Verse 1 Dusty feet ashy knuckles that is how we are brought up The tropics in the jungle that's the rain forest Pitch black struggle be the song from these strange artist's Politics is real innocent become martyrs That's the irony of this environment It's like the hope is gone now somebody is mining it Last piece of happiness is something that we grind to get This is Africa where the black science is People out here struggle and fighting the demons And people out here hustle and fight till they bleeding Jealousy is real people die for no reason And we're praying to the lord every day that we're breathing And in our God we believe in As days go by we survive and achieving It doesn't really matter how long as It gets done This is Malawi the home of Madonna's son Verse 2 I'm letting the genie out the bottle We run so many laps around in the sleepy hollow Going through the same convo over and over The whole structure needs Restructuring and better composure Not the mediocre politics driving us closer To the bottom of the food chain Now we need some true change New generation of sharp thinkers new brains Old cats is washed up we need some new things They say Malawi is at the bottom of the food chain Maybe now the problem is Malawi needs some true change We need to know what time it is with the politics And get down to business to build something positive How is it that we tackle same problems and Yet we got a grand clue on how to be solving them It's like the whole country is going crazy And hell is unleashing but nobody complaining

Verse 1 Love is not consolation It is light Thin line between minds the wrong and the right Beauty that enchants me, paralyses sight It's like, nothing else matters in this crazy life Nature does nothing in vain beautiful you Mahogany, my ebony the black woman you You're the black pearl my black world a mother too The black in your melanin is what am digging boo I will climb the mount Everest, I'll walk the fires too I say this on the regular you always keep it true When the rough gets we're the toughest on the move I noticed that you got my back is when the feelings grew Sometimes you make the highs higher and the lows frequent Break up to make up, but still we believe it Best kept secret is the bond that we are keeping It's the song that am speaking, it's the poems from the deepest Verse 2 Be proud of your melanin, be happy with your skin Baby girl your intelligent the beauty is within Not in that Brazilian, but what you're gifted in It's the character, your heart, it's that duty discipline Phenomenal woman it's the fire in your eyes Keep your head sky high with the confidence inside Dominance and pride never showing lowered eyes Feminist that's in the building show them what's alive Get them by surprise show them how you may teach them Running not crawling but their clipping your Achilles They want you in the kitchen not a president or leader Not a doctor or a lawyer better show them you can beat it Encountering defeat don't mean that you're defeated You win or you learn that's how the iron's heated Be strong black woman you're the keeper highest seeded Black don't crack dominant gene that's needed

Verse 1 Out of the red dirt she came Out of that dirt just reign to cross the path of change Lineage of rage from that wrath of Cain To the war in the middle east no man to blame Who's chosen, and who's not She needs the Pandora's box to be unlocked It goes deep in history for them to just stop And jot down the agreement if they tie the knot Mastering the pain while waiting for a blessing Eyes to the sky hoping God gets the message Is black skin colour designed in God's reflection Why the oppression spreading in all directions She carries on Bible in the hand Praying to the lord hoping for another chance Dreams of a brighter day she's sings along While counting her blessings just to stay strong Verse 2 The path of the least resistance he carries on Bitter sweet be the complex and he tags along Dreams deferred and hopes shattered Broken promises remain the hope captured Mask in the face of clown that's smiling Deep inside he's crying the tears leave him drowning Product of a girl that brutally faced defilement In the heat of the moment distorted the perfect timing Diamond in the rough just got the deadly virus And she looks to the sky reply is only silence Product is a bastard that resorts to violence Who dropped out of school became criminal minded He carries on Quran in the hand Praying to Allah Hoping for another chance Dreams of a brighter day he sings along While counting his blessings just to stay strong

Verse 1 In a time long forgotten in a light that's yet unknown She could see me in the morning I'd be there but then alone I'd be shy and contemplating approaching pretty lady I'd be nervous clumsy wording getting goosebumps on the daily Running game for me to cuff her who could try to guess That she'll be part of dream and vision my joy and happiness It's a love beyond question a love that's out of place Out of time and out of reason but unable to erase There's a story and it goes love a hoe and you will see How the raindrop loves flower but the flower loves a bee She's forever part of me without the girl I'm far from free Without the girl I'll honestly have the hardest time to sleep In soliloquy I'm grieving I have told this story well And the dream combined as we is the other tale, I tell She has known a love that's good it's never understood But she'll always quite remember that forever love is good Verse 2 So even in our death our soul's kindred Afterlife matrimony still is closed rigid For your eyes only like the story Cole hinted For your eyes only I'll be standing bold vivid, just witness I love the oldest, love the youngest and the smallest The broadest imperfectly perfect forever worth it Uncountable counting quiet lousy and ungainful You're never perfect, still I love you till it's painful The truth in lies open mindedness in sly My eyes beholding beauty till am old and going blind Soulful sister from my heart its searching eyes Searching beauty and searching you I found surprise A certain duty that got me finding person truly Mahogany black beauty like from an urban movie My BB dub black woman you I love Your beauty was orchestrated from God up above Verse 3 This pain I'm dealing with today the feeling is Everything I'm working for now is quite meaningless I hope the sun will shine it's really cloudy on me With grey skies, broken hearted and I'm really lonely And now I'm all alone walking through this darkness Wondering why you really had to be this heartless I can't stand the life to be apart with You baby girl you got the keys to where my heart is But I am only human I know I got my flaws And now I'm torn apart when I thought I had it all You are the only thing now that really matters for me Now it's a dream deferred now that's really shattered on me You were the perfect woman You were the master piece You were the only peace then to Make my life complete I wish we started over to let go the past To let go the anger and grudges that we have
