Omo,
listen
to
me
now
Just
take
a
breath,
ehen
Yeah,
for
my
girl
Elsie
Elsie,
you
taught
me
love
ain’
t
a
checklist
or
a
timeline
Ain’
t
about "
the
one"
or
reaching
by
a
certain
time
You
showed
me
single
nights,
and
career
lights,
and
friends
that
feel
like
home
That
you
are
enough,
already,
even
standing
here
alone
I
used
to
chase
perfect,
I
used
to
hide
the
awkward
parts
But
you
said "
let
them
see
you,
that’
s
where
the
real
love
starts"
Yeah,
you
told
me, "
let
them
see
you"
Elsie
Njeb
Lawrence,
you’
re
the
family
I
choose
In
the
mess,
in
the
laughter,
in
the
heartbreaks
we
lose
You
are
enough,
my
sister,
yeah,
you
are
the
light
Even
in
the
shadows,
you
are
burning
bright
Elsie
Njeb
Lawrence,
you’
re
the
family
I
choose
In
the
mess,
in
the
laughter,
in
the
heartbreaks
we
lose
People
dey
talk,
they
say
you
must
match
this
and
that
But
you
dey
do
your
thing,
ignoring
all
the
format
Your
spirit
is
steady,
like
river
wey
no
dey
dry
You
look
at
the
mirror
and
you
no
get
reason
to
cry
See,
beauty
no
be
makeup,
beauty
be
the
soul
you
carry
Even
when
the
world
is
heavy,
you
no
fit
ever
marry
The
pressure
of
the
city,
you
stand
tall
like
a
queen
Elsie,
you
the
finest
soul
that
I
ever
seen
Elsie
Njeb
Lawrence,
you’
re
the
family
I
choose
In
the
mess,
in
the
laughter,
in
the
heartbreaks
we
lose
You
are
enough,
my
sister,
yeah,
you
are
the
light
Even
in
the
shadows,
you
are
burning
bright
Elsie
Njeb
Lawrence,
you’
re
the
family
I
choose
In
the
mess,
in
the
laughter,
in
the
heartbreaks
we
lose
So
let
the
clock
tick,
let
the
seasons
just
fade
I
love
the
woman
that
you’
ve
finally
made
No
pressure,
no
hurry,
you
dey
blossom
in
your
time
Elsie,
you’
re
the
reason
that
I’
m
writing
this
rhyme
So
keep
your
head
up
high,
no
dulling
your
shine
Even
when
the
road
is
rough,
everything
go
fine
You
dey
enough
for
yourself,
and
you
dey
enough
for
me
Elsie,
you
the
greatest,
just
wait
and
you
go
see
Elsie
Njeb
Lawrence,

re
the
family

choose
In
the
mess,
