Tobiloba - Leon (Prelude) Lyrics

My name is Oluwatobiloba
Also known as Tobiloba
My dad used to call me Leon
Which was a short form for Leonard
Which means as brave as a lion
I used to be proud of that name as a little boy
I thought I knew what it meant until I became an adult

Truth
Imperfect vulnerability

Omo the balls for such a life must be mighty
A life of no alloy no decoy
Loaded gun no be toy
No time for cheap thrills
Life to the fullest is the real deal

I ain't talking perfection
I ain't no dog chasing its tail
On this unsteady waters called life
Seeking perfection is insanity

Insanity what does that word even mean
I should know right

Omo me sef o hang
Don't blame me

These things aren't as objective as they used to be

Lines are shifting

Good is bad
Bad is good what is good

None is good except the father
Says the birthday boy

Birthday boy sef na ochlocracy kill am eventually
E for be for us if them fully succeed finish am
My point
It seems to be more cost-effective
To pretend to be good
Rather than attempt to be truly good

Babylon's idea is be good enough to wield influence
But awe you gats know where the limits are

Don't push it too far
If you expose the truth
You become a target
If you're a target
You become a magnet

Neo versus sentinels
We're talking matrix eternity
Another sequel nah

Maybe a prequel
Don't be an alaseju

Just have a touch of good
Virtue signalling is enough to give you food

Na for this kind world my papa look me
Call me Leonard

Omo him faith big pass my own o
I don't feel any pressure though
Maybe that's a good sign
That I'm walking the path I was destined to walk

Although in this season I am more like a solitary tiger
I no dey follow anybody pride and
I think the lion ain't really the king of the jungle
Hype and pretty privilege aside some lion go see some tiger humble
Its bravery and majesty though are things definitely
I am akin to

Genes don't lie Judah's lion runs this jungle
Welcome to my Christmas journal or should I say Leon's Christmas journal
