Omugwo and the Empire
A song made by Udehani Chinedu
My papa and mama
My papa said,son!Go and marry,you aint getting young at fourty.
At your age,i have gotten six children and you being my third child.
My mama's voice screamed from the kitchen saying,Son,i need grand children from you,i need to visit my daughter inlaw postpartem -omugwo..
Son,dont deny me my postpartem (omugwo)rights.Get a wife for yourself and be responsible.
If you cant get a wife,i have gotten a beautiful wife for you,she will give you many children,take care of you and your home.
All your mate have gotten married with so many children at thirty and you are still single at fourty.Look at the horizon ,there's no time to while away.
Mama and papa,i dont want a wife,i dont want headache,i want my peace peaceful,i want my quiet home quieter,lonlier and lovely.
I want to live my life,
I want to drink my liquor,
Smoke my cigar,play music,dance till i'm done,enjoy my gambling table.
I want to have fun,when i can,stay focus on my business and its empire.
Stay calm in my calculations and quiet moments.
Mama and papa,if you want children,i can make children for you in your names.
Papa,if you want more families,i can make families,i can make children in your names.
I dont want divorce,
I dont want fraud,
In the name of love.
I dont want my business empire divided. I dont want my toil under the sun and rain ,under sweltering heat,near-miss death stolen on divorce paper.
Mama and papa,son,this is not who we are.we are Africans,we make families and bond,looking out for one another.
We are Africans in the western lands but we aint westerners.we bond as a big family sharing one sun and moon.looking out and taking care for our parents in their old age.
Son,who will look out for you ,when you are old.Make children,son.
Chorus
I want to live my life,
I want to drink my liquor,
Smoke my cigar,play music,dance till i'm done,enjoy my gambling table.
I dont want fraud
In name of marriage,
Get all my empire stolen on divorce papers.I will make children on my parents name ,mama and papa i hope i make you happy .No to fraud called marriage.
