Michael...

It was a chilly afternoon. I was sitting down on the cold sidewalk alone in front of my house. The wind blew my brown hair in my face, which made me constatntly push it away. The cold breeze would hit my skin making me shiver a little bit. I should've listened to my Mom when she told me to take a koti, jacket with me, but, as usual, I didn't. I took a yellow chalk stick out of the box in front of me. It was half-used. I got on my knees and wrote my name on the concrete, "G-E-N-E-S-I-S" I would say to myself as I wrote my name. When I dotted my "I" with a moyo the chalk broke into pieces. "Aww come...

She’s looking for a job and a finer place to stay,
She’s looking for the hope and the empty promises,
She’s working two jobs, keeping alive,
She works in a restaurant during day,
She waits her life away,
She wipes her tears away.
She hides inside every time she feels this way,
And she’s …inside, every time her baby cries.

Chorus:
Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind stay alive,
Keeping your wings so we can fly,
Keep your head up, tonight!
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Are we could just rise up, tell me now?
Give me your wings so we can fly!

Killing up the life in...

When people ask me ‘what is the greatest moment of your life thus far’, I do not hesitate for one moment: it was the night I got to play the kinanda for Michael Jackson.

Let me back up a little. Michael and my dad became friendly when he moved to New York in 2001 to record his album, Invincible. While I am well aware of the many controversies that surrounded Michael Jackson’s life, they had no bearing on the evenings that my family and I got to spend with him. My family was lucky enough to get to know him and his beautiful, lovely children, away from the flash of cameras and the chants of...

The Way She Came Into The Place
I Knew Right Then And There
There Was Something Different
About This Girl

The Way She Moved
Her Hair, Her Face, Her Lines
Divinity In Motion

As She Stalked The Room
I Could Feel The Aura
Of Her Presence
Every Head Turned
Feeling Passion And Lust

The Girl Was Persuasive
The Girl I Could Not Trust
The Girl Was Bad
The Girl Was Dangerous

I Never Knew But I Was
Walking The Line
Come Go With Me
I alisema I Have No Time
And Don't wewe Pretend We Didn't
Talk On The Phone
My Baby Cried
She Left Me Standing Alone

She's So Dangerous
The Girl Is So Dangerous
Take Away My Money
Throw Away My Time
You...

Speculate to break the one wewe hate
Circulate the lie wewe confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
The hounding media in hysteria
Who's the inayofuata for wewe to resurrect
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told the grassy knoll
The blackmail story in all your glory

It's Slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen wewe torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And wewe don't have to read it
And wewe don't have to eat it
To buy it is to feed it
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because wewe read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just...
