BE WISE
Hidden Emotion 1999 (Lagos)
We all want freedom in life
No objections, no restrictions
Free to do whatever we want
We all want fun, but no peace
So we scrub to live our lives carelessly
Not caring who we hurt
We want to live our lives to the fullest
Forgetting we owe this lives to someone
Pleasure, having fun is not disastrous
It is disastrous when we have it in a nasty way
Be wise
Not all that look good is good
Money, power don't last forever
Values do
The purpose of our lives is to be happy
The only way you can be happy
Is if you live right
Stay away from things that ravage your souls
