Since the first day we met and locked eyes;

I knew you were going to change my life;

Beauty like yours I still have to find;

Such perfection I’ve never seen and it blew my mind;

 

You stole away the morning star’s shine;

I couldn’n’t believe you were mine;

You were so out of my league;

But yet you fell for me;

 

What do you do when you aren’t ready for God’s blessing;

He answered my prayers when He sent you, an answer I wasn’t expecting;

I was so used to waiting;

I thought God stopped listening;

 

When we started dating I was expecting another dissapointment;

I prepared myself for another heart break;

That’s why I never gave you my heart right away;

I was on the defensive just in case;

 

No matter how you tried, you couldn’t get me to fall in love the same;

Plus I was still damaged and a prisoner of my yesterdays;

I didn’t want to tell you in fear of you walking away;

I couldn’t rise from one more heart break;

 

I tried to make it work but my heart was in another place;

Instead of love I hurt you and left tear stains on your face;

Crying to God, pleading for Him to help me change;

You couldn’t understand why I was doing you that way;

 

I wasn’t sure myself, I was broken with and just trying to subside the pain;

Slowly our love started to fade;

You held on out of sympathy and through the hurt stayed;

You knew about my past and you didn’t want to do me the same;

 

Until it got too much and you walked away;

I admit you took my heart with you that cold march day;

I tried to get you back but I managed to push you further away;

It’s been years since and I’ve never heart another girl again;

 

Didn’t want to miss another angel like you just in case she came my way;

God heard your cries for me to change;

I’ve become who you wanted me to be back in the day;

Change came even if It came too late;

 

Jesus, He loves me more than He should;

He looks past all the bad things that I do;

As I look upon His face;

All I can see is mercy accompanied by grace;

 

A love that never seems to fade;

That washes all my guilt away;

Goodness that surpass all understanding;

And relentless faithfulness everlasting;

 

He has never failed me once;

Even when I fail Him, He always welcomes me back like the prodical son;

He blesses me as though it’s a must;

He has made me fall in love with Him because of all His unconditional love;

 

Even before I know that I’m in trouble, He sends help from up above;

There’s something about His name;

Like the sweet fragrance after the rain;

So I send praises on high;

 

Just to see Him smile;

Because before I ever called Him Father, He called me child.

Ebony eyes I can’t lie about this;

Every year this time you’re the first wish on my christmas wish list;

Miss Simplyxclusiv, you’re still the one I seem to miss;

I try play it off but it’s kind of obvious;

 

I bet you didn’t know I still feel for you Miss ebony eyes;

How could you if my hearts wearing a constant disguise;

Two souls that were once one are now just a memory lost in time;

I would have told you how I feel inside;

 

But you burned my soul and now I’m halted by pride;

Now I ain’t saying we should love again;

I’m just saying I miss my best friend;

I just miss spoiling you from time to time;

 

To see that gorgeous smile and give you peace from your past for a little while;

See it was never about me even since that first time;

But in the same breath I couldn’t stop my heart for falling for your ebony eyes;

I’ve been hurt that way before so here is the truth;

 

Real recognises real and I saw that scarred look when I first layed eyes on you;

Maybe now that I’m taking time to explain you’ll understand what I mean;

Why when you treated me cold I still elevated you like a queen;

Loving you was about healing your heart and not about me;

 

Sex was never my first priority;

I was trying to fill the void that was left by him;

Things you didn’t see;

But that’s the truth Miss Simplyxclusiv;

I know I didn’t lay it down like them other dudes you rolled with before me;

My aim was to give you the kind of love your heart was needing but had never seen;

I tried to treat you like a queen;

But it backfired and bruised me within;

 

Miss ebony eyes, Miss Simplyxclusiv;

Hope you think back and smile when you read this;

Cause when I’m out and I get high;

That’s when I really miss those ebony eyes

When one legend dies;
Another star is on the rise;
Cause true legends never die;
They only multiply;

Madiba and 2pac were fallen stars;
And I’m a morning star on the rise;
I’m not claiming to be them, no, they were living Kings;
I’m only claiming to be me;

