Every man is his own ancestor, and every man his own heir. He devises his own fortune, and he inherits his own past.

Tobacco
I don't know anything about you,
So why should i sell out my tobacco plantation to you? !

Carnal
The carnal mind of mankind is what rules the wold,
And the beautiful butterflies were killed last night!
But, i did seek for you my love;
And, you were nowhere to be found.
The rain has now stopped for me to walk through,
And the carnal mind will lead me on to search for you!
Because, she she who is your wife brought forth her firstborn last night;
And, you were nowhere to be found.
The carnal minds of therse people around me are in vain! !
But, where is the husband of this woman?
And like the case of the dead butterflies!
For, i now need a place to hide myself from these negative acts.

Today is a rainy day
today is a rainy day
I love it always want to say
dont murder it under umbrella
just let the soft part of world dropping on every face and wall
im wearing a raindropp im clean in the rain
I see my breath blowing in the rain fire in the rain
today is a rainy night
I close my eyes always want to fly
dont whisper it under umbrella
just forget the sounds of silence telling it to me loudly and clear
im kissing a raindropp im loved in the rain
I pray my soul saved in the rain rise in the rain
today is a rainy day
tonight you are a rainy night

I bring other constituencies - I also have ties to minority communities. And obviously, to the world of world-class research universities. So I can bring some constituencies that I'm used to working with.

That Is All That I Really Wanted
the path today is dusty
slowly, i walk and you pass by
on the same direction
you walk past me like you are in a rush for something
you're fast that is what you want to tell me
i do not really mind for you do not exist at all
i am thinking of pebbles. They are unmoved.
They are faceless. They are saying more important things
than your speed, your fast paced conclusions,
you think that you are as high as a cliff, and unreachable by the worm
you are wrong, i may have been drifting like a cloud
i gather rain and then i feed all that thirst on the earth
i vanish soon leaving no mark. That is all that i really wanted.

A no to death bell
No one wants to hear death bell
It doesn’t find favor or go well
Everyone has different stories to tell
No one can generate idea or easily sell
It creates fear in mind
All unnecessary thoughts get unwind
We are half dead before its arrival
There is anxiety and great upheaval
Well it has to come on appointed day
No is no escape route or way
No one has anything to offer or say
You need no worry or attention to pay
Your good work may come to rescue
It is fine with you and equally true
You are at relative comforts
It doesn’t bother you much or hurt

Later Tonight
You wait till later
till later tonight
You wait till later, till later
till later tonight
That boy never cast a look in your direction
Never tried to hook for your affection
Dresses like the mod of your invention, tall and proud
He is the head boy of the school of thought
That plays in your intentions, night and day
And you wait till later
till later tonight
You wait till later, till later
till later tonight
And you wait till later
till later tonight
You wait till later, till later
till later tonight
cause tonight always comes

Nobodys Child
Painted lady, stop that closin in on me,
Painted lady, youre supposed to be a dream,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.
Painted lady, why you loosinin my tie,
Painted lady, whats that twinkle in your eye,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.
Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads,
Painted lady, dont you do these dirty deeds,
Painted lady, you better stay here with me.
Nobodys child til I saw the light of your smile.
Painted lady, nobodys child, you have set me free.
Nobodys child, you came in and stayed for a while.
Painted lady, nobodys child, you have set me free.
