You know, I know, we know So you say, That if I can't love you now You dont want me loving you later When your later is much greater... It only proves that I love the paper! more Paper! So what am I to do when the paper love is so strong Sit around and wait for you to get your own I got to eat now, you know Paper love is too strong it got all of us on the street looking We are all chasing it so what is wrong with my way? I dont steal, I dont kill, I dont step on anyone I just smile.... and smile well Loving you is the definition of love is blind And you know the world today is blind to two things love and paper! Somehow we blindly flow into paper loving You say, If I love you later It only proves that I love the paper But dont we all love this blander You call me a gold-digger call yourself a hustler Haha! Player please! We are in the same game Only a different league and I am the best striker in my team Money chasing! Money loving! Money getting The diff

You ask me why I choose to look how I look Then bring me shame at my own game Making me believe that I was cursed and glad to the thought that you drive me insane Terrifying and shaking my picture out of its frame You are so lame! Don’t you have any shame? Really who else is to blame? When words sharper than swords disconnect my link of hope But yes! The walls have fallen And this is solemn Yeah for the red heads Let us pretend that I really cared what you think or say About what I do, how I do it and what I don’t That really I didn’t give you an itch each time I was present What if I was just like you? Would the sun feel better on my face? Or would the wind feel better on my skins surface? It is really funny how you are keen to lace, underneath Invade my space and stick to my case Isn’t there anything else in the world to chase? What is she wearing? Where is she from? Are those bones sticking out? Skinny bitch she doesn’t eat right! Look at how she walks! You

I just have to say this, you have been the confusion of my life the great turn around, the solidification of my dreams the liquidification of my weaknesses the nullification of my fears the quantification of my hope Yes, you are the reason behind the modification of myself and forever I will live to remember you Dear November with tears in my eyes you have given me wings and let me touch the stars you have cut my legs dropped me down to taste the dust you have made me cry on stage, in a matatu, cyber, street, classroom you have made me laugh till I cried you have painted all kind of colors in my life what do I say you have brought me friends, made me see what we call love and support you have brought me shame, made me turn and grind my teeth yes, you have made me stronger and weaker and forever I will remember Dear November I had to write this down That when Adam wrote that one day my dreams will touch the sky I cried That when Eve told me am lazy I cried too

Tell you what I am gonna do Like an eagle soaring high I am gonna spread my wings and fly Let the doubts inspire me Let my dreams elevate me My work give me be the sign of a victory ahead Grab it and rule the sky And every beat of the heart… turn to the tune and rhythm to achieve this greatness No turning back! Never to see my prints again Carry my history with me, have a story to tell At the end of the day, at the bonfire A story of once upon a time I was… But now, I unify my spirit, soul, heart, mind and body See all of me achieve whatever I was created to achieve Yes, be a realist, it is still a cursed world In this world full of sham and drudgery Tricks, competitions and disappointments But I will not let them break me down © Namatsi Lukoye

Nimeona niwache kucheza na moto Nitaangamia bure kwa joto Kuinama mvunguni nikitamani chako Nikujuchosha bure tako Nimeona ni heri niinuke nigeuke nishike njia kutafuta change Na basi kama siku hazigandi Basi heri ni lie leo badala ya kesho kwani kesho Langu laja Chakuajabisha ni kwamba Wataka kunivuta kwa kamba Wajiona simba waniona mwiba Nguvu zangu wazipima hujui nadunga! Wataka niishi kama mmbwa! Nikufuate huku na kule! Sitaweza! Nimechoka! Ndio maana nasema heri nilie leo badala ya kesho Kwani kesho langu laja Hujatambua dunia ni duara Aliyejuu mac Munga hushuka na aliye chini kapanda Leo kwangu kesho kwako ushaskia hayo Basi wacha niviringwe kwa shida Machozi ya dondoke! Tsekha bhulamu bhwange Sema mchana usiku kwa giza choma Maliza risasi kwa bunduki! Fyatua! Fyatua! Kesho langu laja! Kesho nitang’aa utahitaji madigaga kuniangalia © Namatsi Lukoye
