Every morning I just have to see your face
When am rushing, you do more than just slow my pace
Middle of the night you caressing me
I love that at times you let me be
we sacrificed a lot, nothing's given free
You're the bravery that makes all my fears flee
My baby,my gentle breeze
Your smile brings my hot heart to a cold freeze
You loved me though I never was a saint
My ****** soul only you could taint
A lifeless canvas that only you can paint
They look and see but you hold me and I feel invisible
A world where we don't find each other feels impossible
It was a crushing weight
It was a worrying sight
You never spoke you just held my arm
You never spoke just made sure I came close to no harm
Troubling times, you just kept mind calm
Rainy days, with you am at the beach resting under palms
You lift my spirits when my soul drops
Encourage me when my plans flop
With you is when my pain stops

I don't do it because I want to
I do it because my culture demands it
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because if I don't my family and friends look at me funny
I don't do it because I want to
I do it for the fans
I don't do it because I want to
I do for the money and fame
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because that's the game and I'm just a player
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because that's how it has always been done
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because I don't want to be an outcast
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because deep down am afraid I'll be shunned
I don't do it because I want to
I do because I lack the will to change what I've become
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because we somehow decided collectively this is how it should be done
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because it seems better to part of the flock rather than the black sheep
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because they told me to never deviate from the plan
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because I was raised to never question

Lazima uchoose, dooh ama doze
Lazima uchoose, respect alarm ama uisnooze
Lazima uchoose, ujitume ama ulose
Lazima uchoose, ujibuild au *****

Izi ndo vitu hamtaki kuambiwa, izi ndo the truth
Mnataka niseme life ni smooth but Leo siwasooth
Sherehe Sheria ndio inamaliza mayouth
Ukilewa vuguru, Hadi hunaga matooth


Daily unadial pedi ukidai Mali
Jipende buda na for sure utafika mbali
Imagine ukiwa diani ukiorder wali
Si lazima buy iyo jumu expe ati ju ni Kali

Picha ya Kenyatta Kwa walanje ndo unafaa kusaka
Jipe goals Ka Sancho, salah au saka
Mulla mob, nine lives Ka paka
Usijitreat Ka trash we si takataka

But anyway maisha ni yako
Chaguo ni lako
Ntaachia apo ju naskia mtu Kwa mlango
Am sure ni peng Fulani utoka pango

Sites to behold
A time to be bold
Tales to be told
Mysteries to unfold
Calm and composed
Secret and undisclosed
Triumphant and unopposed
Unpretentious , truth overdosed
Broke away from the stranglehold
Blessings sevenfold
Beautiful moments foretold
Brass turns to gold

Jesus once said love others as you love yourself
What happens when you don't even love yourself ?

I dug myself into a hole
I am now just a fraction of the whole
Everything slipping out of my control
Am a red alert if you're on danger patrol

I didn't see the signs
Should have quit the lines
As salty and bitter like brine
Aware it's my last supper but still I dine
Say it's sublime but nothing is fine
Need victory but defeat is mine
If I'm to forget, I'll need more than wine
Can't face this, it's as hard as swallowing a pine
Hate this moment like a moslem despises a swine

the country was laden with corpses, carcasses and calamity
the streets were full of strife and suffering
hearts were burdened, backs were heavy with baggage
all hopes dead, all heads bowed down, all starry dreams denied,
every step treacherous, every eye ever tearful, every lip trembled
energy drained, envy reigned
demons and devils danced, demeaning and devoid of delight
