Wajinga Aje

Goti nlipiga kwa mwenye enzi 

Nkashukuru kwa hizi tenzi 

Na me si mwalimu wa vitenzi 

Ila kwake alininogesha na penzi 

Ningekua nimevalia suti basi ningeanza na official openings 

Ata wino ikiisha bado ntaandika tu na mate

Na si ni wajinga aje 

King Kaka alishaspill the truth na #wajingaNyinyi 

Still tunangoja manna from heaven 

Wakati tuko na farms unattended 

Na criminals un apprehended 

Ndo maana Poet Teardrops alimake it clear we don’t trust handshakes 

Tuko desperate aje kuona wakituita marally 

Si ni wajinga aje ju it’s the same old politics tutaskia 

But still what matters ni ile dishi tutamanga after paying attention 

Ya our groaning stomachs being fed by empty promises 

Ata Prince of peace alikam na tukamsulubisha

Maasai bado mifugo watalisha

Na hongo bado wataitisha

Na maneno yangu yataisha 

Pay Attention

All these rappers they’re hurtin’

But y’all interested when they hatin’

Witt Lowry got a beef on Eminem 

That’s when you listen thinking it’s all for fame 

Lemme clean my heart hang it on the line 

Fake friendships  toxic voices in my head I’m not fine 

You make coupla dollars start balling 

You buy new wheel you start rolling 

Push away yo homies 

Not caring to make enemies 

You gotta tear that wall down 

Or you gonna be the same old story in town 

Yeah yeah these rappers be warning 

But y’all pay attention when the fame is growing 

They say rap makes no sense 

Yet it’s poetry I guess 

Now listen

It’s hard to convince the poor that money can’t buy happiness 

After all it’s everything that everybody is looking for fullness 

It’s hard to know what you feeling if I can’t fit in your shoe 

No I can’t put on yours I got mine too 

We all characters of the same book 

Just in different pages maybe on hook

You never know who makes it to the end first 

Appreciate your present give it your best if it’s must 

Y’all busy trying to make for a better tomorrow 

Tomorrow is never here forego your sorrow 

When you gonna live this life 

Slow down and enjoy life

Run while you still can 

Play while it’s still fun 

But remember you live fast

You die young

Pray First

There people heading to work
Some people woke up hurting
Some with hangover
Some are still wondering what they will do with there day
There people right now that are depressed
Some people out there just feel empty inside
And still here some who have it all yet there is a void
Yet what amazes me most is the fact that 24/7
There people right now praying for these people;anyone anywhere

The Right Choice

Worthless,good for nothing,unwanted,unforgivable...
You may have heard this being said before or
At some point someone made you feel so
It made you feel small and vulnerable
It does not matter whether you're an Atheist or a Buddhist
A pessimist or an optimist life doesn't come with a manual
It's a matter of knowing what your calling is in this life

I am sure enough i wasn't born to just live and die
I believe everyone has a purpose worth living for
I have been in a situation where i didn't know what i was believing in
Until i realised i was given a choice
A choice!A choice to what?

I believe in a higher calling than myself
I believe in something more powerful than anything else
I believe n someone mightier
I believe in the power of salvation

You see how people make you feel or treat you quiet  matters
But what matters most is what God the father says who you are
When He sent Jesus to come and die for me he was saying
"Manuel you are worth dying for,you're worth my forgiveness,
You are worth to be saved and so here i give you grace
I give you a choice and that is Jesus Christ."

He didn't have to literally say i love you
I guess His deeds are worth beyond that
Sometimes i don't give Him my all
But He is still with me Heart and Soul
Its the kind of love we all seek

I chose to follow His footsteps
I made the cross to my choice
I pray this Easter you make the right choice
I hope you realise the power of the cross

A letter from a beloved son;child of God
Its who i am.

Grandpa Said

"Once upon a time,"grandpa said
"Son always be a nice human,
Though sometimes life gets bitter,
You can make it better,
And maybe when this comes I'll be long gone,
But never ever reciprocate evil."
Grandpa your voice still echoes in my head
I miss your wisdom your company I miss the most
Could life be more bitter than losing you!
I'm so proud to be your grandchild
And so I say to my grandies
          "This is life
           You gonna get
           What you give."
For sure when their time comes
They will all tell stories saying,
"Once upon a time grandpa said...."

Three Things To Consider...

Love : We all know its a strong feeling...
And beyond that its really a personal thing.
What the feeling does to everyone is totally different.
The feeling may make you a stronger or weaker person.

Relationship: Is when two lovers agree to mutually be together
Because the feeling made there heart to beat to the same rhythm.

Love in a relationship: Is when both partners know how dark and ugly the other's soul is and yet still finds it perfectly beautiful.
Its when you decide to stand up for each other through thick and thin cause darling its you two against all odds.
Still its when you get to hear all those romours concerning your partner and yet when you look at him/her you still get goosebumps.
I'm not a loveguru but I hope relationships gonna get stronger
And lovers bolder.
I'm just another love spreader.

Last letter

Niaje wasee
Ama nafaa kuanza na ladies and gentlemen
Ndo at least intro ikue imeweza
Lakini life haikunipea manual
On how I'll go about it
So I'll just do it my way
Tryna put my words right
Ndo ata ka nikileft still stakua wrong
Na sipendi kukua the center of attention
But soon
Attention will be the center of the whole me
For just a while not far from a mile
For long I've been yelling and screaming
Shouting and crying out
But all fell into ignorant ears and mean shoulders
And I hope when you see my last letter
Guilt won't consume your darkened soul
And if you thought I was playing
Then for sure its a foul play
I'm not pointing a finger to anyone yet
What else could I offer the society
Apart from words from a fragmented mind
And letters from a fractured heart
I hope they meet a soul to lighten
A life to save and a wound to heal
And a home to dwell in
Nothing lasts forever so I hope
When my voice plays through the speakers
A child to be inspired
The hopeless to be hopeful
And the blessed to be grateful
Ni time I bid farewell
I'm grateful for the love fans
The finger I'll point it to me
I listened more of the voice within
Paid more attention to my pen and paper
Na a time has come
When my body will be in a casket
I will be the center of attention
As you gather around my body
Black will be the outfit
But let my ink portray the light in you
The true colour you meant to be
But others will have hard time to believe
And those who thought they cared
Maybe they never cared enough
Those who couldn't afford to pay attention
Double your hustle maybe
Those who will feel sorry I pity you
Feel sorry for yourselves for I've accomplished my goal
Peace and love
Ladies and gentlemen
