As the likes of Kirk Frankin, Mary Mary, and KiKi Sheard have shown, “inspirational” isn’t just for the grown folk. This being an ethos and torch which burns brightly with Londoner Leké Akinyemi.
A staple in the ever-renown Writeway Music collective, the 21 year old serves up rousing new single ‘Rodeo’. It’s a stellar introduction to the talent which resides in the budding star; and one which should go some way furthering his cause beyond the Gospel arena.
‘Rodeo’ hits iTunes on March 19th.
Transcript of Lyrics
VERSE 1
For some time I’ve been meaning to holla
Thinking what this life’s gonna follow
Couldn’t tell you where my heart’s been
Not sure where I’m going
There’s a lot of pride I gotta swallow
No longer bout the Pounds & the dollar
But to Experience perfection
To experience Heaven
CHORUS
I know I ain’t running this race alone
I’ll search with my heart & find you
And when I find you I’ll know
That although life is a rodeo
I’ll search with my heart & find you
And when I find you I will never let go
VERSE 2
I told the world that you were my lover
Sadly I latched to another
And another one after that
Rekindle what we had
My mind is running & running straight to the grave
I feel like You don’t wanna see my face
I need to know that you never let you go
In the first place
CHORUS
I know I ain’t running this race alone
I’ll search with my heart & find you
And when I find you I’ll know
That although life is a rodeo
I’ll search with my heart & find you
And when I find you I will never let go
VERSE 3
If time flies I’m flying 1st class
Dreaming that this economy state of mind would boom blast out my past
Out of my present, out of my future
There’s no space for you to bar me, return to loser
See I ain’t saying this saying’s sake
I need God to reign in me, my brolly’s been keeping me dry for too long
I need to be drenched, soaked, saturated
Till your Word comes dripping out my skin, I got a calculation
Rather my time read quarter to destruction
Than death minutes past for eternity
Thought’s burning me
Knowing I had time but man wasted it
Missed my dates with Heavenly patriots
And hope’s a dream
Jesus freeing them & not knowing me
But the mighty rushing wind King up In His Glory
Is a risen Standard that my eyes shall see
Heaven’s the Mark, Christ is the key
Flesh has to die
I can’t live in shades of grey OAP
