YOUR ROOM

TIME

A warrior anthem forged in wisdom and flame… We Don’t Respond or Despond rises like a sermon for the streets, a lyrical doctrine where conflict dissolves and truth stands firm. Jah-Femi spits from a place of grit and revelation, turning restraint into power and peace into a weapon sharper than steel. This track breathes philosophy, street scripture, and divine clarity wrapped inside Alternative Hip-Hop… the sound of a man who’s seen the shadows yet walks with heavenly strength.

Written, Produced, composed, arranged, performed by Jah-Femi Telewa


Lyrics 
00:00-01:39
Intro
It is known, a battle is not truly won with swords
There is more advancement  & power with words
Of what use is the blood of your enemy 
Rather seek to kill the envy
That your reward shall be plenty
Yes Lawd

Verse one

Holla back at my enemy not me
Life of being friendly truly hindered me
It prevented me for killing you
From doing the evil thing that other men do 

The devil-   loves to creep deep at night
Handling affairs  just make sure you sleep tight 
Knowing everything he does ain’t right
But shine your light right and he just might take flight

Chorus 
We Don’t Respond or Despond
What use is this beef if I carry it Beyond 
Your Trapped like fishies in the pond
Stack credits in the sky, for the hope of no refund 

We Don’t Respond or Despond
What use is this beef if I carry it Beyond 
Your Trapped like fishies in the pond
Stack credits in the sky, for the hope of no refund 

Talk: man I don’t know why these people catching feelings off some lyrical stuff man does
It’s like a bunch of dogs trapped in a cage with you waving sticks at 
Em 
barking and howling
Chill baby… show some self respect
And move with grace and dignity 
And maybe just maybe you’ll
Be blessed too
The Skys the limit when you see past your limit 
Be like water my friend 
flow freely
 embody the Confining situation you’re in 
That you may own your body and world
Facts 

Verse Two
 (01:40–02:59)

Ain’t no victory in a tongue that lies,
Real strength is calm when the chaos flies,
They throw shade just to block your rise,
But wisdom never argues, it just replies in sighs.

The world loves noise but truth moves quiet,
Energy’s currency, don’t sell to the biased,
Stand firm in storms, don’t join the riot,
The wise build peace, the fools just try it.

Keep your focus sharper than pain,
Diamonds form only after the strain,
Walk through thunder, embrace the rain,
Then bless your enemies, and break the chain.

Every scar’s a medal that time refines,
The soul’s still gold even when it declines,
The path of grace ain’t meant to shine,
It’s forged through trials by grand design.

So I rest my case, not my will to fight,
The greatest war’s to master your sight,
Respond to hate with silent might…
And let your peace scream through the night.


3:00-End 

Verse 3

So now it’s come to the finale verse
What good is life if you’re living off a curse
The witches brew spills out her purse
Scenes of the past relived in reverse
Words that put men in a hearse  
Peace to the dead for you won’t be the first
Hard work does earn the thirst
True living spills out of badness you reject
Just know the schemes of evil dejects
Be good with yourself cool vibes thou inject
Peace be on to those that spit

Harsh realities of life cause they’ve  lived through grit

I don’t care if you’re not feeling it
I drop the mic on pastures till the day turns lit
The evil darkness shys away
When it gets a true glimpse of the sun heated rays


Talk 
When kids run out to play
I request the day’s safe as I bow to pray
Knowing we live in a wicked world 
That spins off the drenched blood of it’s children 
Still there’s light around the bend 
Seek to unite for the devil can’t distort a Holy blend

Green Light (prod by Hoodrixh)

Just yesterday I was so young
Strawberry fields had just begun
I was a the walrus, I was so sad
I said goodbye, I must have been mad

You can breathe it, love in the air
You can feel it, love in the air
You can see it, love in my stare
There’s a love in your words, a love in your touch, 
a love on your lips, I love you so much

Before I held you, I was so lost
Life was a game regardless of cost
You kissed my mouth and then I was glad
But I was a fool, I didn't know what I had

You can breathe it, love in the air
You can feel it, love in the air
You can see it, love in my stare
There’s a love in your words, a love in your touch, 
a love on your lips, I love you so much

Where we walk, love seems to grow
Above, behind us, and below  
Who around us, would not know
The love in your words, love in your touch, love on your lips

You can breathe it, love in the air
You can feel it, love in the air
You can see it, love in my stare
There’s a love in your words, a love in your touch, 
a love on your lips, I love you so much

(I love you so, love you so, love you so much)
(I love you so, love you so, love you so much)
(I love you so, love you so, love you so much)
Oh, love in your words, love in your touch, 
love on your lips, I love you so much

Love in the Air

Yo, the pain that I'm feelin’ can’t be stopped with any healin’,
It’s buildin’ up, this time it’s different, you know the dealin',
Prescribed some medicine that I don’t even take,
When it’s going full speed, who’s there to hit the brakes?

