hello self


 
Helloo…..…self
How self-conscious can you get
How boastful can you bet
This morning I looked in the mirror
I could see nothing but myself
A selfish beast
Always think of my self’s best intrest 
Before others
That bothers my street mothers
No matter the cost
I always boast
(baniwone kaili)
If I don't have it
Who else will
If I don't drive that Mercedes Benz
Who else will
If I don't make the best grades
Who else will
Wait grades no I don’t care that much about grades ,okay
If I don't live in the best house
Who else will?
If I don't date her
Who else will?
I mean I mean ..........
Why can’t i be like mwaka, john, harry ng’uni, baby lotie Lusaka studios
  or any other unpride guys out there
Why can't I be like dick, ray, or rock or Mr Lungu Chagwa Edgar
Slowly depression
It’s like an initiation 
Set in over throwing
 
 
 
The kingdom of my heart
 
 
The city of my head dis organized.
My selfish stature should be minimized
Someone please tell me
 
The remedy to this situation.
Coz I have run out of solutions
Coz I really feel changed
By nature I was growing in a humble way
But now am outside the narrow way 
But now I do not know why
Someone tell me before I get lost for good
Coz am in a wrong lane am told
The truths hates but it continues to unfold
Till I change don’t drop
Nor stop ,
 thank you for your attention lets change from that range and start a new page!!!!!
