Life Ya Ghetto

LIFE YA GHETTO
Spoken Word Poem

Kevo Ule Wa Mistari

Nyumba zimeinama,
Maisha ni lawama,
Kazi hakuna na bado tunang’ang’ana,
Ex amenikana,
Usanii nafanya na bado sijajulikana,
Maisha imekua ngumu,
Natamani kunywa sumu,

Nahustle daily nipate ata za kulipa keja,
Na Boss nikimpigia, simu yake ni mteja,

Madeni nimejaza ata kwa mama kibanda,
Na lala chini siezi afford ata kitanda,
Irony ni kua, imagine naitwa Gitonga?
Nadream yangu ni ati one day nitakaa kwa bedsitter,
Even though sai sijalipa rent ya miezi sita,

Juzi baby mama alinidai doh ya kupeleka mtoto shule,
Nikamshow zih it’s too late,
Itabidi umenipenda bure,

Alijaribu ku-insist akanishow angalaa nipe doh ya salon,
Nikamshow zih ata leo naona ukikula kwa mama yako,

The truth is sina na siwezi iba ndo nipate,
Kiamsha kinywa si lazima ikue na mkate,
The truth is me hulala ata nikiwa kinenge,
No wonder siezi mind ata nikipewa malenge,
The truth is ata nikimeditate na mambichwa,
Bado nitawaza bongo nikikuna kichwa,

Nimeona mayouth Ghetto wakizama,
Hata Gava imetuekea lawama,
Nimeona watoi wakipata mimba,
Nama baby daddy wakiambiwa wanadinda,

At Sixteen si Kim alikua mzazi?
At Seventeen si alipigwa risasi?

Sina kitu mfukoni na dryspell imeniweza,
Niko na appetite na mate ndo nameza,
Life imenigonga Ten-Nil sai nko chini ya meza,
Na madander tulisoma nawao sai wameweza,

Jah Jah ree mbona life umenigeuzia?
Si daily kwa prayer bado naulizia?
Si ulisema binadamu tuwe kind?
Lakini cheki wananionea wivu hata wale blind

Lakini yote yakisemwa,
Chuki ni kama kikohozi na itatemwa,
Najua everything happens for a reason,
No wonder umenikeep away from prison

Reality

REALITY

Leo kuna kitu nitaconfess,
Nilitoka kwa keja like a man possessed,
Sina mbele, sina nyuma na kwa mind nilikua na stress,
My life is a mess and everytime I try to find a way out kila kitu inakuanga less,
See, I thought my purpose in life was to find my purpose,
Ju niliraisiwa na single MUM I never knew my papa,
Lakini perception imekua misconception ju kila session kwa studio naifanya na tension coz I,
Don’t wanna be judged.

See, naeza bonga mob buh kuna vitu siezi mention, zingine nitazikulia uzeeni kama benefits za pension,
Go hard or go home hapa hakuna mchezo, never fall in love kama unaogopa mateso, never say never ukijua baadaye utagive up,
And never say you’re a baller ukijua uko na mimba.

Ulinunua slings juzi na leo unajiita Nigga? Bado unajichocha Insta, ukicaption hiyo figure, you can’t spoil your nails, kwako nani ndo hupika?
Weave unatoa Japan, kwani hujai ona Lupita? Live in style my dear, life is short to live in fear.

Life and style, swag iko chini, na watoi mnadefile, miaka saba ndani, kesi iko kwa file, kunguru zina chawa, na bado unasmile? Kamiti ndo nyumbani, was it worth the while?

