"Vanity" produced by Gabriel Ryder is a 90's R&B/Soul influenced duet written and performed by Davina Oriakhi and Preyé whose voices mesh beautifully as they lament over the meaningless chase for material possessions and fickle pleasures.

Engineered by Tay Iwar

Lyrics:
Put those hands in the air (air)
and wave em like you just don’t care (care)

Seen all the works under the sun
seen all the works under the sun
Vanity
Vanity
Seen all the works under the sun
seen all the works under the sun
Vanity
it's vanity

What good is the world when your soul is lost
what's silver and gold to a priceless cost
tell me
tell me 
what are we chasing?
tell me

cos the money is just numbers
numbers do not end
how long will you be chasing
the hunt it never ends
oh
the more you get, and the more you want
do you even know if you've got enough
when there's always something to spend it on

Seen all the works under the sun
seen all the works under the sun
Vanity
Vanity
Seen all the works under the sun
seen all the works under the sun
Vanity
it's vanity

Satisfaction never
the illusion of what's better
tell me
tell me what are we chasing 
tell me

cos the money is just numbers
numbers do not end
how 
how
how
how long will you be chasing these
the hunt it never ends
oh
the more you get, and the more you want
do you even know if you've got enough
when there's always something to spend it on

spend it, spend it
spend it spend it on
Seen, seen, seen all the works under the sun
seen, seen, seen all the works under the sun
under the... Vanity

Lyrics:

Davina:
Verse 1-
They don't know who I am 
They don't where I come from 
They don't where I've been 
Yet dem mouth getting don don 
Oh A system of skin 
Categorised just to function 
No respect for what's within 
Turn your mind into dungeon 

Davina
Prechours-
So make we 
Bang the drum of preparation
Sharpen the sword of my truth
Some war paint call it make up 
Light up the way for the youth
Independent education 
Group economics too 
Support our organisations 
Teach our children the truth 

Davina
Chorus-
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 









Preyé
Verse 2-
I know who I am 
I know where I come from 
I know where I've been 
I know there's a God above 
I know there's hidden history 
more to life than what meets the eye 
the beginning of victory 
Starts with the power of mind 


Preyé & Davina
Prechorus-
So make we 
Bang the drum of preparation
Sharpen the sword of my truth
Some war paint call it make up 
Light up the way for the youth
Independent education 
Group economics too 
Support our organisations 
Teach our children the truth 

Preyé & Davina
Chorus-
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 
Oh wha ya say no,
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 


Davina
Bridge -
It's war of mind and soul 
Put your body under control
It's war of mind and soul 
Put your body un
Put your body un 
It's war of mind and soul 
Put your body under control
It's war of mind and soul 
Put your body un
Put your body un 

Preyé
It's war of mind and soul 
Put your body under control
It's war of mind and soul 
Put your body un
Put your body un 

Davina & Preyé
Chorus-
Oh na na 
Oh na na 
Oh na na na 
Oh wha ya say no,
