In The Shadows We Hide
In the shadows I hide because society already made up
How, who and what I should be but you are what is
Expected of me, no matter how because I am supposed
To provide for you, my struggles and pain are mine to
Conceive because indoda ayi khali…
You un-conceal my skeletons to the public for all to
Convulsed yet I speak of your flaws I am considered
Weak nor impulsive because wa thintha abafazi wathintha
Imbokodo, funny how they united positively nor negatively
But we united negatively yet positively we are afar…
In the shadows we hide because society already made us,
United we are not, divided we are because of that perspective
We are superior but the truth is we created that society
Ourselves because we afraid of what we really are MEN…
