Fii in his Elements

FLOATING LOAVES
Sometimes we love it so much when the sun lights up the evening sky
The amber, glairing across a cloud
Sometimes it is the chilled beer
With sparkling golden bubbles
Sometimes the disappointment tracking on feet for a very long distance
To meet at the door, ‘close’ it is no humiliation at all
The perspiration with wet shirt sticking to your skin
We love it so much when the battle is hot because there is going to be a sweet victory
The hustler so addicted to caffeine, can not live without coke, coffee or cigarette
It is no rogue status but a passion
The hustler loves to hear the sound of horns in his kind of music
He always wakes up in hell, in his dreams heaven a reality
The door bell is ringing sufferer, welcome the stranger to become your angel
Because last night was spent on a lonely bed
Sometimes we love it when life’s bread is coated with honey
But it is that cheap when you have money, it is so funny
When we work hard to earn a living just to leave this world without a will

PROMISE
All the women I love are with other men
I need to reconcile this on the other hand
It feels like hell when this rings a bell in my mind
I am being sort from behind
Because I laid my life on the line
I used to recall back at the hall
Where we discussed the future on top of it all
Education never taught us about this
So where are we going to learn about that
All it served was knowledge but haulage it never lightened
So frightened I need to be spiritually enlightened
I bore horns when I was a kid
But I am now covered with a lid
I have no body else to blame
Rather than to practice a new game
It serves with no dividend
But I am bent on it to the end
I put all my eggs in one basket
And that kept me stooping over my own casket

DILEMA
We now measure the currency with the dollar
Before you get some you have to get job with a white collar
Forgetting we were bought in a barter
And kept in a cellar with Jah as our pillar
Am now being discriminated against because of my color
I wish to have a dinner with the king at his parlor
But I now gather the crump which is served by the pastor
Who always say the end will come like rapture
Like the Duke’s passion religion has become a fashion
Which has left followers in an illusion
Wondering about an exodus tuition
We need a relief from this obsession
Because it is driven the world into a recession
Contemplation never brought a resolve but condemnation
What we need is to bring back the remembrance
That would serve as an entrance
And take away the oblivion
And usher us into eternal life

fiifi said...

THE DILECT
I call it the upsurge of civilization
A fountain of cultures
I climax of all speech, doctrine and philosophies
That of war and of peace
That of the east and that of the west
In a world where the dictates of a super power
Becomes the norms of those sovereign of nation and the clot of nation decisions
In the mist is the word of salvation
Boasted of across pulpits
The claim which were never sent to court to decide on a verdict
The plot to kill Christ never explain to suit the traitor
I wish to explain here that to be saved was once unheard of
Until I worked towards the purge of my sins
That has been suppressor of one self
Liberate them o super power rather insult the ignorance of the secularists
Telling them they are rather sinners
Leaving the purjurists as a mark of the world’s salinists
Before all these has been doctrine
Of others known to be subverts
Who taught even those who became the leaders of the super powers
And the world’s clot of nation deciders the way forwards
It has been taken and sent into wraps
And thus, blind folded leaders leading the world to the tip of a cliff

TRAVEL BY SOUND
Dial up the number before you file up this summer
This liberty was won by the sweat and blood
Of once free men
Who stood in front of the barrel after being threatened to pull the trigger
It cost a penny but count now how many
Through the dark cold nights
With no sleeves nor shoes to cover their heels
Wrote about the destiny on his heart
Which we now serve with a bat
It is no shame if you do not have money
And never share blame because life is sweeter than honey
I remember sitting under an oak tree and weaving a basket there
I fell into a trance and you were carried away
There your dreams stayed with me
But their behavior has been with you
I woke up from my long sleep
And never saw you again
My dreams has become a reality

CHANT

I was tarred at the bar and has since been a star by far
i am held up in high places like a diamond jar
i have to be marginalized before they could be at par
but bloodshed and vengeance got me marred
they said i lacked the fortitude because am black
i was carried beyond the ozone by Jah
by the powers of the most high in an hour
i became spiritually informed
to worship him by norm
there i found my way home
greeted by surprise
i replied never to stop the fight
until the sun shall rise
love smile at me like a baby i used to cradle
but it melted away so quickly like a candle
like a steering wheel i needed to handle
but i was mislead and took it for a mantle
i was given the parcel in a bundle
but i refused it because i was humble

i began to breed and reproduced to speed
the kind who did need to plead
because they bleed from their heart the pulse of steel
bent on the struggle indeed
after all we need repayment and justice for real
live the life with belief
and speak out your mind to your relief
we went through that on a streak
bent on sleeping in the street
allow us night to be free
else we are going to sting the queen like a bee
break barriers mighty warrior
and debunk the notion that you are inferior
all left for us is to be heavy load carriers
it took our blood to travel from the interior
at last we suffered enough to be the superior

