UNTITLED

Fast life,fun filled fests with friends ending in drinking frenzies
and drunken forgetfulness
Life couldn't get any better,pleasure intense
Ladies sweet smelling, scents stronger than church incense
Intense influence on my sense of shillings and cents
Always trying to stack up that cheddar
making my presence felt
make them know I aint no beggar coz
"I can make it rain", weather man
Love? No, lust! Leading to locking lips and looking
at her licking the lusciously afterwards
After hours meetings lead to meetings under the covers
Hours turn to days and today I check the date
suddenly realizing we've never even been on a first date
But wait, that would be a total waste of time and money
It would be unacceptable just like that extra weight
to a woman's waist line
I would rather carry on with my dismal display of affection
not caring  about the disappointment that is left
in my trail of destruction because all I'm seeking
is just a temporary distraction
but i want to label this as attraction when we both know
we are using each other for our own satisfaction
See, this is the kind of life I used to live
It was all about pleasing me
not really caring where it would lead
But deep down I wished I could leave
because all it did was make my heart bleed
Bleed to emptiness because nothing I tried  could fill the void
and even as much as I tried to avoid those things
I used to do I still felt paranoid
Still seeking the mortal satisfaction of the flesh  while
claiming to be serving the LORD
Let me make the picture more clearer
Let me take you on this journey as we dig deeper
See the church is on fire,and I don't mean the kind of fire
that leads to signs and wonders
Am talking about the fire that comes as a result of mistakes and blunders
You know, the kind that threatens to consume us
like consumers in a frenzied rush on a Christmas day shopping spree at Woolworths
We have let the devil in and we're literally breaking bread with the enemy
See, the media has shown us a blurry image of what love should be
and unfortunately that image has crept into the sanctuary
In a world where love is spelt L.U.S.T
a young generation is being coerced to
embrace a misleading philosophy
A philosophy that tries to justify that sex sells, while promoting hypocrisy
Tell me, what does reading the weekend daily have to do with a sexually provocative lady
strutting across the T.V?
I use the word "lady" loosely coz if I was a lady I wouldn't let them abuse me
See, Christ tells us anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery
Yet we do this very thing and try to cover for it by saying we appreciating beauty
The media's got us thinking that Trust equals love bila regrets but trust me they won't send you
a father's day card when that rubber bursts
So I submit to you that only trust in God will
guarantee you love that will save you from hell
and lead you straight to heaven  where
you will live forever and that's life bila regret
And to my sistas, let's have a little chat
Let me reason with you and see where your heads are at
Is it right to eat food that causes another man to stumble and fall flat?
In the same way is it right to dress to kill yet you cause  a brother to lust?
Coz what you're doing is slowly killing his spirit man, causing him
to want to live in his past
And I know its all in the spirit of keeping in touch with what's en vogue
but be careful not to be the reason that a brother gets stuck
in the bog and quicksand of a not so moral mental scene
which leaves him with visions that lead him to sin against his maker's name
His temple to profane.
So I'd like to conclude 
I want to ask you a question which you might pretend to elude
Ask yourself this,are you a born-again christian or a porn again christian?

DYING TO LIVE

Before my pen dries up
Before my fingers go numb
Before I go dumb or
fade away from the face of the earth
Before my heart grows cold with lack of
remorse for what must ultimately take place
Before my mind begins to fathom the pain and
anguish to be suffered by a generation that has
turned its back to God
I pray you hear me out
Don't be like the pharisees who
desired to be like gods among men,
above reproach from authority but still
hiding behind the very law they flouted
while oppressing the minority
They chose to block out the voice of reason
and instead made  a resolve to commit treason
against the King himself
And for a moment they appeared to have succeeded
but appearances can be deceiving
Its like Iddi Amin conquering the British Empire
So before the world freezes over,I would like to
let you know about the object of my desire
I love Him more than ladies love a shopping spree
So now you can call me Kirk Franklin
coz am counted among God's property
This is an open invite to get to know Him
and He'll conduct a heart transplant
and wash you white a snow in an instant
and best part is He won't use no Sunlight
coz the son's light shines brighter than bling
for all men to see
I call you to seek this intimacy
with Him who knew no sin
but for your sake endured an obscene
amount of beating so that He could give
us right standing with the Father rather than
be left to condemnation
He had to become deceased so that
we may no longer be diseased
See right now my heart is pregnant
with expectation of Him coming down
in all His glory
But all this world offers is artificially inseminated
dreams of living large,fast cars and loose girls
who flash like photography
Well truth be told I wouldn't mind driving around
in a silver Nissan Skyline
but I'd rather look up to the skyline
and see Christ coming down on a silver cloud,
the Lion and the Lamb, He's got the best of both worlds
And when He comes my bags will be packed
like  groceries at Nakumatt
But believe me I won't have excess baggage
coz sin won't have power to do any more damage
Right now I'm an alien on earth like Ben 10
but He'll come to snatch us out just like He did Daniel
in the lion's den
A life well live is what is expected of me
and I will be judged on what i believe
so I don't want to stand before the holy God thinking
brotherly love is a marriage between Adam and Steve
My soul cries out for Heaven,the home of my rebirth
coz I feel like i"m being shortchanged living on earth
with all its deception knowing the kind of redemption
that Heaven offers.
Yet, living on earth gives us hope for salvation
knowing that we are still under Mercy and Grace
before God lights up hell's fiery furnace
What a disgrace many men will face
knowing at some point in their life
they could have lessened their pace
and accepted Christ's warm embrace
So take heed to these words
and realize how much you are worth
coz I will only say this once
Before I lose my voice
and before heaven and hell are no longer a choice
Before the words I speak become but mere noise
to the ears and hearts of wicked men
Choose your side wisely and  stand with the knowledge
that you didn't live your life in vain

