The Vice by Tafa Lyrics
(Ife):
They ask me what’s the aim, What’s the point?
Still I ask why ply a path without joy
My faith well grounded, time to make this work
I just wanna rap, make music till I meet the lord
Bros why the fuss?
(Tafa):
If you ask me, I don’t know why I still do it
Why I still choose it, it’s like there’s a curse to it
A force to it, just rhyming with no income source to it
I cry every night, but in the morning I’m back to it
(IFE):
Flipping scripts like a gymnast, yeah that’s how we roll
Empty pockets, nothing working, “Quit?” yeah I been told
Am I foolish? What am I proving? Gold the only goal
Maybe still my life’s in your hands Deity
(Tafa):
Not clairvoyant but no love till you clear buoyant
No skins, no ends, big picture’s you gotta be flamboyant
My mates don marry with hefty salary
Here rapping, hair falling off like some malady
(IFE):
Will I fade away, without even paving way
Can’t let go, what I do, pray for better days
Hanging on, still two sides to the story
‘Tis baby steps are far from nugatory
(Tafa):
Dope fiend, not clean, told y’all I’m rap addict
Trying to cut this bad habit but I slack at it
Anomaly like I’m Siamese with schizophrenia
My fatal mania is this rhyming paraphernalia
Chorus:
Be wise, rap could be a vice
Microphone fiends wield the dopest device
Be wise with raps you devise
Microphone fiends wield the dopest device
(Tafa):
A pile of emotions, a brother can’t sit well
Like a coquette loose cos she wasn’t hit well
I think well, just a patient with wet dreams
This vet seems to get things on uncanny bet schemes
(IFE):
Bet schemes uncanny
Still thankful am standing
I gave myself to this
Don’t ask where the hit
You all concerned about the wrong things
Even if I fall I know I stood for something
(Tafa):
Stand for something, like a pergola or a pillar
Fall for anything like dominos or unwise pinna
The sinner winner, my imperfections crossed the lines
Like it’s transverse, still parallel to who bossed the rhymes
(IFE):
You know disaster strikes when we burst a rhyme
Coerced to confine skills in decline
What a pity area Mushin la wa
Still do this for the city
Got them all puzzled the piece
The game been missing
(Tafa):
I’m on a high, can’t deny, helps me defy
Obstacles I liquefy, I don’t gravity rely
Reality a lie, so buy into this and be fly
Like caterpillars,e xquisite is what I signify
(IFE):
Signify who the realest guys
Still utilize this gift of mine
To put a smile when we align
Epitomise the truth, Oh no they too shallow
When I spit in the booth
We wanna hang but with no gallows
Chorus:
Be wise, rap could be a vice
Microphone fiends wield the dopest device
Be wise with raps you devise
Microphone fiends wield the dopest device
They ask me what’s the aim, What’s the point?
Still I ask why ply a path without joy
My faith well grounded, time to make this work
I just wanna rap, make music till I meet the lord