Who can I vent to? Moments that stress you,
Spoke to God, hit the temple, I guess too,
My mental is wainin’, I’m done with complainin’,
Yesterday was rainin’, no sun shinin’, just painin’.

Tragedy strikes, who’s countin’ up the run-time?
Feelin' happy, but that’s only sometimes,
Greatest fear lurkin’, yeah, if my mum dies,
Same grave site, where the son lies, fuck the goodbyes.

Bit the forbidden fruit, damn, I abused it,
Life's a wild ride, so damn confusing,
All these lessons learned, yet I’m still losin’,
Bipolar curse, government on a purge,
Stealin’ from society’s purse, yo, what a nerve.

Yo, the pain that I'm feelin’ can’t be stopped with any healin’,
It’s buildin’ up, this time it’s different, you know the dealin',
Prescribed some medicine that I don’t even take,
When it’s going full speed, who’s there to hit the brakes?

Who can I vent to? Moments that stress you,
Spoke to God, hit the temple, I guess too,
My mental is wainin’, I’m done with complainin’,
Yesterday was rainin’, no sun shinin’, just painin’.

On the verge, can’t climb back from this trap,
If I’m on God’s time, will I ever get the time back?
Emotional journey, strap in for the ride,
Took love for granted, where the hell is my bride?

Maybe I might die alone, feels like a fucking curse,
Shoulda had you by my side, now I’m stuck in reverse,
Feelin' drained, dealin’ with the strain of life,
Almost changed for the worse, man, it cuts like a knife.

Yo, the pain that I'm feelin’ can’t be stopped with any healin’,
It’s buildin’ up, this time it’s different, you know the dealin',
Prescribed some medicine that I don’t even take,
When it’s going full speed, who’s there to hit the brakes?

Who can I vent to? Moments that stress you,
Spoke to God, hit the temple, I guess too,
My mental is wainin’, I’m done with complainin’,
Yesterday was rainin’, no sun shinin’, just painin’.

Demons surround me, schemin’ like a motherfucka,
Took too many pills last evening, still grievin',
Bout pops who left, we can’t retrieve him,
Cut the hands of the thieves, who’s still bein' deceivin’?

Pain that I’m feelin’, can’t be stopped with any healin’,
This shit’s so real, and it’s motherfuckin' revealin’.
Yeah, that’s the dealin’.
Pain in the Building 

Yo, the pain that I'm feelin’ can’t be stopped with any healin’,
It’s buildin’ up, this time it’s different, you know the dealin',
Prescribed some medicine that I don’t even take,
When it’s going full speed, who’s there to hit the brakes?

Who can I vent to? Moments that stress you,
Spoke to God, hit the temple, I guess too,
My mental is wainin’, I’m done with complainin’,
Yesterday was rainin’, no sun shinin’, just painin’

Tragedy strikes, who’s countin’ up the run-time?
Feelin' happy, but that’s only sometimes,
Greatest fear lurkin’, yeah, if my mum dies,
Same grave site, where the son lies, fuck the goodbyes.

Everybody Dies In Their Nightmares [Demo]

Yo, Niel Armstrong, one small step for man,
But let’s rewind, back to where it all began,
Cardiff undergrad, with a dream in my hand,
Back then I was a teen, world quiet, I took a stand.
Only me, making noise, breaking through the silence,
Poised for greatness, I was fueled by my defiance.
Used my voice, not musically, just on that stage,
Turning chapters in my life, I’m just flipping the page.

One small step, it’s a helluva climb,
Spitting truth, this is my moment, my time.
From Cardiff to the cosmos, watch me rocket,
Embarking on a journey, no way to stop it. x2

Thought I knew it all, back a decade ago,
Then pops bounced, left me high, feeling so low.
Engaged, ambitious, ready to embrace,
Life’s a marathon, but I’m sprinting through the race.
Disaster struck, psychotic episode,
System crashed, man, it felt like an error code.
But I rose from the ashes, fierce recovery,
Found my path in music, that’s my discovery.

One small step, it’s a helluva climb,
Spitting truth, this is my moment, my time.
From Cardiff to the cosmos, watch me rocket,
Embarking on a journey, no way to stop it. x2

Friends and foes, yeah, I lost a few,
Baggage on the road, but I’m breaking through.
Only Gbenga could write, integrity so tight,
Praying for that Nigerian boy, chasing the light.
These days it’s health, meds keeping me sane,
Dealing with the ladies, but it’s all just a game.
Late nights, candlelit, lost in the glow,
Balancing the chaos, how the fuck do I know?

One small step, it’s a helluva climb,
Spitting truth, this is my moment, my time.
From Cardiff to the cosmos, watch me rocket,
Embarking on a journey, no way to stop it.
