Born To Lead

BORN TO LEAD

HE IS A LEADER
BORN TO LEAD  AND RULE
MOSTLY TO MAKE ODERS
HE HAS THE BLOOD OF THE LAND RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS
HE HAS A HEART THAT BELONGS TO THE KING OF THE JUNGLE
WHEN HE ROARS ATTENTION IS SEEKED
HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE
HE IS TO SACRIFICE HIS BELONGINGS TO BUILD A NATION
HE WITHSTANDS EVERY OBSTACLE IN HIS WAY
THE MAIN POINT BEING TO UNITE THE WHOLE NATION
HE IS A MAN OF RIDE
A BOOK OF VALUABLE CONTENT
BUT STILL CARRIES THE PRIDE OF THE NATION ON HIS SHOULDERS
BUT MOSTLY TO MAKE UNITY STAND

BORN TO LEAD....
BORN TO LEAD

I Am Proud

I AM PROUD


AS PROUD AS I AM
I AM PROUD.....
VERY PROUD OF BEING PROUD
PROUD TO BE ME
PROUD TO BE MYSELF
PROUD TO BE A SOUTH AFRICAN
PROUD TO HAVE THE BLOOD OF THE LAND RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS
I AM PROUD OF BEING PROUD
PROUD TO BE PROUD ACTUALLY I AM SO TIRED OF BEING SO PROUD
THAT I WANT TO CONTINUE BEING EXTREMELY PROUD
I AM THE PROUD ME
THE PROUD NATION
THE PROUD SOUTH AFRICAN
I AM PROUD OF MY FREEDOM
PROUD OF MY FREEDOM FIGHTERS
NTATE NELSON ROLIHLAHLA MANDELA
I AM PROUD OF BEING ONE NATION IN ONE
PROUD OF BEING TWO BUT IN ONE
I AM PROUD OF EVENTUALLY BEING PROUD
THE PROUD ONE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO SHARE 
WITH THE WHOLE WORLD HOW PROUD THEY ARE
I AM PROUD
VERY PROUD
AND NOT ASHAMED OF BEING PROUD


PROUD AS I AM....
I AM PROUD....

Dont Change Me For You

Don’t change me for you

If i cannot fit into your box of mystery 
Then don’t change me for you
I am who i am for what i am
I am who i am for what i choose to be
I choose to step in every way that satisfies me
And yet who are you to still try to change me
Into being what you want me to be
Don’t change me for what you know will never
Meet my standard and advantage as a human
Never take your time in trying to correct my every move
And everything that i seem to be doing
Why does it seem like you find everything i do at fault
And yet who are you trying to change me
Put yourself in my shoes and walk a mile you will notice
Don’t need a corrector
Don’t change me in order to be like you because we are never meant to be alike and there is a valid reason we are not alike
Don’t change me for you

How Brave She Is

HOW BRAVE SHE IS

THE BRAVERY OF A WOMAN IS BENEATH HER WILLINGLY CONTROL
SHE SYMPATHYSIS, SHE WEARS THE FATE OF DIGNITY, HONOUR AND RESPECT.THE PRIDE OF A WOMEN IS ON HER SHOULDERS
HER BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN ON THE TYPE OF SKIN BUT THE BEAUTY
IS WITHIN HER PRIDE
SHE MAY FALL, GET HEART BROKEN, HAVE A WOUNDED SOUL AND YET SHE WILL RISE AGAIN. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU MAY TRY TO PULL HER DOWN 
SHE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY OF STANDING ON HER
OWN TWO FEETS AGAIN THATS HOW BRAVE SHE IS 
SHE CAN WITHSTAND ALL OBSTACLES IN HE LIFE
SHE CAN EMERGE FROM ALL TROUBLES THAT SHE WENT THROUGH
AND STILL NEVER GIVES UP
SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY
SHE HAS A MISSION WHICH IS TO FULFIL HER ROLE AS A WOMEN AND SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD HOW CAPABLE SHE IS AND PROVE
HOW BRAVE SHE IS

Not Now

NOT NOW

NOT NOW, NOT AT THE MOMENT, AND UNFORTUNATELY NOT TODAY
THOSE ARE HARSH WORDS I MUST ADMIT BUT 
THE ONLY THING THAT IS WASTED IS TIME BUT MOSTLY BY USING IT UNFRUITFULLY AND UNFAITHFULLY SO
THE USE OF THESE WORDS SEEM HARSH, RUDE AND VERY UNPOLITE
AND MOST GOT SUCCESSFULL TRHOUGH THEM 
SOME GOT POWERFUL THROUGH THEM
SOME GOT MILLIONS USING THEM
SOME GOT BILLIONS USING THEM AND
SOME GOT NOTHING OUT OF THEM
IS IT NOT ABOUT THE WAY WE USE OUR TIME?
WHAT ARE WE SURELY AFRAID OF
BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST MERELY WORDS AND OBVIOUSLY DONT BITE
WHAT ARE WE SURELY SCARED OF?
WHAT IS IT THAT CAN SURELY BE WASTED UNLESS OUR PRECIOUS TIME
SHOULD WE NOT SACRIFICE A BIT OF OUR TIMES THINKING AND DOING POSITVE
EITHER THAT JUST NOT BEING ABLE TO DIFFERENCIATE
TIME IS MONEY, EFFORT AND LIFE NOW WHY MISUSE IT
WHY LET IT FAIL US?
WHY LET IT OVERPOWER US?
NOT NOW....
NOT NOW...
THEY STILL SOUND AND SEEM RUDE TO THOSE WHOM EVENTUALLY
DONT KNOW HOW TO CATEGORISE THEIR DIFFERENT TIMES
NOT NOW....
NOT NOW....
DO THEY STILL SOUND HARSH?
I BET ITS TIME WE INTROSPECTED OURSELVES AND 
WHAT WE TRULY WANT IN OUR LIFES
I STILL INSIST ON SAYING
NOT NOW... NOT NOW