A mortal man with a possibility;
I’m here to change the world’s twisted views and flip the game with epic verses;
With poetry never heard;
Real poets are born and don’t need to try;

I write poems in 10 minutes without effort, it’s just a part of my everyday life;
Like breathing and blinking my eyes;
I don’t do this for money or fame, but to impact the world before my demise;
I speak the truth with every line;

If you like it or not I’m only fooling myself if I lie;
If I live to impress people how will I explain this to God when I die;
And I meet Him in Heaven’s frontline?;
I’m only using the gift He game gave me before I was even alive;

And exited my mother’s womb with tears in my eyes;
You can’t buy respect, it’s earned;
You can’t study wisdom, with struggles it’s learnt;
I had bridges, but it’s my choices they up in smoke and burnt;

I lost too many years focused on the past;
Chasing loving cause I never got enough love from my dad;
Hoping if I chase it, love would last;
But it didn’t matter, that shit ended way too fast;

I’m not a legend yet, but at least I’m trying to change this shit;
The world’s ways, I’m sick of it;
So all I can say before I die is I tried;
Cause when you see one star fall out the sky, just keep in mind another one is on the rise

Warrior of freedom;

Angel wings hidden and remain unseen;

Born to set a bound nation free;

Who fought endless struggles just for you and me;

 

The epitimy of strength, love and humility;

Who’s eyes never saw race, colour or creed;

Who went to jail when he wasn’t even guilty;

Who would do that for another human bieng?;

 

I’ve been in jail and that ain’t the life for me;

I could never accomplish what he effortlessly achieved;

He endured struggles I’ve only seen in my worst dreams;

He showed us all what real unity is;

 

Nelson Mandela, thank you for freedom’s gift;

Finally you have found peace;

Even though it’s you, we as a nation will forever miss;

It’s the peace you fought for, earned and you deserve it;

 

So think of us as you enter Heaven;

And God welcomes you with these words “Well done my good and faithful servant”

I have you on my mind;

Can’t shake this feeling no matter how hard I try;

Even if my mind reminds my heart about all the tears you once made me cry;

It doesn’t change this love I still feel deep inside;

 

Yet I know the differerence between wrong and right;

I just can’t stop myself from missing you late at night;

And when I wake, that old lonesome feeling catches me off guard and takes my heart by surprise;

I force myself to forget, but my stubborn heart just misses you even more each time;

 

When I close my eyes then you flood my mind;

And if  by chance I forget and have a little peace;

Our song comes on the radio and I start missing what used to be;

Tell me will this feeling ever leave?

 

Or like Asthma is it an uncureable condition that without warning makes it hard to breath?

If I knew I’d miss you so much girl, I’d have begged you to stay;

But I didn’t so I let you slip away;

It’s a memory that’s become a regret that never goes away;

 

Playing like a broken record, a song I can’t change;

So after all the love I’d had since us, I’ve found that without you love just ain’t the same

Tell me can we be more than friends again?;

I was wondering If I could get a chance to love you again;

Do you think about how good we were back then?;

When love was forever young and it seemed like it would never end;

 

Days in the park, just us;

Drinking and making love;

Not a care in the world;

It was just you and I girl;

 

Over the years love has changed;

From a fairytale story to an unfair game;

I had to adjust and study the rules in order to play;

But I miss that oldschool kind of love of yesterday;

 

So can’t we go back to those days?;

I’m sick of this game;

You lose everytime no matter how you play;

Heart break has become like a virus outbreak;

 

Tears have become a part of the human face;

Tears that never dry no matter how much you wipe them away;

I admit I was young and made silly mistakes;

But life has matured me, so could you come back this way;

 

“Let go of past love, it’s just a mistake”, I’ve heard people say;

But if that’s the case then your love was the best mistake I’ve ever made;

Girl I miss us;

But most of all I miss that oldschool kind of love…

I’m just a dreamer trying to change the world one heart at a time;

Let that act as a domino effect changing what I can before my demise;

I want to educate youth about life;

That’s what they need when school comes to an end;

 

