Sijui ni wangapi wata'define my history,
Wakitumia hii story.
But kitu najua ni ati nkifa,
maybe;
Walevi ndo watachangisha doh kwa matanga,
na maybe;
Wengi watasema Marto alikuwa tanker.
Na ukijaribu ksema marto alikuwa wa youth ya church,
apo ndo MC atalenga iyo...

planted in the mind, another way of being
outside spectrum, the act of forgiveness
the lore of love, united with the Seven Sisters

It has been a while 
Far away many a mile
Not heard from you
But now I extend my word
How are you dear mother?
Huku mjini Nakazana
Najipanga nikutembelee nikipata mshahara
Pitisha salamu kwa ndugu na dada
Huku ni Vituko, Wenye...

I AM HIV/AIDS

While the Book of Revelation warned you about me.

I am growling like a lion,

Ilianza na masalamu za hewani.
"Niaje".
Masmile za confusion,
Fusion ya lust na trust,
Compilation ngori ju huoni mahali mnafikishana
Mbio za ujana huishia kitandani,
Au kwa cell ndani.

Makosa ni kukosa kuona future
Kwa mkono nikatattoo hour glass,
So that every morning nikiamka...

The spirit lost its belonging 
Running out of Ancestors peripherals

Trees are throwing out branches 
Thinking of a single brain 
Diamond things hard to...

Juzi juzi tulikuwa tunakutana 
Kwenye mishwari tulipitana
Hili na lile tuliambiana
Menzangu ukaenda majuu
Kufika kule ukajiona wewe mungu 
Uliotuacha huku nyuma ukatufananisha na vyungu 
Haya yote yalinifanya nihisi uchungu
Lakini usijali siku hadi siku Nitarudisha zangu nguvu.

Umerudi jana,...

Swahili verse

We, bwana
Kaw kweli
Kwa kweli
Hebu ngoma yaani HIM

Kuimba kwa sauti nyimbo na
Sauti kwa mfalme
Mkuu mimi ni
Baba, Mungo wa Baba
Njoo sasa, njoo sasa
Hebu kuabudu kwanza hapa duniani
Silaha na mikono aliinua...

I was asleep
And in my dreams were visions
Visions of beauty grandeur
For there were
Angels
Interacting moving so invasively
Such wonders
A delight beautiful as prisms and lights and they were. . .
They was wonderful

They were wonderful to...

I'm BLACK, and I've got.
I got a right to live.
Mimi ni mweusi, na nimepata.
Nilipata haki ya kuishi.
Nilipata haki ya kuishi.
Nilipata mengi ya kutoa.
Kwa Mataifa haya ambayo hayajaunganishwa.
Ambao watu wengi husemwa vibaya.
Nilipata haki ya kusikilizwa.
