Hellooo
My name is Emmanuel
I am calling after a long spell of silence
After a long break of the past
After the days we used to be pals
Do you recall this voice?
I hope you do…so well
I did not recognize that voice called Emmanuel…not so well
I did not recall giving my number out
But he, Emmanuel
He insisted he knew me…so well
I am calling to say how rich I have become
I am calling to explain to you how I became rich overnight
The things I did right
I am the C. E. O. of E Group of Companies
I own a chain of businesses
I own a lot of properties
Many are those who benefit from my benevolence
Many I have lifted from grass to grace
Many, whose stories I have changed
Why not you, my dear friend?
What are friends for?
What I have I share
When I care I share
A fair share of my millions I spare
This is my private number
You can call me
Or you can come over
In the meantime contact Osei
This is his hot line
He is my business pal
Trusted
Don’t ask too many questions
Trust him
Do as he tells you
Trust him
You buy hundred boxes of the product
You make hundred percent profit
It’s a fifty-fifty deal
A real deal
You win
I win
We win
But be warned, my friend
Don’t let him know our deal
Our little secret
Our Trump card
Our little secret
Our success pack
Up I hanged
I had more questions than answers
Must I call Osei?
Does he know Emmanuel?
Does he know him so well?
Must I dial his hotline?
What would he tell me?
A little patience
A little consultation
And a jury’s verdict:
A deal, too good to be true
A deal, so crafted to dupe
So don’t call Osei
We know what he’d say
He’d say, be quick and don’t delay
He’d say it’s an opportunity you must not miss
You delay at your own loss
He’d tell you to hurry up
Pay through mobile money
To make more money
At little cost
A jury recommended a command:
Block this blockhead of a scammer
Forever
Block him with a sledgehammer
So I did
A word for the wise to listen
I blocked Emmanuel’s line
So well
For so long
But I know
I know Osei would be waiting
Waiting eagerly for a call on his hotline
But never
Never could they have their way
Emmanuel and Osei
I worked my way
Out of harm’s way