stand and fight for your right
those who think they are deprived
catch the flight to the promise land
and let Christ hold you by the hand
forget about the bad dream last night
and rise to meet the rising sunshine
like Joseph in Portifer's house
find solace and filter out
cry aloud and move about
soon zion would be out of bounds
with a shout roar and remove the clouds
do not be proud like a spouse
but rather exit through the south
walk vertically and ascend to your heaven
isnt it mystical the idea about seven
that the tribes of Judah make a dozen
strike and take away the scrolls from the heathen
what they deserve must be given
and leave the rough edges for them to smoothen

I SAY WHAT I MEAN
I am oppressed and make me want to scream Jah
I have started a journey but the road is too far
All I need to do is to stand up and be a star
I wanted to cut corners
So I stood by the road and rode in a car
I wish I was always high so I lost my chart in a bar
Do not bother brethren I never lost my sense
I tried to buy the game with one pence
Which cost a thousand pounds to buy a seat
The principle has always been my defense
So I am on guard when ever I get into their territory
Which made the fight so intense
We sometimes forget we were moulded out of clay
and try to build life in a day
some seeds might fall by the way
and they are not served in a tray
do not be carried away but try to live by whatever you say
even Christ who came to save the world was slayed

Fiifi Kwansah said...

This is Fii the seed we need repayment and justice for real we don t only eat and sleep we give you the beat and a nice retreat.

Its like a jungle sometimes

Fiifi Kwansah said...

On the road which I crawl its load when you ball.......

Fiifi Kwansah said...

I was born with a brain that weighted one tonne
It has always been my song until all I had was gone......

Fiifi Kwansah said...

I promise in vain
My night has fallen so fast makes me wonder when shall a fresh dawn begin
My friends are now children, who are learning to talk
I bath them and wipe their stoles when they defecate
I have no form of entertainment
When my heart beat, it sends memories of life spent, some foretold but nothing to relate to
The future
I am drowning in my dreams
I am haunted by the knowledge of this world
It has been too long waiting in this duldrums afflicted by illusion of men being by spirits
A wishful thinking that man never realized
The ingenuity of of man has been taken over by technology and money
Learning all sorts of theories and hypothesis in schools just to make a living
Much to earn but nothing to write home about
I plead my cause this has been a perverse generation making the righteous feel relegated with no form of livlihood
Heroes have become musicians singing songs to entice the led of their hidden strength
The courts now belong to thieves and murderers
Allow this time the resucitation of morality to heal the world and bring back life and hope to the jungle
Because the rule of flaws perpetuated by sinister has ruined the aspiration of the autonomous
With such a gravity , as to inhibit the freedom and love we share

Fiifi Kwansah said...

GHANA
Jamaica rock Ghana stand
The water that heals
The revolution that resurrect The souls of the weak and departed
The regency that corrupt
Democracy that rebuild
An anthem of slogans Like a speech to the led
Evergreen with the non-align and a lake of a world s reckon
Boast of it we dope with the stars
We have it all from athletics to politics
Five star and still counting
Underdeveloped and still developing
Marginalized but still shinning
Rot on our streets Is a day s game
Scavenge Zoomlion it is property
We call it local folks with sunshine and rain
Harvest in December is ripe
Cool off in June with the rains
Else it is fufu we pound and kokrokoo we rise.

PRESENCE
Presence of JAH Almighty
The sun stars moon and earth
Presence of the sun, light energy strength and power
Presence of water, life
Presence of bread, shelter and clothes, sustenance
Presence of Justice a ceiling a yard stick, rule and measure
Presence of good news, guidance, a solace and instruction
Presence of spells to remove all incoherencies
Presence of luck for believers
Presence of love to care and share
Presence of seed for off spring
Presence of science to rejuvinate
Presence of art to decorate
Presence of skill for maneuvers
Presence of war for destruction
Presence of peace to rebuild
Presence of money for quality and bargain
Presence of school, to educate
Presence of jail to punish
Presence of equity for equillibrium
Presence of news for information
Presence of business for work
Presence of season for change
Presence of sin for salvation
Presence of death for judgement

