When Life  gives you lemon, you make lemonade

A Duet By:
Thee Thermodrasly Khensil (south African)
Fuad Opeyemi (Nigerian)

When the worms cries out
And our stomach churn painfully
Life gave us more,  
All we do is move on,
wasted and rotten away,   are Africans
πŸ‘ˆ Opeyemi πŸ‘‰

Africa,Africa
We came from starvation
We have pride of working
That is why we were made slaves
Because when life its tough we handle it
πŸ‘ˆ Thermodrasly πŸ‘‰

we drip of sweats, Covered in mud
Surrounded by terrifying oceans
But we dig not further,  
We could have found more
Indeed,  life gave us lemon
πŸ‘ˆ Opeyemi πŸ‘‰

Our Ego wavers,  reeking of fear
Like stagnant water,  we sat
African,  we move not forward
Gold buried deep under
But lay down,  uncovered
πŸ‘ˆ Opeyemi πŸ‘‰

Someway some point life can be hard
Life its like a wheel that  rotates
Life needs wisdom
Life needs maturity
And that is what we lack,  Maturity
πŸ‘ˆ Thermodrasly πŸ‘‰

Sheltered under the shade of tranquil
Life throws fishes on our scrawny little hooks
Filling up the potbelly of ours,  Nature gives us more
Greed kicks in,  our mouse attempts to rob more of house owner's
Life then plunge us into hell, thrashed in the pit of dysphoria
πŸ‘ˆ Opeyemi πŸ‘‰
