Starting Today

(Moses Gava Featuring Kudakwashe Victor Shoko) Neither did it start yesterday Nor yesteryear A scroll further backward Deep into the historical era I could see him crawling During those years of polling They were born egoistical I wish I were not Philanthropic, I would have preferred To see them holding my trifles At them I would fire a rifle Only that my fingers couldn't shoot to kill With strong aversion I behold them thriving Because I'm striving At them I'm diving Only to interpose To forslow them Of course If jealousy were a disease Surely I would be among the ill Opting to get well soon And so, Starting Today I will loathe no more I will cheer evermore Economically and Socially I am ailing Starting Today I will retreat into writing My treasure, My company Lies in that realm It's my world, I create what I want This world Is an awfully awful place I'll shrink from it And venture into were I find solace Starting Today I'll excrete sadness and sorrow I'll take gulps of happiness, Today not tomorrow Things cannot go in your favor always, Let that sink in You can't create happiness in someone's world You'll be altering its design, Create your own world Happiness or solace, You'll put what you want Hell or paradise of your making, How is that? The orator is Starting Today When is your today? Today is today, Start Today Starting Today, let's all Start Today You know what you want, get it Today