DAIMLER
Should Isaac Newton say a body continues in its presence state of rest unless acted upon by an external force
The luxury this machine brings depleat the theory of its potency
Dieshle, kompressor the circumstances surrounding this invention
Made the maximum anticipation of speed travel,
Curve negotiation
And an instant metallic breaking system which is unparrelled
We breath a soul into this arts with the care it brings
A dependable mate in life
Make me think I could speak to her and turn on her engine
An analogue power transmission
Digital dashboard, a benchmark for quality
From sports to haulage
Both with matching suspension and airbags for assurance and safety in times of collision
The defeated strategy of competitors has allowed for the merger of assets
But when we talk automobile we say Meercedes

Daimler, a prize for our holocaust memories brought by Schindler
Has made the comfort in automobile much simpler
An accurate design of a machine with comfort in mind,
An engine built with minimum intake of fuel
Turn on the pistons to produce a sufficient energy for combustion
A neutral equillibrium with an equal share of balance
On four wheels it compells gravity to dessipate but in control
The ballast system allows for manoeuvers around curves without somersaulting
An interior decor with leather seating
Electric window
And a central locking system
A celebrity without one is like a soldier without a gun
The little pressure exerted on the pedals assures a maximum propulsion when the transmitter is shifted
Neon lights to give a clear view at night
Are we turning into naucturnals?
By this it is the Daimler

Class struggle
So we summoned her as the head of the class
We were all equal but what separated us was gender
A lobby, mission statement, and a manifesto , Expartrates
Foreigners and a Rasta
The class clown who always made us laugh was marginalized In the selection
Howbeit he managed as a steward .It should have been me ?
This is what we see everyday when prospective candidates are left in the fray
Leadership comes with responsibility , I served my part
Now the turn came to elect , complaint about a missing franchise
Wasted, partly defamed and misused shouting at the least mistakes and error that come our way
Who wanted to become the shadow of a stalwart
A stolen identity in the image of herself. The class never graduated with her
All contenders repeated what she said
This led to abuse because of a stringent rule
The once coveted seat to be on top, this was what was left with them
Shine when your turn come, it could be they change their minds towards a liberal one
This excuse to leave office was not the right one at all.
The game changes into rough one when officiating is partial
I was not an obstinate one at all

SOLITATY CONFINEMENT
Sorry I am so abhorred so you know I am sick The brain is a marrow it is surrounded by the skull
Inmates deduce a diagnosis but it was rejected because they were all insane
I was brought here because of hate, prejudice and resent
I wore clothes I was not naked Here where we spend life with little freedom
Drugs made us sober and helped us sleep Food on a ration like culinary birds
One gone astray attracts the fury of the nurses on a dose which left him tranquilized for days
As one become aggressive then incarceration become the remedy
Here we are seen as being unable Make us able than we came
It has been worse than the first day brought here
The health of some of us has been reduced to rubble because the laws setting up this place were so Draconian

I have never made a decision in sobriety is a fact the reason being I want to see JAH seeing this lavish life lived in this material world
Nature is lost our belief diminished it is a lost world
I used my ingenuity but I had no money As self taught I made all my way through the gates
On my return I saw JAH He was a man He wiped my tears, He gave me food to eat and blessed me with the herb
Lessons I learned in sobriety did not profit me much They were all infant desires
To go to school, to go to church fleshly desires
To pray a temporal one I needed to be a bit more spirited To sing a song, to say hallelujah, to praise JAH
Beasts have ears but do you know what they hear not our songs but the song of birds JAH has eyes
He sees only the righteous The cock crowed at three as the sun sunk in that moody clouds
Jesus wept He died I have come back and that has resonated through out the world





INTRODUCTION
Good morning listeners of Accra, this is your no.1 show personal development show on your radio. It promises to be an interesting one, one more time
We continue our talk and today we emphasize on greed. The greedy dog saw a reflection of his image in the pool with a bone. He thought that was another dog with a bone, he opened his mouth and lost his bone. There lived two brothers , a younger and an older one. They lived together until they were old. The younger built a house at a very early stage. This got the elder jealous and blackmailed the younger, through a false allegation. The younger was arrested by the police and the older took over the house .
Even the Bible commands us not to covet our neighbour’s property, how much more your younger brother’s.
DISCUSSION
This brings us to today’s motivational talk, which says ‘all that glitter is not gold’ .
-We have to build our own future
-When the going get tough the tough get going
-Life is not a bed of rose
The bright sun that lit up the day, went to set in the evening, and there was darkness forgetting the day is the son of the night. After this world what next? We spend time harnessing property which we would leave behind. We are all going to say good bye to this world so you ask yourself the question are we racing for the stars, while we still fight out with stones. We think we have arrived just to realize we just lost one. Why should you covet someone who has been through the struggle. Do not be fooled by the luxuries of this world thinking there is something behind it. You would chase and chase and find nothing, but rather if you had stayed with your small beginnings you would have achieved something by now.
But rather you wanted the garnished for your reward because you wanted everything in bulk, which kept you stooping over your casket.

