Still I Stand
Still I stand
Like a soldier man,
gone far away on a war,
I am miles away from home,
In diaspora I was found wondering,
Like a man on a mission,
It like do or die outside of home,
Passing through a lot just to survive,
Faceing the challanges from unknown culture,
dealing with a tradition not familiar to me,
Struggleing to speak a new language,
Solving the daily matimatic of my day to day bills,
Where the ladies with hills always wanna feel a taste of my blackmanba,
Is not an easy road,
When you pass through challenges out of home,
But Despite all,
Still I stand
Every morning I wake up with a defferent mood,
Every night I go to sleep with worries,
Everyday I struggle to make a living,
Worries about my beloved family always in my heart,
How are they doing?
A question I ask myself,
by myself in my mind all time
Every Christmas is like a normal
Day for me,
But Despite all,
Still I stand
I work my ass off day by day,
Night by night,
My feet hurts me while standing hours,
in the midst of tourist on the high streets,
Watching the people passing by,
Some friendly,
Some not,
I hate my job,
But I got to survive,
Incase if you need to know,
But despite all,
Still i stand
My emotion shakes
Where It suppose to hold me strong,
My hope fail when my desire is somuch in needs,
My passion drive me on a confuse state,
Cos! everything I use to know was about to change,
In a tinkle of an eye,
Just like a time bomb!
But Despite all,
Still I stand
I keep moving like am unstoppable,
I keep on sounding brave like am untouchable,
I keep on smileing like life is so good,
I keep on living like life never end,
Is all about life,
Is all about struggle,
Is all about survival,
But despite all,
Still I stand.