Loving The Imperfect

Loving The Imperfect
PART TWO

Nobody is perfect, ivo ndo wazungu walisema,
Buh nilikupenda ulivyo si ata mistari nilitema?
Ni kweli tulimeet pale Twitter, and I swear penzi lako lilikua sweeter,
Kila photo ulipost nili-double tap pale INSTA,
And I swear am a big fan of your figure,
Lakini love ni blind ju sijai mind vile ulinicheza,
Badala ya kusmile, ulikua unanicheka,
I gave you my everything na bado ukanichenga,
Loving the imperfect, moyoni ulinitesa, na bado nilikupenda nikijua utanitenda,

Sai uko na mwingine na kusema ukweli najiblame,
I thought you’re were my everything, moyoni nakuclaim,

Am trying to move on, lakini bado nakufikiria,
Am trying to be a man, lakini bado nalia,

Comments nimezisoma, Ulipost umenikoma, my blood is no longer racing, na heart yangu imegoma, loving the imperfect, how am I supposed to move on?

Your Soul Belongs To Me

Your Soul Belongs To Me
Says The Lord

My struggles finally caught up with me, got the devil on my mind.
He said I can make your life much better, just sign on the line.
I’ll give you anything you want,fill your life with riches.
Happiness is not in the form of a struggle, are you ready to switch it?

Sign here I’ll get your soul,you get the life that you wanted.
God cried 40 days and 40 nights till the whole world was flooded.
The sun rose the land dried; this was the new beginning.
Will I follow in his word or will I keep on sinning?

How can I keep on living when my flesh was made to sin?
It seems like I was born to lose but I am dying to win.
The devil’s at it again; you wanna play on a winning team?
Sign your soul over to me and in God you can still believe.

I heard the thunder, saw the lightning, the wind created a breeze.
The ground cracked and rumbled,the water rose from the seas.
God spoke, he said we both exist now that you can believe.
But you can never sell your soul, because that belongs to me.

Why I Hate Social Media

Why I Hate Social Media

I hate social media
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat
And all that crap cause Hey?
It’s misleading our fucking Generation
Look at our youth today
They can’t look up from their tabs cause they’re
too much obsessed with what’s going on
Gossips and all that stupidity
Hey, I’ve got a new pair of shoe, I gotta post that
And hey, look at Josephine
Ain’t she cool? I gotta double tap that
You see? Our youth are too much engrossed in ‘looking and acting cool’ than in being true
To who they really are
I mean they’re acting rich online buh those damn Kids are struggling offline
And what’s this thing about having friends
You’re never going to meet?
Not now, not ever?
Friends who’ll never be there for you
Physically or emotionally
Friends who will never understand
How you really feel
Friends from the other side of your screen
I mean, fuck social media
What’s the use of having Four-Thousand friends buh they will never be there for you?
What’s the use of uploading Thousands of filtered photos just to look cool?
Nigga, you should get out to the sun, life is perfect, it doesn’t need to be filtered
And so, my dear sisters
You don’t need that crop top to look beautiful
You already are
You don’t need that mini-skirt to look fabulous
You already are
Don’t let social media dictate to you
What should be social
Don’t feel left out if you can’t afford those heels
you saw Natalie with last week
Chances are, they were be borrowed
Don’t feel left out if you can’t come up with
a catchy on fleek nonsense
Chances are, it was copy pasted
And you know what?
Part of the reason why I hate social media
is because it has revolutionized
our thinking abilities
We’re now thinking in terms of likes
comments and shares
Fuck Social Media
It’s sad to realize that people’s worth
is now measured in terms of likes
It’s sad to realize that you can be a celeb online
But a freaking asshole offline
You can be a fucking player online
But a freaking loser offline
Social Media has become a platform of hiding who we really are
We’re hiding our traits behind those screens
Fuck Social Media
You ain’t giving us a chance
To be ourselves
Fake accounts, fake profile pictures
Fuck Social Media
You’re only giving us a chance
To manifest and present
Our alter egos
And you’re getting it all wrong
We’re now more like, who we dream to be
Than who we really are

I hate Social Media
But when all is said and done
I’m still gonna post this online
Cause at the end of the day?
I still want you to subscribe

My heart is all over the world tonight
I’m still searching for you
I hope I can make everything right
When the sky is still blue

How can I sit here and hide
Knowing you’re no longer with me?
How can I believe love is blind
When there’s so much to see?

