Aramidé by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Aramidé
Show me your heavens gate 
Let me leisure there through eternity
Open your floodgates of amorous passion 
As I feel the thrill
 Of your pulsating pleasure 

Aramidé
Open 
Consent  
And let me thrust through 
your paradise of treasure

Alújánjánkìján by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Alújánjánkìján
Here are lyrics melting our souls 
Verses binding us whole 
Rhythms mending our holes 
        Alújánjánkìján
        So Clap your hands
       And make it sound like a gong
       Nod your heads  
        As our chorus throng  
And let us heed the lessons 
Each line brings along

Ewabusi by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Ewabusi
Her beauty multiplied before my gaze 
Her charms increased before my stare  
Her allure heightened within my watch
As my moral compass was hers to control 

Ewabusi
Her glamour improved my sight 
Her candace enhanced my night 
Her appeal boosted my right  
As my values became her delight

Ewabusi
For your beauties never cease 
To snowballing before my stares

Oluropo by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Oluropo
Read the pleadings of my love 
Decipher the affidavits of my thoughts 
Reply to the summons on my Cause
Till my appearance is written on your heart

Oluropo
Hear the motions from my heart 
Respond to the perpetual 
Applications of my affection
Till it becomes your ruling 
Binding us whole

Bit by Bit by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Bit by bit
Our bodies began to move
 To the beat of Iwere drum 
Steps by steps 
Our feet jiggled the earth
 Surface with velocity 

So the rhythms 
 Merged with our souls 
The tempo flowed from our soles 
The cadence staired in our bones  
And we became synergized 
In the heritage of our glow

Chibugo by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Chibugo
Here I am 
Beguiled and bullied 
Betrayed and beaten 
Still I remain courageous 

 Chibugo
Here I am 
Hunted and shunned  
Hated and scorned 
Yet I remain victorious 

For in the pride of my strength
lies the individualism of my mien
    Chibugo
