THE GOLDEN PIG

They claim to have brought us out of Egypt
But never have I tasted the fruits of thy promised land
Was it really necessary for a democratic plan? 
Or they just still experimenting on me? 
Freedom cry has not fulfilled my expectations
But at least it's a weapon they fear in the streets
I wonder men who brought us independence,
Forever remain our only celebrated heroes.
So sad they even own jewelry stores,
Knowing that I'm their only mine
Who am I....

WONDER LOVER

Hello Indiana,
You beautiful like Ariana
Do you smoke Marijuana
It feels nice like you in Havana
Could we be like Dolce and Gabbana
Imma turn you into a star like Tatiana
Take you for a trip in the Savannah
I go make your dreams come true like Hallelujah

MISS SUMMER

Hope I'm the only one you call beb
Every time you go to bed 
Keep it low-key with them blues
Or listen to my lyrical bars
You Promised to be my only 
I go keep it a hundred with you bae
You pretty thick with some big booty
I love everything 'bout your body
Go put on your bikini
Lemme take you out to the beach
Bang you hard from the bay
With no sweeting in its coastal breeze

FADED ROSE

She appeared she was lost
When I found her on the spot
To our memories, I proposed a toast
Guess I became her very best

She was beautiful miss moonlight
Her face glowing like candlelight
With a bright face full of delight
She was so amazing like the twilight

Memories still valid 
She was beautiful, miss Violet
She was pure and I verified
But her intentions I victimized

Hakuna Matata

My spirit is broken down 
But still I'm shouting reject
Hope all that Gen-Z has 
Everyday praying for better days
Oh God of all creation
Living standards is beyond our means

Everybody is preaching peace
But there's no peace in the ghettos
No justice for Liberators
True soldiers six feet beneath
No Tom and Jerry plays in the streets
Mr. Leader better be real

So many mouths to feed 
Ghettos can't even pay them bills
Poverty truly a disease 
See hoodlums turning into goons
What happened to your manifesto
I wonder is democracy in your freewill

LIEFE

What if,
We all strangers travelling the same road
What if, 
We all desperate souls trapped in our own existence
What If,
We just lost and found beings 
What if...

FROM THE DAYS WHEN

From the days
When we was faded 
From the days
When we denied our reflection on the mirror
From the days
When our spirit was feeding on our souls
From the days 
When we deepened our pain in salvation that somehow, we would arise in multitudes and rejuvenate with grace such that we would proclaim that we are redeemed.
From the days
When we was angered and caged with rage that someday we would stand on stage and introduce the chapters of our page
From the days 
When we cold with remorse
From the days 
When we was desperate, but with hope

PEACE AND LOVE

Man, a Rasta 
Screw them Babylon
No more bondage 
I and I guidance
Zion my portion 
Selassie my saint
Roots my culture
One love my anthem
JAH RASTAFARI

MISTAKES

Mistakes
Mistakes
Mistakes

How many times
Am I gonna keep on making mistakes
Yesterday it felt real
Today it seems a mistake
How is it even possible 
Wrong decision-
Keep chasing my destiny?
My fate in life is clear 
But my path is uncertain
I wonder even if
My kind is rare 
When shall circumstances be fare
For the chances I dare

WHAT IF? - EP2

What if
I say I'm in love with you
Will your instincts trust my feelings?
What if 
I choose to fall for you
Will you be loyal till I die?
What if 
I decided to ride or die with you
Will you promise to have my back?
What if 
My feelings for you die
Will you still kiss me goodbye?
What if 
I don't live to see tomorrow 
Will you shed a tear when I'm gone?
What if...
