                 ❄ GOOD BOY GONE BAD ❄

 

No No No  It's DeCapo You Hear?,

The Nickname For Young Fred To Bear,

The New Lads In Red Endorsed It With A Beer,

A Deacon's Son That Was Full Of Cheer,

 

Attempts To Cast Away Spirit Of Anger,

He Use To Iron His Father's Clothes And Have Them On The Hanger,

What Has Gone Wrong Whence It's Not Hunger,

Can't Even Walk Straight Or Talk Clean Any Longer,

 

When Parents Had Failed To Say 'Good Boy' And  'I'm Proud Of You',

He Won't Mind If Reds Says 'Badt Guy' DeCapo' 'You Sabi Do',

Mary Is Concerned When He Stopped Choir Practice Too,

Why Stop Football To Prefer Argument Without A Point Or Two,

 

If Only Fred Knew..To Raise Him They Had To Borrow,

With The Present Conditions He Was Their Hope For A Better Tomorrow,

Sighs,Tears, And Fears Rings As He Causes Them Sorrow,

Don't Curse Him His Father Warns The Mother's Patience Of Zero,

 
Bad Guy! Bad Guy! They Hailed Him As He Smoked His First,

At 17 He Thinks A 'Big Boy' Is Who Talks Rude And Eager To Burst,

They Now Use Padlocks For Doors Knowing There's Who Not To Trust,

The Gold That Failed To Be Refined Is Now An Iron With Rust,

 

Living Life Like A Hip-Hop Musical Video,

Doesn't Know They Are Fabrications From The Studio,

There's More To Attaining Success Than Copying Tunechi and Davido,

He Had Pictures Of Martin Luther, Ben Carson & Mark Zuckerberg On His Ludo,

 

Younger Ones Looks Up To You Please Behave Well,

The Neighbour That Advised Knows He Stole Her Alcatel,

Let's Pity The Parents Not To Lock Him Up In The Cell,

It Hurts Like Hell As He Knocks At 12:17am With That Smell,

 

Come Back To Your Senses Because That Life Is Vain,

Pity Our Sick Mother She Sees You When The Needles Enters Her Vein,

Few Times He Wishes To Stop But Whaoo.. He Can't Explain, 

Start With Your Bible And Please Read It Again And Again,

 

Way Out Must Come Before He's A Lost Cause,

If He Had Read Well To Score Well He Should Be In UniJos,

So He Opened His Heart And Wanted The Truth From Me He Calls Boss,

I Looked At Him And Said ..Fred My Friend All You Need Is Jesus.