MISFIT

I drop these lines like a bad habit

Am like a giant among dwarfs, they call me a bad hobbit

I got tired of trying to fit in to a specific crowd

so now I just try to float around like a lone cloud

and I can hear the heavenly rhymes of angels

blessed by the WORD of the divine

By now you've figured out that I'm just a dreamer

but take some time to know me and find out I'm 

just a schemer.

A tinker of sorts playing around with my tools

trying to get some knowledge into these fools

You see I've never been one to subscribe to the norm

I'm not so big on trying to conform 

to the rules and regulations that seem,

from my view, to be our biggest misconception

of the ideas and intentions

that were meant from the inception of man

Don't judge me by my akala sandals

don't let my gunia bag be fuel for your scandals

and most of all do not put my life to a gamble 

just  to satisfy your own amusement

Spare me the mental harassment

of having to fit into your measurement

of what kind of life I should be living

in order to enjoy your definition of fulfillment 

We are willing to go a thousand miles 

just to discredit other people's smiles

when they don't live according to our style

and make them feel they aren't worth a minute 

of our time

We sit on our high horses 

and conspire to join forces

against those who only seek their own 

measure of happiness in equal doses,

the same as we poses.

My God, I'm not perfect but everyday I try

to live according to Your will. 

But all I end up doing is cry

Father help me, lift me up till I can touch the sky

Pick me up, dust me off and wipe 

my cheeks till they are dry

Teach me how to do things your Son did pure

Teach me the pain and persecution to endure

I proclaim the perfection that is Christ's name

I do this for His glory alone,this is not a game

This is Kingdom business, I don't do this for the fame

and I know that I am not perfect,

 for this I'm not to blame

but yet for my sake my Lord died for me

so His name I will not profane

NO APOLOGIES

Am sorry for bothering you but I wanna talk to you about Jesus

Pardon me for taking up your time; I just wanted to tell you that He can save you

I just wanted to let you know that He is God’s son…forget Nas

My apologies for disturbing you but I need you to know that He saved me and now am more than happy to follow Him, no twitter

Am sorry but I wanted to tell you that He can rid you of your sins, leave you whiter than P Diddy’s white parties

Am sorry to be the one to tell you this but He died so that you can be forgiven

He was forsaken by His father in order for you to be accepted

He was looked down upon by evil men so that the Father can look upon you again

You see the Father is so holy that His eyes cannot look upon sin and our Lord taking on your sins and mine caused the Father to turn His gaze away from our Lord in order for you and me to be saved

So once again am sorry to bother you but I just wanted to tell you about the King of kings, the Rock of all ages, the Perfect one baby

Am sorry!?...NO AM NOT!!!

Am not sorry to tell you about what Christ did for you while you live out your days in ignorance

I will not apologize for the duty that has been clearly commissioned to me

I will not cower from sharing His word because I am afraid it might offend you,

Or it’s not in line with your world philosophies and doctrines that have been conjured up by Godless men to justify their actions and help them sleep at night

I will not apologize for telling you that if you don’t repent you will be thrown to the flames

I will not be silent about it…no!

