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

LOCTA

His fragile heart lays broken by the jagged teeth of life

He never saw it coming, never fathomed the possibility

It was like the boredom of purgatorial souls

forever languishing in the miasma of regret

But was it his fault to have loved and lost?

It was better than to have never loved at all.

The acid tears run down his flustered cheeks

as the gargantuan headaches pound away unforgivingly

The dusty dungeons of loneliness beckon to him

He feels no objection as he edges towards the black light

It was an Armageddon of the heart

And the chubby angelic cupid seems to be dead

But then the spirit rises like a phoenix

From the fiery aftermath of its consumption

Confidence bursting like sore wounds

that are popping from the ripeness of recovery

The cruel world is his playground

And he will rule it like an 8^th grade bully.

Not taking any prisoners on his forward march

towards supremacy of the heart and soul

Because he has learnt to trust no one

But his unwavering, irreplaceable and devoted self

A NAKED MIND

Stripped and hosed down

My thoughts are blank, like a blind man trying to see

My mind is in a constant state of need

A need to be free of all that makes me think

I want to be naked, yes, I said naked

But not in the sense of the physical, but the mental

Like sweet poetry recited on a heavenly instrumental

A naked mind, lost in ancient time

Blessed by the words of the divine

I was born free,

But the roots no longer compliment the tree

I leave my wicked ways in search of purity

And a kingdom of tranquillity

So as naked as I came, as naked I will go

Drop knowledge that leaves the world unbalanced

And portray me as unequalled among those that seek

the same mental freedom
