Be Contented ( Follow Follow)

Intro: Instrumental

Learn to be contented with what you have
No dey do follow follow (follow follow)
Learn to be grateful for the little you have
No dey do longer throat (longer throat)
Learn to be contented with what you have
No dey do follow follow (follow follow)
Learn to be grateful for the little you have
No dey do longer throat

They say I’m seating at the back seat
Waiting so patiently
instead of me to cut the line
And speed up the long process

They tell me to forget my faith please
That life could be easy
And I won’t have to raise a finger,
I could have things at my own wish

It’s called selling out, I’ll tell you so
Cause you don’t seem to even know
The life that call easy
Is not as simple as you think it is

It’s damn busy and too freezy,
Might not survive the cold breeze
Cause it takes your peace away,
It’s scary, you’ll barely be existing

Don’t be deceived by the riches that you envy,
It’s accompanied with so much pain, much sorrow and disdain
Those who seek riches way above their means turn out to be slaves
It’s not the life you want
Clearly, not the life you need

They’re those who have sold their souls for power, fame and wealth
They’re wallowing in terror, pain, regrets
And yet, they fake being happy like they’re truly living
Don’t be deceived by what you see
It’s all illusion, call it suffering in disguise
Learn to be grateful for the things you have
Cause at least you’ve got your peace

Learn to be contented with what you have
No dey do follow follow (follow follow)
Learn to be grateful for the little you have
No dey do longer throat (longer throat)
Learn to be contented with what you have
No dey do follow follow (follow follow)
Learn to be grateful for the little you have
No dey do longer throat (follow follow)

About “Be Contented”

Be contented is the third track on the EP, Lyrical Detox. In the days when almost everyone is money crazed, the song’s message says one shouldn’t be envious of another because people are unaware of what goes on behind the scene. So it says don’t force your way into bondage just because to want to fit in (follow follow). There are people who are trapped and can’t come out because of long throat (covetousness).