In fact, I will shout my head off about it

My Lord has given me a voice, a voice among men

In the words of Rhema Soul: “My Savior gives me a new day and in fact a new life,

now I can never lay low, I have to ignite”

And I pray that I will ignite a fire in you that will lead you to fight for Christ

Because He died lovingly for us it’s time we lived dangerously for Him

I strive to live my life to please my God but if I stumble and fall I will not apologize

Instead I will get back on my feet, dust myself off and seek my Father’s forgiveness

I pray that my Lord will use me and cause me to be a good example because I live my life for one but before many

So I will not stop trying to get you to listen to the word that will help you live forever and advance God’s kingdom

For these actions I offer NO APOLOGIES!

TAFAKARI YA NDUGU

Piga raundi mwenda mtaani
Niambie unacheki mambo gani
Ndoto za kujali halimashauri
ziliishia kwenye chupa ya beer pale Shauri
Moyo
Kijana amelewa hata atalala wapi
mtoi wake amekasirika juu amevunja ahadi
alimshow ati ataquit alcohol
strategy yake tu ni venye atadodge alcoblow
Matha na yeye anadai anaenda meeting ya chama
kumbe ameenda kumeet na clande yake mchana
Generation yetu inadai hakuna works
lakini strategy ni mob za ku-make hizi bucks
watu wanaogopa kuget their hands dirty
but wanataka kukuwa millionaires before wafike thirty
Chali anajaribu kuingiza mtoi wa chuo box
bila kufikiria soon anaweza simama in the docks
akijitetea story ya child molestation
yeye anafikiria tu juu ya Sexual satisfaction
Hizi injustices ni mob siwezi hata zimaliza
intervention tunaneed ni greater hata kuliko miujiza
Wasee flani wanajiongeza mshahara bila aibu
ati juu wanakaa na wanalala kila siku
Ndio hao utawacheki K-street usiku
na wakiulizwa maswali parliament hawaezi jibu
Nakupa moja kati ya mbili ya shida zangu
lakini shida zangu ni mob bado nalilia babangu
juu after hizi vitu zote nimeona na nimehisi
ni yeye ananipea reason yangu ya kuishi
Siwezi forsake bro yangu akiwa kwa njaa na shida
lazima nimek sure poa yeye ameshiba
Najua nimebonga machungu mob nikisisitiza
but baada ya hio yote nataka tu kusema asanteni kuniskiza

CONVICTION

When I step up on the stage,they say they cant stand me
But when I'll be making my bread they wont stand me...up
Right now they say they cant feel me like leprosy
but look out for young homy coz I'm making lines that make you drowsy
with knowledge from the forefathers
Rather than act like a big bother
I give you a piece of my heart and ask you
that you listen to my words first
Just like anyone else, I need love
but not the kind that's offered with the glove
and the imminent mind trauma that seems to be lurking above
I crave the approval of the crowds,
A standing ovation that takes me to the clouds
and leaves me basking in the glory of the chants
and gives me hope for a second chance
on the stage with hopes for nine lives
like the proverbial cat that curiosity maims
And just like the cat was let out of the bag
I wish for satisfaction, which by the way brought the dead cat back
I want to write tongue twisters
that leave your mouth with blisters
words that leave you feeling like you were licking splinters
I want to write songs that feel so right
yet sound so wrong
I want to serenade you with symphonies,
music so good you can make your own melody
and help uplift you from your own melancholy
But everytime I seem to want to do this
someone seems to tamper with my peace
rendering my mind indecisive
So take your chains and lock me away
I said take your chains and lock me away
take your chains and lead me...astray
coz once I stand my ground you'll never see me sway
Just like a giant ebony,I'll withstand all of the
agony that's thrown at me
The pain will make me bolder
coz what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger

THE MESSAGE

I see the cause of this mental pollution

But I can’t place a finger on its solution

When kids are constantly begging for direction

That will lead them out of their affliction

So much has been said about religion

But it has only served to bring about division

You see we constantly ague about a messenger

And we forget to listen to the message

Me, I chose to follow the one born and placed in a manger

In order to avoid a future and imminent danger, of hell

For I have an assurance from the Father

Who tells me he will take me further

Beyond my wildest dreams and imaginations,

Rather than forsake me he surrounds me with love

And gives me someone to call my brother

I have a blessed assurance

That can’t be matched even by Madison Insurance

An assurance so great that blood had to be shed

My burden of sin so great that a price had to be paid

You may choose to pelt me with stones

Or clobber me till you see my bones

But I must say to you, do your worst

But before you do, listen to the message first

I call him Jehovah, you call him Allah

And all we aim to do is turn haters into lovers

So I ask you this, who do you believe in?

Answer me that coz at the moment am grieving

Because of the reflections in the mirror

Which tell me that the end is getting nearer
