Hi Lusaka


HEY LUSAKA Two sides of a coin which are part of a diamond encrusted heart Raised by a city of truth and lies but finally I grew up an vocalise About how a itx divided into two WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? Let me explain what I mean Ive seen both sides of the story I shoulda known it could get gorey But I put my foot in to both parts of da pot Tryin to achieve my goals thinkin it was worth a shot Not knowin that I couldn’t connect da dots They Martin Luthor king had a dream but unlike him I had nothin to fight for God blessed me with the talent to memorise a verse Sadly this kid thought it was a curse Followin girls,weed,lean and da typa drugs that could male you dream Devil tried to constrict me as I begun to scream I figured this is Lusakas way of showin the city love But when given a choice I chose none of the above AND WHAT NEXT Like an ox goin to slaughter devil cast a spell on me and am not talkin Harry porter But the devil wanted to expose me to more sin and tell more stories than a news reporter I really wantedto stand for something but the more I fought the more I lost sight of it In the end I found something more than the so called city Love WHAT WAS THAT? The reason for my existence Though the devil may have left a scar in the stone wall that was called a heart God opened it n gave me meanin So this city did show me the love I needed to become what I am now!!