INTRODUCTION
Good morning listeners of Accra, this is your no.1 show personal development show on air for good. We have a lot to discuss and the list include fear trepidation and anxiety. It promises to be an interesting one. Fear is something that haunts you . It is negative and it is brought about the devil. I have not given you the spirit of fear. We should learn to live above all these emotions. Bothered about troubles of this world wont make them go away. Because of this you sit at home contemplating without work and food. This makes you lazy and neglected. Where else do we have to go rather than solving the problems of this , for it to become a better place for us, our children and the generation unborn. Confronting our fears makes us stronger and resolute, when we do away with these weaknesses we get less troubles in our lives. The Bible advices us to be anxious for nothing . About the future, because of what we see today makes us limited in our approach and we can not win the fight with this attitude .We should set bold targets and work towards reaching them. Concerned about tomorrow makes us pessimistic and leaves us with nothing.
DISCUSSION
The motivational talk for today is “how do you proof what you can not see ‘. Live in this world as if there are no boundaries to your existence. Oblivion is not just a state of mind but could be achieved , e.g is independence , you use to live under instructions, go to bed at six, a curfew situation but now because of the freedom you fought for, you have been elevated to a state where you no longer observe those instructions any more. Forgetting about the shame that surrounds us , you have to live at all cost . Do not make any obstacle come in your way , live freely like there are no boundaries . The moment you begin to be afraid or worry about the fear of the unseen you become restricted in your endeavor. Maybe you failed your exams so applying for a job could not be possible. Give yourself a try. Maybe your marriage has failed so you say all women are the same, start all over with a new relationship. Being an acrophobia is not the best i.e afraid of heights. What prevents you from being the best or with the best. Reach to the heights of the Einsteins because with JAH all things are possible.

THE GUN THEY SMUGGLED
Visiting was the curses of our ancestors
Some came as famine, others as diseases
But most gruesome came as rivalry
Which grew out of proportion to ignite
Passion, anger and strife.
Bloodshed and displacements, rape and torture
The spirits of the lost ones crying over their
Dry bones lost of their flesh
Scavangers holidaying with a chance to
Exhibit their ingenuity
The stench of carcasses which has resume
The place of an existing peace and tranquility
Destruction of life and property
The poverty of cruelty
Skulls numbering the sum of shells at the shore
Church bells ringing to wake the ghosts of
The deceased from the cemetary
Wells of treasure lost to become a booty for robbers
Even chicks hatched will notice they were fed by rebels
Which spells could not explain the woes
Of this demise

INTRODUCTION
This is your no.1 show personal development show on your radios .We continue from where we left off last week and in this package we talk about free speech . Free speech is not insults. And more over before you say something you should have prior knowledge about it before you speak , so you do not offend others with your speech , but you could educate , inform and direct others with your nspeech as we do on your radios every week.
DISCUSSION
When we bring this topic to scrutiny we find that communication is very necessary in communal development . Communication saves relationship and it could rebuild when we have the right instructions. This brings us to today s motivational talk which says ‘clarity of speech is a fruit of clarity if thought’. We should learn to detach our emotions from our personality because issues could easily get on our nerves when we hear them. Someone could say something and we could become very emotional. But speech could rather construct rather than destroy . Same way music could arouse our emotions and make us happy and to the contrary we could hear of the death of a relative and get a shock. So we should know how to relay information which is also part of free speech. Good bye.

God morning listeners of Accra, this is your no.1 show personal development show back on air for good. We have a lot to discuss today and the list include where the comfort zones at . Discovering your comfort zones makes it possible for you to deal with it properly, that is disposing off those comfort zones. They could be food , laziness, just to mention a few .
The motivational talk for today is “ do away with unhealthy relationships’
Those vices that makes you drive for miles
Those scenes that makes you nervous
The stimuli that allow you to irritate e.g . why do you go and pay her a visit knowing you would meet her husband.
DISCUSSION
When we bring this topic onto scrutiny we find out they are made up of two words , comfort and zone.
When you look into the dictionary, you find out the word comfort explains where you are okay, and zone is the portion where those comforts are felt the most . We do not mean superstition where you can say when my ring starts to squeeze my finger it means I have to return . Pray it never happens on an airplane.
So a journey of a thousand miles begins with a steep. Adhering to a set of rules like principles makes you gentle, forgive and more over you gain supernatural peace and the more keeps you closer to JAH . This makes you healthy as well , so you visit the doctor not so frequently . That is all we have for you today see you next time . Good bye.

