Lift Me Up When Am Down
Lift me up when am down
I mean it good
When I write
What I write
I mean no grudge
Either do I intend a fight
For I am a man with love
Like I write from my soul
Is clear we all see
Is obvious
if you are yet to observe
That Africa is not among
Among what
do your
Home work or rather
Research oh people
Then after point fingers at me
If it worth it
Like is clear africa
are
Part of the so called
Third world contries
Oh fox I don't write to beg
For I am on the path of nature
I don't need what
You perceive I don't
Have
or I have what u
Are yet to understand
one can't know nature
With out love
If I provoke you
Bro is not intensional
Oh lift me when
Am down
For life is love
Not a fight for
Survival
Lift me up when am down
Why do we have to fight
For survival of life
Mostly in Africa
Tell me if it make sence
Hmmm..., bro
Why do you sit and just
Act like all is good
No am not of that way
We all got to deal with reality
Like I write with a blue pen
if now is like it is
I wonder what be tommorow
So when I sing my songs of
Freedom don't stop me
Oh lift me when
am down
For life is love
Not a fight for
Survival
Lift me up when am down
My grand father was a king
In Africa
I was born like they say
From a royal family
I see the so called poor
People as they live
With a grief of an unknown
Hmmm.....is a pity
For Mother Nature
Has enough for all
That make me
Realise that the greed of
Man is the root of all
Evil
Most worst our ignorance
Is our war
What a calamity
So when am down
With my write
Lift me up
Oh lift me up
When am down
For life Is love
Not a fight for
survival
Lift me up when am down
I will keep moving
The ladder of my
Write have too many
Steps am yet to reach
Here you see I can't
Gave up or rather
Be moved by mere comment
And isolation
The harder it is
Oh the better I write
For when am down
At worth she (nature)
Lift me high
To her freedom
Oh lift me up
when Am down
For life is love
Not a fight for
Survival
