Maturity by TULE Sunday

Maturity?
It all started with a menstrual cramp/
Few weeks ago her chest flat.. but her breasts out now/
She sneaks out of the house... in her bag, there's an extra gown/
And a make up kit/
Parte..after...Parte she dey shake body/
She never use to drink but now she takes Trophy/
Or any other beer with a plate of fish/
High grade Arizona and a pack of Bohem in her bag... smoke up... she stays naughty/
About to write her 4th Jamb now what can she make of it?/
Admission she prays for it but while she waits for it/
She got a job as a teacher in a private school/
But she went there to Jirate too/
So she got fired the next week/

""""So many bad decisions ....
Maturity isn't yet on the check list/
She's 22 now I guess she isn't old enough for maturity give her some more time .. let's see/"""

23 years when she got in school/
Year one, fresher.. but she posed like a FYB for her? It isn't nothing new/
So many guys approaching and they all seem cool/
So she doesn't choose/
Today she's with Aaron, tomorrow Jermain and the next she's in the club with Yul/
She doesn't take money after sex and that is the only thing that differentiates her from a prostitute/
She got pregnant the first time and aborted... she got pregnant the second time and aborts it too/
Till it became a normal act/
Her colleagues graduated but she stayed back.. extra year?? Yep! A formal fact/

""""Another set of bad decisions...
She's 27 now and maturity still isn't on the check list/
Should we still give her more time? Well.. let's see/"""""

"Kopa wee oh!" Was the chant she heard when she came to camp/
The speaker continued........ "You have planned to fail because you failed to plan"/
Ooooooh! Who is this one????
Which kind parade be this?? I hate to stand/
She mummured"
She didn't even know what was going on she was 4 days late to camp/
She's 29 now and After spending two extra years in school? The same old qualms/
She ain't no champ/
Barely a week in camp she was caught with drugs/
So she was demobilized.. sent off the course/NYSC is now off the plot/
Afterall she never took it serious .... she called it bluff/
She lived her life not caring about the consequences or result/
And that caused it all/

""""Another set of bad decisions...
Maturity still not on the check list/
Should we give her some more time? Well again... let's see/"""

She's 35 now and still not married/
All her mates have stable families but her life is on a contrary/
No mature guy ever comes her side/
So she started dating younger guys/
George was 21 she loved him because he had stronger vibes/
He also told her he loved her... but all na lie/
He was cheating/
She found out and she stopped thinking/
She shot him in the head ...... ..... he stopped breathing/

"You have been found guilty of murder" that's the judge speaking/
"You are hereby sentenced to life in prisonment" oh God! Her ship was sinking/
"What have I done" she cried! Frozen up she's not blinking/
Was this immaturity or it was luck missing?/

Bad decisions upon bad decisions..
Maturity still isn't on the check list/
She's 38 now isnt maturity suppose to be one of her best gifts??/
But they say age is nothing but a number/
So what then is maturity??? I wonder/