Anonymous

ANONYMOUS

WHY DO YOU WANT TO REMAIN SO SILENT WHILE 
WE KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL?
WHY DO YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GAME OF FORGET WHILE YOU KNOW SOME THINGS ARE NOT EASY TO FORGET?
WHY SHOULD WE KEEP THE DISTANCE WHILE BEFORE YOU COULD NOT SPEND A DAY WITHOUT REMAINING THE UNKOWN?
WHY DO YOU KEEP ON PLAYING THE UNKNOW GAME OF ANONYMOUS?
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY GAIN FROM REMAINING SO SILENT?
IS IT ABOUT THE THINGS I DO?
IS IT ABOUT TH CLOTHES I WEAR THAT MAYBE LETS YOU WANT TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS TO ME?
WHAT IS THE MAIN FAULT AND CAUSE TO THIS SILENT TREATMENT?
IS IT TRULY WORTH IT?
IS IT REALY ABOUT THE ANONYMOUS PART OF REMAINING SILENT
WHY REMAIN SO SILENT?

Lesbian

LESBIAN
HOW COULD YOU A
AND HOW DARE YOU
TREAT HER LIKE THAT
IS SHE NOT HUMAN
IS SHE NOT YOUR SISTER
THEN WHY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER
WHY PRETEND YOU DO NOT CARE
WHY CANT YOU ACCEPT HER THE WAY SHE IS
IS SHE NOT A PERSON
IS SHE NOT HUMAN
WELL TO ME SHE IS 
SHE IS A SISTER TO ME
WHY JUDGE HER IF IT IS NOT YOUR DUTY TO JUDGE
SHE IS LESBIAN
YES SHE IS LESBIAN
AND SHE IS PROUD
WHO ARE YOU TO LOOK DOWN ON HER
SHE DOES NOT NEED YOUR SYMPATHY
SHE IS OK JUST THE WAY SHE IS
AND IF YOU CANT CHANGE HER THEN 
LEAVE HER ALONE
SHE HAD ENOUGH
SHE IS TIRED OF YOU PEOPLE 
CANT YOU GET THAT?
SHE HAD ENOUGH
AND SHE IS A LESBIAN

Is It Too Late

IS IT TOO LATE


IS IT YET AGAIN TOO LATE?
ARE WE TO SOLVE THINGS?
OR SHALL I SAY ITS ALL OVER?
IS IT THE END OF EVERYTHING?
OR IS IT A NEW BEGGINING FOR THE BOTH OF US?
SHOULD WE GO SEPARATE WAYS?
OR SHOULD WE STICK TOGETHER AND FIGHT THIS?
IS IT ALL OVER?
IS IT TOO LATE? 
IS IT TRUE IS IT REALY TRUE?
SHALL I SAY GOODBYE?
OR YOU WANT TO SAY IT FIRST?
IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME?
OR IS IT TOO LATE FOR YOU?
IS IT REALY TOO LATE......

Not In My Name

NOT IN MY NAME


NOT IN MY NAME WILL I LET
YOU OVERSTEP MY DREAMS
NOT BY MY HEART WILL I ALLOW
YOU TO PULL ME DOWN
IT IS BY MY SENSE OF LIVING
THAT I AM DIGNIFIED
WE ARE ALL GIVEN A CHANCE 
TO PAVE OURSELVES BUT
WHO ARE THEY TO TALK BEHIND OUR BACKS
AND MAKE EVERYTHING WE DO SEEM AT FAULT
NOT BY MY NAME WILL I ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN
IT IS BY MY NAME FOR WHO I HAVE BECOME
I HAVE COME TOO FAR FROM WHERE I STARTED FROM
NOT BY MY NAME WILL I ALLOW ANY OF YOU
TO DESTROY WHAT IS NEARLY IN MY HANDS.NOT IN MY NAME

Culture

CULTURE

I AM AN AFRICAN WOMEN
A AFRICAN LEGACY
AN A PROUD NATION
I AM WHAT MY MOTHER SAID I WILL BE
 I AM WHAT MY FATHER THOUGHT I MIGHT JUST BE
I AM THE TRUE REVELER OF MY CULTURE
I AM THE QUEEN OF THE LAND
I AM THE OWNER OF MY LAND
I AM AN AFRICAN WOMEN
MY THOUGHTS ARE OF GREAT POWER
 AND MY MIND ONLY FOCUSES ON BEING A WOMEN
I AM A MOTHER
I AM A SHOULDER TO CRY ON
I AM THE WOMEN I WANTED TO BE
 MY CULTURE....
MY CULTURE
IT HAS BUILT ME 
AND GAVE ME COURAGE TO ROAR LIKE A LION
AND TO PROTECT WITH MY SHIELD AS A MOTHER
CULTURE IS MY OTHER HALF
CULTURE IS MY DIGNITY
CULTURE IS MY HONOR
CULTURE....
