*I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be*

*And when we meet

Which I'm sure we will

All that was there

Will be there still

I'll let it pass

And hold my tongue

And you will think

That I've moved on*

*I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be*

*I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be*

*I will go down with this ship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

There will be no white flag above my door

I'm in love and always will be*

Speaking about pain, there are some pains that are etched in the heart even when someone seem to have moved on from it. That's th story of this artist with the lyrics...speaking of the pain in the past and how he has moved past it but the pain is still there based on past experience.

The title of this song is "We Did It When We Were Young" by The Gaslight Anthem.

*Lyrics*

"We Did It When We Were Young"

*Don't write me no more letters, my mailbox is full of bombs

Between you and the kooks on my block

I don't remember the good times, I wasn't there when you were kind

And my wife had some dogs in our yard*

*And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty gun

We were strangers many hours and I missed you for so long

When we were liars, lovers in combat

Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned*

*But I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young*

*There are no reasons to believe, I buried my faith in another plot

Where your heart and your claws will not find

And I don't feel you or recall, I put your bones out in the yard

For someone else to be called and caught by*

*And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty gun

We were strangers many hours and I missed you for so long

When we were liars, lovers in combat

Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned*

*But I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young*

*I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young*

This song is titled "What A Wonderful World" by "Louis Armstrong". This is one amazing classic song and it's evergreen.

I love the words and the amazing view the singer have of the world. Indeed, your perception shapes your reality. How do you see the world? What do you wish to see in the world? Indeed, it's a wonderful world...

**Lyrics:**

*"What A Wonderful World"*

*I see trees of green

Red roses too

I see them bloom

For me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world*

*I see skies of blue

And clouds of white

The bright blessed day

The dark sacred night

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world*

*The colors of the rainbow

So pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces

Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands

Saying, "How do you do?"

They're really saying

"I love you"*

*I hear babies cry

I watch them grow

They'll learn much more

Than I'll never know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world*

*Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Oh yeah*

To represent Nigeria and Africa in this competition based on the theme of the week is "Is This Love" by Bob Marley. I want to believe as Nigerians and Africans, we love deeply and easily. We don't always look or behave like what we have been through, so we feel deeply. What comes from the heart touches the heart.

"Is This Love" - "Bob Marley and The Wailers"

**Lyrics:**

*I wanna love you

And treat you right

I wanna love you

Every day and every night

We'll be together

With a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter

Of my single bed

We'll share the same room, yeah

For Jah provide the bread*

*Is this love? Is this love? Is this love?

Is this love that I'm feeling?

Is this love? Is this love? Is this love?

Is this love that I'm feeling?

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now

I got to know, got to know, got to know now

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I, I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table*

*I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat

Love and treat you right

I wanna love you

Every day and every night

We'll be together, yeah

With a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh-yeah

Of my single bed

We'll share the same room, yeah

For Jah provides the bread*

*Is this love? Is this love? Is this love?

Is this love that I'm feeling?

Is this love? Is this love? Is this love?

Is this love that I'm feeling?

Wo-o-o-oah

Oh, yes, I know; yes, I know, yes, I know now

Oh, yes, I know; yes, I know, yes, I know now

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I, I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table*

*See, I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat you

Love and treat you right

I wanna love you

Every day and every night

We'll be together

With a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter

Of my single bed

We'll share the same room, yeah

Jah provides the bread*

*We'll share the shelter

Of my single bed

We'll share the same room*

*I connect with your emotions and stir you up to greater feelings. What comes from the heart touches the heart and it's okay to feel. Love is such a feeling you feel when you feel you are feeling a feeling like you have never felt before.* - **Olawalium.**

This song is by "Three Doors Down" and titled, "Here Without You".

Enjoy it...

**"Here Without You"**

*A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face*

*I'm here without you, baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, it's only you and me, yeah*

*The miles just keep rolling

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go

Oh yeah, yeah*

*I'm here without you, baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me, yeah*

*Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard, but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls

When it's all said and done

It gets hard, but it won't take away my love

Whoa, oh, oh*

*I'm here without you, baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

Yeah

Oh, yeah*

Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week 8 - Red Red Wine.

The theme for this week is 1960 and it took me back in time to this classic and ever green song by UB40 titled "Red Red Wine".

I love everything about this song...the tune, the rhythm and the flow of the song makes it dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy it and if you haven't heard of this before, here is an opportunity to know this classic song. Enjoy it...

**RED RED WINE BY UB40**

*Red red wine

Goes to my head

Makes me forget that I...

Still need her so*

*Red red wine

It's up to you

All I can do, I've done

Memories won't go

Memories won't go*

*I'd have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you would leave my head

I was wrong, now I find

Just one thing makes me forget*

*Red red wine

Stay close to me

Don't let me be alone

It's tearing apart

My blue heart*

*I'd have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you would leave my head

I was wrong, now I find

Just one thing makes me forget*

*Red red wine

Stay close to me

Don't let me be alone

It's tearing apart

My blue, blue heart*

Another one of my classics is this song. I love every aspect of this song ever since I heard the song from one of my favourite movies of all time; Armageddon. I made it a duty to find the song through Shazam then and learned about the song fully. It has been one of my favourites since.

The title of the song is "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith. You will love even the original version of this song...away from my own showcase. Enjoy...

"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"

(from "Armageddon" soundtrack)

*I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure*

*Don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*'Cause even when I dream of you (Even when I dream)

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together

And I just wanna stay with you

In this moment forever, forever and ever*

*I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*'Cause even when I dream of you (Even when I dream)

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*I don't wanna miss one smile

I don't wanna miss one kiss

Well, I just wanna be with you

Right here with you, just like this*

*I just wanna hold you close

I feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time*

*Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah!*

*Don't wanna close my eyes

Don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*'Cause even when I dream of you (Even when I dream)

The sweetest dream would never do

I'd still miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*I don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep

'Cause I'd miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*'Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream would never do

And I'd still miss you, baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing*

*Don't wanna close my eyes

I don't wanna fall asleep, yeah

I don't wanna miss a thing*

Vibes Web3 music competition week 6 - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free.

This song is by the Lighthouse Family and it was my go to while growing up. A song about endless release...that freedom we all seek. There are always so many possibilities that happens within the confine of our head...we can be anywhere in our head and that joy that comes from making possibilities happen in our head cannot be overemphasized

I love this song and I hope you love it too. The melody...the wordings...the delivery and flow by the original singer would get you glued. I really hope I tried hahaha at least deliver even if it is 10% of his original work hahaha.

Enjoy it...

*I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I could break all the chains holding me

I wish I could say all the things that I should say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear*

*I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove all the bars that keep us apart

And I wish you could know how it feels to be me

Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free*

*I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea

And I'd sing cause I know how it feels to be free*

*I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I could break all the chains holding me

And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear*

*One love one blood

One life you've got to do what you should

One life with each other

Sisters, brothers*

*One love but we're not the same

We got to carry each other

Carry each other

One One One One One...*

*I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free*
