Urban Nigerian Christian rapper Cris Kester is out with “Odyssey”; his first song of a new year/decade
“The lyrics of this song came when I realized a lot of people want to skip the work part and just get the prize.
This cannot be, especially seeing that it is written in the book of life, that there’s no food for a lazy man. It is in giving you can get.
So I dropped a sound titled The “Odyssey” a Greek word that describes a journey, an adventurous voyage or a spiritual quest.
For everyone is called to a journey by God, and we can only effectively achieve greatness and purpose if we stick to our Journey and not someone else’s journey, through hard work and dedication to God.”

Verse 1
Ok
It’s a beautiful day, beautiful day
Rainbow up in the sky show me the way
Green grass hope there’s no snakes in it
So I pray to God he connects to this
So when I see the birds now man got to fly
Faith got to grow so my wings wouldn’t lie
Six feet is not enough I need a greater height
They say heaven is a myth now that’s a greater lie
Tell them o!
There are things that I have seen
Life got honey but there’s bees on the trees
Heard you found the door hope you came with the key?
Cause life got punches like Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali!
So I stick to my faith
Grace is the truth when the hustle is late
God is my strength when I’m weak with the hate
See Life is all spiritual I know
Chorus
My mama been tell me say make I follow my own o
No look another man cause him self get him own
No food for lazy man so make I hustle my own
Make I follow baba God cause na him know the road o
Oluwa ba mi ṣii temi Lati bere oh oh X2
(God help me to open my own [blessings] from the start)
Oluwa wa ṣii temi Lati bere oh oh X2
(God come and open my own [blessings] from the start )
Verse 2
I see Blessings on me like the scars of a warrior
I got a nod from my God he said carry on
Success is polygamous I need to Marry more
They say the hustle is weight I need to carry more
Whoo let me fill my cup to the brim
Guess I need a bucket there’s more at the stream
If I fold with the hands i will be lost with the dream
glow is Jehovah not much of the cream
No work in your hands what’s God gon bless?
Got no spice how the food gon taste ?
A bird won’t fly if it doesn’t leave the Nest
Faith without works I hope you know the rest
Late night and late night with the stars
Road trips and tough times with the cars
Calm words are spoken with the bars
Life a journey, victory ours
Chorus
My mama been tell me say make I follow my own o
No look another man cause him self get him own
No food for lazy man so make I hustle my own
Make I follow baba God cause na him know the road o
Oluwa ba mi ṣii temi Lati bere oh oh X2
(God help me to open my own [blessings] from the start)
Oluwa wa ṣii temi Lati bere oh oh X2
(God come and open my own [blessings] from the start )
Outro
Every day we dey go now
Baba God na you get our back o
Back oh oh oh
Baba God na you show us road oh
Oh oh, oh
It’s a beautiful day!