MANUMIT
This is how it all began from a country home an average family, siblings and parents.
Doctor of arts a masterpiece of the craftsmen Cited by many as a stalwart
Believe me nobody has seen this for ages Back to the mortals
The odd one among the few Stand tall every time in a debate as a Black Rebel
All fingers points at him with his bravery
Loner, women moverer Sometimes I wonder how many times I call him to work
With all his intuition in seconds complete
Smooth as silk but rugged as a jig saw puzzle
Saw him in amaze every time That good but never rewarded

How fascinating, not pervasive here but resounding abroad
Mood controller, vibes originator, You are number one
Past the length which the world require but always humble
Vital sense of humor Have for charity despite his struggles
With the homeless, the destitute , the orphans and the despised
Emerged out of this doldrums with personal growth, self teaching and consent information
College dropout with no negative complex. Humanitarianism sums up the call
Where do you stand with him, equal with everybody
Understand him where ever he speaks, it is that soothing , caressing all my problems, needs and wants
I have been there with them so I know him . A Ghanaian - American

INTRODUCTION
Good morning listeners of Accra, this is your no. 1 show personal development show back on your radio. It promises to be an interesting one. Have you ever been to a carpenter‘s shop. You meet a lot of tools. To every tool there is a purpose. You do not fix square pegs into round holes. I have come to a point where inexperience make me do things I am not expected to do. Blame people for my woes and grief. Life is not a bed of rose where you expect people to answer question posed at you or live the life on your behalf. What about the benefit in life. Do you share it equally with them?
DISCUSSION
-We should learn to confront every form of difficulty that comes our way
-We should learn to take moments by the day
-Find out how operations are carried out
This brings us to today’s motivational talk, “A bad workman quarrels with his tools’. Indulging in the study of a particular pattern reveals a lot.
Experience with events, circumstances and situations makes up reality. But inability to study leaves us with the wrong choices in life. The more you indulge the better you experience. But fantasy with everything makes you lazy and deprived. On the road to experience we begin with mistakes. But endeavor to correct those mistakes and that would make you perfect an act or art. Like learning to knock a nail. At the first try, you hit the wrong spot, but persistence and courage makes you able to perfect that when you don’t give up. When you give up you are twice defeated in the pursuit of life. The mistakes we make are not as a result of bad parenting or disability or illiteracy. Stop blaming those factors and blame ourselves. The ‘whys”, the ‘if not’ and the “perhaps’ but rather fix the problems, provide answers and find clues to puzzles, run the race and finish rather than stopping half way through the journey. It leaves with no prizes. When you painstakingly learn you become profitable to yourself, family and society at large.

FIRE CRACKERS
You shine so bright makes me wonder if you are a star
Whenever I take up my writing stick all I think of is how to see you from afar
We never fight but we always bend the law in Accra
I think the best route to come to Africa is through Dakar
Brooklyn and Bronx who gets the bronze after you rallied Blackness in the Olympics
Chicago stood tall in the gymnastics because there sprout a Black leader
The prophecies of Marcus and King is now real after Obama now seal the deal
The dirge of our martyrs has become the chorus we sing
With red, gold and green balloons glazing across the lit sky
The fowls have to roost at last
The breadth we held at the bottom of the ocean has become the breeze we breathe in our dinghy
Freedom at last come on board
The breast plates are enough to be your reward
Glory and hallelujah sing for joy Damsels of Zion
And let the bravery come from the sleep like a LION.

BELIEVE ME
In my view the prize for a higher calling should be my earnest desire
With Christ gone the detest, nobody trusted us again
They are coming after us one after another dear Lord let this cup pass over us
Just a dozen our fate were brazen
Being farmers the rains did not help us, they came almost when our seedlings were withered
Our worthy leader was framed and killed
Now it rests on us a gentile nation were you sent and you went not
Were you called and you heard not reminisce I, never I told you once the Sabbaths
The commandments keep them holy, a tradition I inherited when I desert I did not merit it
Rastafari, truth to cry out sends the pitch a bit higher
Granted I reach the top I become a golden candle stick
I share this covenant with the rest of the world.
The dark side tells us about our struggles, the light side where glory shone on us
There we received the banner red, gold, and green be bold this torch lights up the world
Life is a sour vinegar Christ told us as we fasted
Our prayer should be alms for the poor and where did we get that from
Oral history told about me, written history said about me
Where I anoint dripping down the beard
These empty promises did not merit me much
My aim was to serve humanity and JAH when I drop I call all of you hopeless.
