2015 runs to an end, a lot's on my mind

Feeling really introspective so I pause and I smile

I'm thinking 'bout the lessons that I learned in the time

The good and the bad, the tests and the trials

It’s been a life-defining time for me

I finally found the time to be what I really wanted to be

I learnt to find time for peeps that make up my community

I learnt that all the finer things in life do not define me

But my love for God, friends and family

I learnt how to be strong in times of tragedy

And how to stand tall and rise above the gravity

'Cause the higher you go, the better the view you get to see

I learnt that finishing is what really matters

'Cause everybody starts out but the bitter part is

If you don't finish what you started

It’s like dribbling the keeper, facing empty net and still not scoring!

Omo, Man of God na still Son of Man

That's why I still do some things I ought to leave behind

But God's grace is what I trust in to overcome my worst sins

And his word to renew my mind

I learnt a bit of what it means to love a woman

It takes a whole lotta patience just to keep it moving

It takes quite a lotta strength to remain consistent

And stay faithful when some others would've gone missing

But I've learnt to appreciate what I've got

Or some other person will, and then it’s lost

I learnt to really see God as my only source

Baba no dey disappoint, if say na him you really trust!

I had some strange doors open up to me

Walked right in with a lot of ease

I got some pretty crazy opportunities

Things getting cooler, feel the breeze, down a few degrees

I met some pretty dope folks in the year tho

But I didn't take a selfie with Ini Edo

Although, I took some really decent pictures

But I didn't take enough! I'll do that more in the future

Forget, 2015 was really awesome

I learnt a whole lot, and that's saying something

And if what happened then is any indication

Of what's coming in front of me

Then there's no limitation

My name is FIF, and I'm signing out

They thought I kept quiet, I'm here to drive em out

I brought you Synopsis, something to smile about

And I'm getting some tougher topics to write about

Any which way

2016 go make sense

E sure me die say 2016 go make sense

If you believe say 2016 go make sense

Then let me hear you say "Amen"

Won l'e FIF a fe gbo ibile

Kini'n se gbogbo yin na ejo efimile

Make I do my tin how I want

I might do it or not

Just know I'm unlimited

My name is FIF and I'm signing out

Real name Olufifun Adedamola

Gone for a while don't mean I'm packing out

I'm a king not a commoner

The way I handle the beat call me Pacquiao

Never defeated, never quitting, never backing down

Got a new perspective so look at me now

Look at me now...
