Femenism

I would rather be Independent 
Than be a picture in his frame
The rules have changed but this is not a game
Would rather stand on my own two feet than be dependent
Its time we take femenism to that next level call me an extremist
Why should  I get payed less for the same job a man does ,lets bring in realism
If women stopped working the world would come to a screeching halt
Business itself would come to a pause and the impact would be felt
Why are we treated unfairly by the male counterpart
Coming to job interviews does not mean they should promote sexual terrorism
Why are we forced to think inside the box, are we rectangular prisms
I wanna break free from the patriachal stigmatism 
This fight for equal rights is much deeper than that of materialism
It seems a daughter can live up to all  the expectations ,but will never receive the same love and recognition from a father,a love that  has no EQUILIBRIUM
People are taking the F out of femenism and calling it EMENISM/ENEMISM
Fighting for my rights as a woman and they calling it Nazism
I will keep fighting until every woman in the world OWNS her own network like Oprah  the criticism
I'd rather be the voice of change than let my ambitions lie dormant,Im the voice of activism
Its like the French revolution and this has turned into fascism
Turning a blind eye to injustice at any level towards us is not heroism

Losing Myself

Feeling lost confused
Void unsatisfied
What is my purpose here
Why do i have a lot of fear
Anxiety
Eating for no reason

Trying to fill a void of
unprecedented depth
My biggest fear is losing
myself to the darkness
inside of me
Feel like a plastic bag, drifting
through the wind
Wanting to start again


What is my purpose here
Sometimes the pain is too great
I just think to myself im better off dead
silenced by death of my sorrows
But each time i put a gun to my head
Your image appears in front of me

I hate you because i love you
But what can i do
Im powerless to the elements
Crumbling like the walls of Jericho
But nobody can hear me, im sixfeet under
Where is my super man i wonder
Why do i have to suffer
For the mistakes of others
The sins of our Fathers

Im short circuiting 
Going off the ramps
Wish life came with a GPS
Stranded
Planted in a desert
I thirst for hope , love,life and happiness
Lord is there an end to the madness

Fallen Angel,Fallen Hero

Have you ever heard
The fall of an angel
The fall of the man
Who was once a hero
For years you have been a curse
More than you are a blessing
The children of the commoners are dying
While your children live like Kings
What Gluttony
Muttony
And that Jezebel,Eve you have for a wife
Will be the death of us all
If she bites the fruit again in this life time
We are all doomed again
You say you are God sent
Then why do you resemble the resistance of the Devil
Like an Anaconda you keep suffocating
The wealth of the country
It is because of you it never rains
And crops die
But you don't see it
You are like a mosquito, vampire
Sucking our daily bread
Our children are now subject to the changes you made
The decisions  you made were not wise
And yet you compare yourself to Solomon
But I guess it is true cause you too strayed
It is true that too much power in one man's hand is Dangerous
You are no longer a man of valour
But a mere Gangster
And we are living in your paradise
You sit there and call yourself Moses
This is why we need a Joshua
To take us to the promised land

Scared

Creeping 
Beeping
I am sitting in a silent storm
haunting taunting
Your love is a mirror reflection of gold
Each day i wait for  your retaliation
But you know me so well
Calculated my every move
You keep me at bay when you know that
passion is at the door
Your love makes me rise 
like dough bread in an oven
Taste so good
But too much of your love is poisonous
I am hungry now Im like a bloodhound
eating hearts for dinner
Because i cannot have yours
i will have to act like the Rozvi and destroy 
Everything in sight
You mean so much to me
Yet in my mind i kill you a thousand times
but in my heart you live on
Your love is as powerful as death
I feel like i have died everyday waiting for you
My oasis in the desert
My light in the dark
Thee one my hearts desire

My Disease

Listening to Charlie Puth
We don't talk anymore
had me thinking of you
how you loved me
how you still love me
but we don't talk anymore
Your my heart and soul
but when i let you go
i didn't think you would take 
a part of me
with you, and i know you love me
but i wanted you to say it
i wanted you to show it
i admit i jumped the gun
but you could have caught me
but instead you let me fall
Every time i see you, i get
the same feeling as if it was
the first time
i didn't move on because
i got over you,
but because i wanted you 
to fight for me
i wanted to motivate you
i wanted you to save me
Now i have sent myself to hell
and i  want you to be my hero
im not even in love
because when love becomes an obligation
that has to be met because of guilt
its no longer love
inside im empty, will you come and
take me back
fight for my love and honour
save me from the beast
i feel like im slowly dying
loosing your life support
sometimes i wish i wasn't in love with you
so i wouldn't feel like im driving
the wrong car when im with him
As if my heart is in the wrong body
i miss the way you kissed me
there was just something magical, 
without you i feel as though im
dead inside and out