Would you take the wheel
If I loose control?
And if I loose my mind
Would you take me home?

Like a mirror on the wall
The only thing you reflect is love
And even if I were to fall
You’d still be the only girl I have

I’m sorry I was so stupid
Letting you go was a mistake
I’m now lonely and cupid
There’s so much at stake

You were a lady on the streets
But a freak on the bed
When they said I’m not worth it
You chose me instead

I’m not ready to let you go
I’ll do everything I can to get you back
And just so you know
I’ll always be there to watch your back

I love you Maureen
And I’m asking you to love me again
I know I did you wrong
And that’s a price I should pay

A Deal With The Devil

A Deal With The Devil 2
SpokenWord

She died three years ago,
Yet I see her everyday
She gave me a choice, yes or no,
But I didn’t know what to say
I know I wronged God,
And it’s a price I should pay
Yet I tried to say no,
And even run away

But wherever I went,
She was there

She said she cannot live without me
That she can’t be at ease of free without me by her side
That she can’t see she was blind and could never find

A man like me

She loved me to death
And not even a day could pass without her thinking of me

She said that we were meant to be

But she was dead and I lived so, how could that be possible?

The first time she appeared to me,
I was fast asleep in the middle of the night
Her hands embraced me but I put up a fight
She held me tight so I screamed cause I could feel her presence but I couldn’t see her
I begged and she let me go,
I took to my heels
Next morning when all was gone I thought it was a dream

The next day she came,
She promised me wealth and fame
If I could play along to her game
And if I could truly love her without shame
Then I’ll have my soul to save

With nothing to say and nowhere to run

With a price to pay and a lesson to learn

I had to make a deal with this mysterious lover

She took me under the sea to see her world
I was out of the ordinary, somewhat spellbound
I saw mysterious beings and the mythical queen of the sea
I saw mysterious deeds and the physical transitions of beasts
I had to denounce my God if I truly wished to live
I was forced to surrender my soul and to pledge my loyalty to the almighty queen on the throne

Tears running down my cheeks,
As my family members lined up for me to pick
The first in line to be killed,
So my dreams would be fulfilled

I cried wishing I could drop down and die

For their souls were worth more than money could buy

Blood is thicker than water

But I had to make a choice and it was an order

With nothing to say and nowhere to run

With a price to pay and a lesson to learn

I had to make a deal with the devil

But I was assured of love,
Jane came and gave me a kiss on my cheeks saying how pleased and proud she was
I was all alone in the world with no next of kin but her kisses made me forget the things and the people I’ve lost
I was afraid though for she was not an ordinary being
She was a spirit and there was no way my moral sense would let it be
She was mysterious and there was nothing I could do

It didn’t matter where I was, far or near
They could still control and manipulate my soul from up here (brain)
Making my life crumble bit by bit
Like the pain in my butt as I do the hard shit!

I couldn’t believe I was destined to burn in hell
So the pain I felt was more than I could tell
But my greed for wealth made me ignore the only friend (Jesus) that could save me from the pits of hell
I never believed in God for I had everything I could ever wish for…with Jane by my side, my life was complete

Untill, they decided to take a toll on me
The voices in my head made me feel like the world was coming to an end
My haunted soul griped with fear you can imagine the pain was more than I could bear
But I deserved it for the things I did were more than real
I deserved to die the guilt made me cry
The demons in my head driving me insane
I tried to beg but all was in vain

With nothing to say and nowhere to run

With a price to pay and a lesson to learn

I had to take my life…

But God had other plans for me
I met a friend who introduced me to Christ
He said that he was the son of God and so I thought

How could it be?

That he died on the cross so we could be free?

How could he ever forgive the sinful me?

My friend asked me to repent and accept Christ as saviour and Lord
In a solemn relationship that only we can bond
I did as told and so,

God redeemed my soul!
