Take Away My Shame
Take away my shame
They go for the award
I go for the message
They want to be popular
I just want a legacy
They are money hungry
In disguise of motivators
I fish them out and remark them
With the songs of my soul
No wonder they don't love my shadow
They can always smell me from afar
Like the dog they want to be
I wonder why they cant learn
I wonder why they keep on being
Egoistic
I wonder what value they think they
Worth
Just to be number one
In a world of illusion
Take away my shame
And protect my path oh God
Cos there are so many vultures
Waiting in vain just to eat me up
Off curse they got no power since
Am alive
They know who I am
When I step up with my songs
They can't stand the truth
But can destroy it and replace
Illusion to humanity
They worship money
And the rest of us
Worth nothing if we got no names
Am too busy living my life
They are busy comparing my life
I got no hate despite I know
Not everyone I know loves me
This is why I hid to the call
Of nature cos always it
Take away my shame
A dedication
