Feelings Are a Skirmish

Track 45 of 15

Feelings Are a Skirmish

Strategic, Cold-blooded, Dynastic. Logic as the ark when she's still arguing with the rain.

About This Track

A duel between a builder and a partner caught in the storm. While she sees rain, he sees reign — a track that reframes 'cold' calculation as the architecture that keeps the dynasty afloat.

Lyrics

You look up... you dey see water falling.

I look up... I dey see kingdom calling.

You see the rain. I see the reign.

I saw the dark clouds forming three days ago

You dey snap your picture, I was checking the flow

You say I'm "distant," say I lock inside "prison"

You look at the paper—I dey execute Vision!

The wind start to howl, now you want to debate

My tone of voice, or the small things you hate

You live for the 'moment', you no dey see signs

I live for the 'mission', reading between the lines

You shout "Surrender!" say my logic is cold

But the barometer drop—story don unfold!

I dey build legacy to stand on these stages

You dey cry about feelings... I dey turn the pages.

You call it 'emotion' / I call it 'liability'

You wan drag me down / To your instability?

Listen close, 'cause I no fit handle...

Your feelings na skirmish that I will dismantle.

Feelings are a skirmish that I will dismantle!

You just check the WEATHER / I dey build the ARK!

You see the 'problem' / I see the 'landmark'!

This isn't 'Battlefield' / Omo, this is CHESS!

You bring the wahala / I clean the mess!

It's DYNASTY! (Ay!)

(It's Dynasty!) You no fit handle this!

(It's Dynasty!) You see the rain / I see the reign!

Now rain start to fall, spitting for the glass

You say my 'framework' wicked, say I get no class

You dey fear to lose control? You fear to trust?

So you wan burn the palace? Turn the gold to rust?

You beg me make I stop, say I making a racket

I dey nail the board, I dey put on my jacket!

I no be 'judge', I be the 'investor'

I see the 'profit', you see 'aggressor'

You scream, "It's my reality!"—that thinking too small

Your "reality" go drown us...

NA YOU GO KILL US ALL!

So you want to 'deflect'? / You want to 'escalate'?

You think say your 'drama' / Can alter your 'fate'?

I be the lock on the door / You be the hand on the handle...

Your feelings na skirmish that I will dismantle!

Feelings are a skirmish that I will dismantle!

You just check the WEATHER / I dey build the ARK!

You see the 'problem' / I see the 'landmark'!

This isn't 'Battlefield' / Omo, this is CHESS!

You bring the wahala / I clean the mess!

It's DYNASTY! (Ay!)

(It's Dynasty!) You no fit handle this!

(It's Dynasty!) You see the rain / I see the reign!

You want make I come 'down'? Fight you on the 'ground'?

For wetin? So we both drown?

You only see the water...

I only see the ORDER.

You see the rain... I see the REIGN. (R-E-I-G-N)

You focus on the pain... I focus on the GAIN.

You can have your "Battlefield"... win your little fight...

But me? I dey build everything... I building for life!

Now look through the window, the street is a lake

The neighbors dey swim now, a fatal mistake

But look at your feet, tell me, your socks wet?

No water inside. Are you willing to bet?

You fight with the captain while I steer the wheel

Now we sit in silence, eating a meal

You wanted a partner to scream at the sky

I give you a fortress so you go stay dry!

No ask for apology, no ask for a tear

Just thank the logic that kept us right here.

You saw the rain. (I saw the reign).

You saw the pain. (I saw the gain).

Na you go kill us all... (Kill us all...)

Unless I build the Ark.

Feelings are a skirmish that I will dismantle.

I dismantle.