Desire

Why does everything i do make me more confused
I thought i was done with you
With your love, thought i had buried you for good
but because i was addicted to it
I went and exhumed it
but i still could not get too close
because i was afraid to get hurt
to get burnt
but my love you had earnt
You made me throw my first love under the bus
Cause you were the new buzz
But still i kept a distance
like two scared children watching
a firework show, cause i they were afraid to get hurt
But now im with someone else
And im afraid history is going to repeat it self
You make me weak in the knees
You are my kryptonite
Like a demon i can't exorcise
why do we deny it when we both feel it
its a pity that the people we  say we love
will get hurt because of us
My mind, my heart my body my soul belongs to you
King of my heart
Your like murder i can't escape from
a prison, im barred for life
If it was hell i would probably be in red flames
You got my heart and i don't know what to do
I feel like Forbidden Passions
Your my Bruno and im our Bianca
The passion never ends
The kind of love we have could destroy the world
But i don't know who to choose, im stuck in a twilight zone
Do i choose the wolf or the bloodsucker
This movie seems like its got a series of sequels
And yes i know that their love ain't equal
But can you really choose between air and water
Yoou need both to live
The love that we have deserves  a love child
at least one
Cause how how come i can feel your fire
Your every desire
From a distance
of how you want to annilhate me in bed
and show me that im yours
As you demand respect
and put your logo on me as if i was
your company
where you own all the shares
Cause you are selfish
I long to kiss those sweet delictable lips
cause im famished
And like Bruno Mars its like i've been locked out of heaven 
for too long
Like Hailee Steinfield i didn't know that i was starving till i tasted you
Your lips they set off, gauze my fire
Ignite my every desire
Kill all doubt and cautions
Takes away inhibition
And i become your dummy, your puppet
And you touch me and, caress my innr most parts
i loose control of the car
And you take the wheel
Try to fight back but its no use
Cause of your seductive ways
My waterfalls open and you swim up me and, and.....
I gasp with pleasure
I, i ...... can almost cry cause love never felt so good
Your quite magical, quite angelical
Cause you take me to the climax
When you play me like a spanish guitar

Ghetto

The pain of the Ghetto
is like hot salt on my heart
Permeating into a heartburn
Its heavy on my heart
it weighs on my heart
Like a bucket of heavy bricks
I feel like im carrying a chain,
heavy pendant



Its weighing me down and i can't 
be happy
Feel like im carrying a cross
And its full of thorns
Im facing crucifixion 
And i don't know if i will rise 
in three days
Where is my tombstone
Mr Flinstone

I am gonna get stoned 
Like Stephen
Then we are even
Dark days
Dark thoughts
Empty bottle its a nuisance
Sweet liquor , swimming pool
Cloud nine 
High heaven

What up who cut the music
Am i in a graveyard
Or am i a graveyard
Sweet silence disturbance
Throw me in the furnace

Broken Record

Here we go again
Im confused again
I thought i had put everything behind me
Cleared my path and and here you are again
Why do we keep going back and forth
Like a broken record
That history recorded,
Is it because its what we are
A broken record

That history recorded
I wish i had amnesia
Then i could forget you,
but the heart is not forgetful i guess
And it's because of you i stress
to my heart i confess
that living without you is hell
wish i could disperse ,
because im at a point where
I just want to shut down
My life is a mess 
And this is just pointless

Sins of Our Fathers

Don't mistake the dead 
For stagnant statues in the ground
Cause they are still alive
Very much alive in their clans
In their homes
They even walk around 
You just can't see them 
With your naked eyes
They are alive
Still making demands 
To the living 
For the wrong that would have 
been done to them
They make the children of the
wrong doers pay
Pay for the sins 
Of their fathers
Especially the Girl child
She is used to pay of debts,
Ngozi and so on
I cry, weep for the Girl child
For so long we have fought 
For equal rights and opportunities
But today eneaquality is still rife
In the form of tradition
We have been suffering eternally
As if we killed Jesus
From the time of Eve
When she ate of the fruit
From the forbidden tree
Now when we give birth we 
must know pain
After raising our child,
It is then given off to a Ngozi
And the cycle continues
The sins of our Fathers
The cycle
Like that of a mosquito
It only seeks blood
The pains of birth are untold
But to lose a child to a Ngozi 
Is much painful
All hopes and dreams are dashed
It is like playing with water and mud
It was all for nothing
It is only the Daughters who pay 
all their life
For the sins Of Their Fathers
My heart bleeds
Cause they are no longer citizens
But are forever bargaining tools
When will it one day change
When will the tears Of the Girl child fade
Call it a spade for a spade
The price for another human is another human
We are jumping into another form of slavery
And we do not even know it
Daughters are the price of our Father's sins
Suddenly life feels like a bed of thorns
The ones which we did not make for ourselves
We are  nevertheless forced to lie in it
The pain in my heart hurts like a dagger to the
chest
Even in these modern times
We are still slaves
To the cameras
We are still daily abused
Society uses us to sexually gratify themselves
And in return we are given a piece of paper 
that they call money
That doesn't even give us an ounce of dignity
But we are far too deep in the rabbit hole
To realise the truth for it is too dark
And we are both blind
For ,''Another man cannot lead another blind man.
They will both fall into a ditch''

When Words Are Put To Paper

There is something about you
I feel like your the healing
I must get back to
A paradise under heaven
That is in my heart
Just a mere mention of your name
makes me blush 
Your image makes me glow 
You are like a rythm
a beat that immediately awakens 
and appeals to all my senses
set my heart ablaze
you tantalize my taste buds
Ease my mind and, caress me
Under you i am subdued
You got me in a trance
in a state
i can't break out of,
Paralysed with you i am helpless
i follow your every whim
its as if you re my twin
My mirror
