STOP GUN CRIMES!!!

Your hommies wanna party all night
Hang around street corners to make cool cash
Peddle drugs and carry knife
twon't be long you gain friend
twon't be long before they become enemies

it was cool when you hang out
having a laugh with the hommies
must admmit the army ain't that cool
but your swoop with the gang is worse
worse than thorn and frogy for dinner

Not long before you get the first AK
Not long before you meddle with the petties
And you start to dream of a big swoop
I mean you cause fright but...
You soon gain on the next hit list
Your Hommies don't like school
they'd someday ask for change on street sides

If they are lucky to reach 40
Your hommies carry Ak
Your hommies soon be in trouble

Now it seem cool to smoke sh*t
with the boys in tin can island
Your hommies don't like you
You really want more out of your life
Why waste time doing f**kall

Back out when you can
Now is the time to drop the luger
Go to college get some wisdom
Give your poor soul a real life
It deserve more than 25years in the world

tunde's concert in manchester


I enjoy listening, watching and collecting music. I’ve done this for as long as I can remember and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. Nevertheless, for someone who claim to enjoy music as much as I do, it is questionable whether I am a true music lover as I’ve never been in a live concert—until lately. This all changed a few weeks ago when I decided to go and see Tunde, ex-member of the lighthouse family.
The lighthouse family has been a delight to many music lovers over the years and I especially; I’ve always loved their music. One can imagine the shock of fans when the family split up few years ago. However, by a stroke of luck, I stumble across a website owned by Tunde, the vocalist of the lighthouse family advertising his first concert in over four years. I was thrilled by the news and instantly decided to go and see him. Armed with my ticket, which I got a few days before, I set out on the tram to the Lowry, where the concert was going to take place. The wind threatened as I set out and I began to think that the show might be called off due to bad weather. I was overjoyed when on getting there; I discovered that the show was still on schedule.
Lighthouse family in their days was top of the league, but knowing this didn’t prepare me for the sight that awaited me. The lounge was filled with people waiting to get in the concert hall, most of who seemed to have arrived in Porsches. There were uniformed people offering advice to people who were in need of them. When we were finally shown into the concert hall, I was awed at the beauty, it was mostly red and the stage was well lit patiently waiting for the arrival of the maestro. People gently settled in and waited patiently. Opening the show was Catherine Feene, who had done a duet with Tunde on his last album. As I listened to her sing, I utterly forgot that she wasn’t the main act of the day; indeed she was a great singer.
When Tunde finally made his way to the stage, it was to a loud applause and a standing ovation. And as he sang, it was done slickly so that it didn’t seem as he was doing anything at all . I was happy to be there, the nostalgia created by his popular numbers was something I had not anticipated. Not only was he a great vocalist, he was also a good speaker as he gave us little hints on events that led into some of the songs he sang before. His personality was larger than life and this made me to enjoy and I thoroughly enjoyed the gig, extraordinary.
