Before ages,<br>
we are like fire.<br>
Back then in the wild,<br>
we have the guts and nerves.<br>
But now,<br>
it’s different with coded emblems.
<p>2.<br>
We are known for our pride<br>
We birth chaos and got it roll<br>
When we say no, then it’s no<br>
Even if it takes blocking the express<br>
We got that spirit in us</p>
<p>3.<br>
But now,<br>
our spirit are restless;<br>
with thieves and nuisances.<br>
Our courage is sold out;<br>
with buglers and insanity of mind.<br>
We’re kids,<br>
with our cries like a whisper.</p>
<p>4.<br>
We victimise,<br>
but end upbeing the victim.<br>
We are the prisoners of our own creation<br>
we start a fire,<br>
but end up being burnt.<br>
we roar a chaos,<br>
but we’re just the durst.<br>
We’re just as strong as our vulnerability.</p>
<p>5.<br>
We got the rides,<br>
but our hearts walks barefooted.<br>
We got the swags,<br>
but our rhythms are so taunted.<br>
We got the ladies,<br>
but all shredded like a shrink rose.</p>
<p>6.<br>
Let’s talk about the boys<br>
so bright,<br>
but dull in mind<br>
Known for the Y word<br>
Wants to be famous<br>
Wants to be comfortable</p>
<p>7.<br>
They want to ride cars<br>
They want to ride ladies<br>
They want to live wild<br>
They want to make names</p>
<p>8.<br>
Yes! some have the rides<br>
lost their dignity and pride<br>
they got the ladies<br>
lost their appetite and value<br>
they live wild<br>
but shocked with meekness</p>
<p>9.<br>
Let’s talk about the girls<br>
So beautiful at a distance<br>
but when you look closer<br>
uglier than a smut<br>
So blinded with illusions</p>
<p>10.<br>
They want the fame<br>
They die for money<br>
They want the good look<br>
They end up dis-figured</p>
<p>11.<br>
Yes! some really are beautiful<br>
but end up being a slaughter<br>
They walk with noses all high<br>
Valueless and empty<br>
they think they’re classy<br>
but their real self beneath the mascara</p>
<p>12.<br>
Let’s talk about the real Ladokites<br>
Intelligent and swift in thought<br>
Reading like they got gold in books<br>
In the night they’re up reading<br>
during the day never resting</p>
<p>13.<br>
They speak with their pens<br>
They write with their heart<br>
They read with their mind<br>
They are strong in faith</p>
<p>14.<br>
Living the pride<br>
Aided by the dream<br>
Dominated with the spirit<br>
Onward with struggles<br>
Kindred in heart<br>
Intelligent in essence<br>
Tough in spirit<br>
Excellent in patience<br>
Swift in love</p>
<p>I’m proud to be a LADOKITE</p>
