I want to be different,
want to be unknown and mystic,
want to be the secret you missed,
want to stand for the truth hidden,
want to stand in the booth,
and make a difference,
not to be heard but listened,
to prove damn giftness.
Choosing the scripts,
choosing to win,
hater, catch you on the flip,
when i prove i'm legit,
it will only take a year,
to get me from here,
to all around the sphere,
but i fear,
y'all will need a hearing aid,
this is the rise of a titan,
I swear the earth is going to shake,
lightning always striking the same place,
as long as my hand is on the mic,
the man who's influential,
is the one who uses his temple,
to reach out to your mental,
enrich you with essential -
words to make you will and do,
immortal things like Who Knew !

You through my eyes,
are the rays of light at sunrise,
the only reason that makes me rise -
like the apes,
you make me feel in so many ways,
a feeling that fills my entire being,
feels like filia is less than what I'm feeling,
I'd like to seal this deal in advance,
but the thing is,
that's not the thought of my brain,
it's the write of my hand,
or rather the slight of my hand,
it was unintended to fall this hard.
Landed on a soft part,
a warm place for a strange fella,
what's stranger is the danger in this cellar -
of love,
please would you free me Ms Jailer ?
So that i get to die another day,
don't punch me in the golden eye,
I still want to see your face,
horniness, politely preying for change,
a few shillings in an umbrella,
cause it's raining,
the times doing their thing,
the big clock on the wall is my heart racing,
but believe that,
you're the one pacemaking.

First girl to get me on a power trip,
was the one sitting right in front of me when i was a kid,
the one with flowered dresses,
with whom i would share colours to cause messes,
in art lessons,
pretty messages were all i ever wrote,
tapping your deskmate's shoulder like "pass the note",
Closest friends is what everybody saw, what the teacher thought,
even old photos say that,
B to the F to the F flat.
But what's strange, is when love joined the game
everything changed,
rearranged, feelings became.
Heart in the right place,
brain in the wrong frame,
either it was time,
or you didn't feel the same way.
This flower never bloomed,
the room wasn't for 2,
so now we stay apart like strings on a guitar,
table for two but with one,
like grown ups I reserved all the fun,
no more issues,
to be addressed by tissues,
I'll live it up,
with or without you.

That simple smile was our happy beginning,
I confused you for someone else,
at the time i couldn't tell the difference,
that you were one in a million,
beautiful was the feeling,
sparks and then we lit up like a christmas eve ceiling,
nowadays your name is the only thing that,
remains on my lips,
it's just insane,
your like my first written rap,
that unrehearsed freeverse,
with my boys in class,
you were the first exam i ever passed,
ace of hearts, yeah you know who plays the part,
Showed me how to love,
lil wayne couldn't make this art !

we're the babies of this time but we die without being born,
a time of green grass because of many storms,
the present's not a blessing,
instead of living we're just regressing,
pure will isn't present,
nothingnessessence,
but i want to be the opposite deposited,
not remembered for some riches,
more for the fact that i hanged with pretty bitches.

I'm just a flower in the field,
dying of thirst, because my roots are concealed,
these shallow waters could never penetrate to my borders,
so my petals may never spring,
then again, I am nowhere near the river or the source.
Avid listener of X fm,
keep getting texts from my X at ten,
Don't wake me up is all I want to scream and shout,
but this is a rock station,
sorry brother, that song is out.
Well no worries, no problem,
I see hope in the future,
juu mimi ni mtu wa M-kesho,
sitawahi sumbuka na maparasha na maperesho,
huwezi niwekea mtego,
I'm cruising at a very high level,
but I'm still economy, with no seat,
I'm unsettled.
But that can be arranged to change,
I can stack the decks up,
and knock them down with one play,
jack of all trades?
I'm more like the only joker in an end game.

They were tired of being second class humans.
“Today we pay Ma’ and Dad back for their bullshit!” Meeko said to his three younger siblings.
They laced the food with sleeping powder while cooking that evening. Night would be perfect to bring their inner animals out.
Uncle Nanib showed up uninvited though.
Seeing two heads asleep in their bowls, he chuckled, “We need to stage this.”
The boys rained on their Dad with belts and hid Ma’s valuables to sell.
They awoke around noon to find the house messy and Nanib bloodied.
“Thieves…” Nanib muttered,”…last night…took the boys too..”

Dawn’s distant red rays can’t crack the windows to warm the blood as far off rumbles of commuters’ engines deplete a young soul’s energy.
His phone’s silence is a reminder of another failed connection. Nadi’s left eye condenses into sorrow as a tear bleeds onto the fractured screen.
He switches it on just in time for the alarm to give one cry; draining the battery. That flashing light casts a rainbow that’ll keep him selling his time, body and patience in search of his pot of gold.
Leaving the suburbs called Home, he feels a certain disdain –
“Why wasn’t I born an eagle?!”

To all my fans...
I love tha support, it gives ma poetry rapport,
Ma words out thought, music is all I was taught,
Tied up in a knot, with so much to communicate,
2 little or 2 late, think uu can blame fate...
I'll move quick as I can, to give that checkmate,
Man...
-date, is all I need wazi??
Boiy niko kazi, sportin SWAG from flow to my mavazi..

All I need is 4 uu to feel something, no bluffing,
cause I am huffin, n I am puffin..
I give in..
depth, life to my verses,
An emcee, dozens of statuses, declaring a lyrical concussion...
sick in tha head, people sleepin, I made the bed..
Hard work#
That's the story, me n uu, no ngori!!..
Gimme a few,, 2 have fully explored G,

fuck flowers!
I'll be their shit when I'm dead,
after i've drained every last drop of passion,
I don't burn this fuel just to get ahead.
It's fucking twisted to hold people back,
then soon as they're dead? Jump on a band wagon,
"So sorry we miss them," fucking dickriding phoneys,
It's sick, Mother Earth's been crying,
She gave out pearls,
we became swine.
Maybe it'd be better knowing your last day,
Buy yourself flowers, before you decay,
Guess who'll never give a fuck?
fate !
All the time that exists doesn't mean a thing.
Greatest gift is choice,
know what I mean?
