Dec 15th 2002 Lyrics

This my birth, this my birth

This my birth, this my birth

This my birth, this my birth

This my birth, this my birth

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

Give me life, give me life

Give me life, give me life

Give me life, give me life

Give me life, give me life

Listen to the monochid

As I spit somethin' truly awkward

The doors 'pear, I'm born here into a world not supported

Dyin' in this world, cryin' in this world 'cause I'm not important

My eyes are closed I'm not cautious

Those bright lights are so absorbent

They pick me up, put me in a blanket

She can't believe that it actually happened

She can't believe that I'm finally here

I'm alive with my eyes shut

I'm alive with my mind up

I'm alive like a nightclub

I'm alive but not iced up!

I'm tryna' get my life right

Tryna' get the limelight

Makin' sure its bite-size

Wanna get the flows tight

Wanna get my soul right

I wanna hold mics

And kill 'em with closed eyes

Its 'bout to be a rough ride, so you better hold tight

Ask about my love life 'cause you know its a goldmine

Why is my blood tight? 'Cause I got an old mind

Make it in due time? I'll make it on my own time

Soul!

So tell me who's better

Is it Mngadi or is it Cassper?

Is it Reece or is it Nasty?

Is it Shane or is it Mega?

Is it Luc' or is it Kwesta?

You know its Soul so close the topic

Get Bobby Tarantino if you need more logic

What you expect when I'm conscious, honest?

Soul!

This my birth, this my birth

This my birth, this my birth

This my birth, this my birth

This my birth, this my birth

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

I wanna live too, I wanna live too

Give me life, give me life

Give me life, give me life

Give me life, give me life

Give me life, give me life

At 04:45 on a Sunday morning I was born

Like all poets before and after me I cried a storm

My eyes closed but mind open

As more time went after my birth, I saw my life closin'

My frail body that I couldn't understand how to move

Its when the doctors are closest to you to tell you the truth

They dried me to ensure I had no issues or problems

Yes no one remembers their first day but being held by the doctors was awesome

Crying that I'm alive and that I couldn't see

And because of the bright lights above us frightened me

I opened my eyes and saw myself in a nurse's hands and cried

Surprisingly because I was unwillingly attracted to her eyes

And only stopped when I was in my mom's arms

Yes I was connected to her palms

While with her, everything around me left me mesmerised

The ward itself was able to get a frail little boy infant energised

Clinging onto her breasts as a way to create comfort

But this sight I couldn't understand or know somehow guided me like Muhammad

I want Africa back