I wish they would have lessons on life in school, but they have gym instead;

Surviving life is the most important lesson;

But we lead our youth blindly and when they fall we look at them with questions;

The change starts young, for me it’s too late;

 

So I want the next generation to live the right way;

We need to stop pointing fingers when we are to blame;

They are too young to know about life’s abuse;

So it’s up to me and you;

 

I want the elderly to give classes on wisdom to our youth;

So they are well equipped to face life’s hidden traps;

I wish people could see my point of view instead of just sitting back;

I wish rich people could swap lives with poor people and swap back every week;

 

So we can understand another man’s struggle and not turn away the man begging on the corner of the street;

I wish a damaged heart;

That’s been broken and scared by the past;

Can be given to young girls so they understand the consequences of love and don’t have to ask;

 

Then swap back their hearts so they understand the damage caused by a one night stand;

So they aren’t curious but feel and understand;

I wish I could give my memories to all the young boys who think cheating is cool;

So they feel how it feels when the same is done to you;

 

I want them to understand the results of Karma;

So they think twice before enduring the drama;

I want the youth to understand;

When you mess up in life, there’s no second chance;

 

By your choices you fall or stand;

Having a beard, money and a car doesn’t make you a real man;

Making babies doesn’t make you a dad;

I want to give them responsibility so they don’t fall into debt;

 

So they understand the pressure and never forget;

Before I die this is what I want to see;

But I’m just a dreamer, but I’ll do my best before the Lord calls me;

So in Heaven I can rest in peace, knowing I left behind not just a memory, but a legacy

It’s been over a year since last I saw you;

I pretend I don’t miss you but girl I do;

When by chance we meet in passing I act like I don’t notice you and play it cool;

When inside I hope you’ll greet;

 

I try and act strong when my knees are weak;

And I stumble over my own feet;

I wonder if you really don’t care or like me you’re just pretending;

When you see me by chance does your heart also skip a beat;

 

Or have I faded like a bad memory;

Do my actions fool you?;

Or can you see right through;

Is my mask coming apart at the seams?;

 

Or can you see the broken heart I wear on my sleeve?;

Are you holding him and wishing he was me?;

Cause while I’m with her it’s you I see;

Does he also know your heart is in another place;

 

Cause I’m sure she knows mine is, it’s written all over my face;

Do you try and dial my number when it should be erased?;

I sometimes dial yours even though I know your number changed;

I stay out all night trying to drink my pain away;

 

Do you also come home at sunrise;

Feeling more alone even though you partied all night?;

Do we also meet in your dreams and you cry when you wake;

These are the things I wonder when by chance we meet;

 

Do you also pretend or are you really over me….

We were just friends at first;

I never planned to fall for her;

You were always my one and only girl;

I was just returning her ways of flirt;

 

She gave me the attention you never did;

She always answers my calls;

The calls you chose to ignore;

Where you left holes she filled the gap;

 

I’m not making excuses, i’m only stating facts

I was wrong I understand that;

But I’m just a man, I was giving you love but you never loved me back;

Everytime I tried to make time;

 

You were always too busy, all those excuses you made;

Eventually the love we had started to fade;

I know I should have told you, but you didn’t want to hear what I had to say;

I’m not the cheating type, I’ve never been that way;

 

We never did anything yet before your imagination runs away;

The empty space you left inside me she replaced;

I’m sorry if I hurt you, it was an unintentional mistake;

I see the tears running down the side of your face;

 

But girl you neglected me every other day;

Love can’t grow if it’s left up to one;

It takes two to make any bond;

I couldn’t keep it alive on my own;

 

We can try again, everyone makes mistakes when they are in love;

You reply and that your tears are not my fault;

Confused, “How do you mean?” I ask;

You reply “I was cheating all along”;

 

My heart instantly tore apart;

You say you wanted to tell me but you just didn’t have the heart;

You were hoping I’d read the signs;

Thinking back, I knew, but my love for you had made me blind;

 

I should have listened to my instincts, they have always been right;

So as you turn and walk away, I promise myself next time to end it when I see these same signs.
