I walk my own way one step at a time
cautious with care I still share what I find
lay myself bare in these digital shrines - But
I won’t stay near for you to see my crimes, love
here if u need
here if u need
here if u need tho
don’t let me bleed
don’t let me bleed
don’t let me bleed slow
sing myself sutures
run from my past just to hide from my future
I do not feel empty I feel less than half now
I would never say it till the moments past how
do I feel the gaps in my solid hands
lose my love between the cracks of unsolid plans
let me overflow
just mop me up another time
i’ll be here to hold u close
hoping that you change your mind
hoping that our paths align
know I said I gets hard first but I
hoped I was wrong like those other moments long since de
parted from danger
and friends become strangers
and family don’t @ me
just watch me with worry
like don’t fall behind but don’t leave in a hurry
like don’t fall behind but don’t leave in a hurry
well I might take my time with this
And I might tow the line with this
my paper mache molecules still scattered like a pollock pools of wasted rotten paint
make no martyrs trust no saint
clear my canvas leave no trace
I’ll find my peace before my place
I m mau from don’t nowhere I’m going
my how come is holy my why not is glowing
my care is my castle my capture my cupid my death
strip myself to the bones and take all that’s left
here if u need
here if u need
here if u need tho
don’t let me bleed
don’t let me bleed
don’t let me bleed slow

VERSE 1
I’m not fine
can’t say my piece I need time
hand break release the gears grind
like I can’t unmake the mould that’s inside
tangled thoughts are caught on each side when I try separate the code I live by from the roles I chose to help me survive
helped you and I
keep peace of mind
hold me closer
tear me up again
twisted paper
thank me later
pull me under
you’re my oxygen
let me breathe
let me
Wait
you’ve got salt in your heart
gravel in the socks won’t stop if you stray from the path
clay hands built for the craft
made plans beautifully laid so our gods get a laugh
so hold me closer and take my breath
hold my ankles down while i stretch
keep me grounded right till my death
if you let me go I won’t come down
CHORUS
oh and I know I’ll find it
it’s all timing
steady I steady Im climbing
I don’t mind it
give it a moment you’ll find it
not gold just guidance
lord knows we’re trying
lord knows we’re trying
VERSE 2
where did you leave your heart
why’d you forget it in the first place
I took space and you took me apart
we were doomed from the start if we never learnt to show face
well I showed my heart on each sleeve
stayed up beside you no sleep
don’t phone me now it’s not deep
wait there Imma hold it down with such ease
don’t rush me gurl it takes time
don’t ask you know i’m not fine
you can read between the slick lines
the things are thick signs are posted each mile
Im mildly estranged it’s weird this new phase
manners on text a friendly exchange
mad about x and y and z thang
it’s feelings in waves
Im tryna be brave
CHORUS
hold me closer
tear me up again
twisted paper
thank me later
pull me under
you’re my oxygen
let me breathe
let me

So if you’re lonely
You can hit me on my line all night
Even tho you make my chest feel tight
I’ll stick pick up for you
Just don’t disown me
If you find a boy who fits your life
Nothing crazy nothing worth your time
But isn’t love all we do
Am I still waiting for you
‘Cause isn’t love all we do
I know it hurts but it’s true
I know it hurts but it’s true
So let your flowers grow,
And find somebody to love
Been down this road before
I won’t stick around just because
So let your flowers grow,
And find somebody to love
Been down this road before
I won’t stick around just because
If you think you really know me, show me.
‘Cause if you say it I’m unlikely to believe
The little flickers of faith in us beyond the unforeseen
The bitter bickering breaking the cement beneath our feet
We made these-
Mirrors to break, in case of our urgency. Knowing if we
need to escape, it’s not an emergency. Growing from a -
Piece to a place,
that I can feel home
Never letting go
Better that I phone-
Every once in a while, whenever you need to breathe.
I see the grief in your smile I taste the tears in my teeth
I think I needed to cry but I was scared to compete
I would never put my fears at your feet,
Put my pain on your plate.
Waiting on your message at a quarter to eight
Staring at the ceiling trying to find a mistake
Hope we keep it pushing ‘stead of living to wait
Doing my best not to break, feel like you’re doing the same.
So let your flowers grow,
And find somebody to love
Been down this road before
I won’t stick around just because

cold days
damn I really miss them cold days
never feeling to alone days
them just me and you at home days
text you
when I need a sudden rescue
stay right there I got the best view
I'm not fine but swear the rest true
CHORUS
and if I had robots heart
I’d take every piece apart
to show you that I’m broken
even when the lights are on
and if I had a heart of stone
told you to leave me alone
I know you know I’d crumble
long before you’d even gone
2ND VERSE
I got a lot that I need to say
but I save that part for a longer day
an I feel a little bit stronger day
when my words don’t fall or ricochet
but they hold your hands like a broken promise
not too painful not too honest
soaked in stars like flying comets
sweeter than pancakes with the berries on it
like a sunrise over an icy plain
or a stranger wearing your mother’s name
that scary softness you can’t explain
and when it hits you nothing feels the same
I hate it when I get this way
tell you go and hope you stay
all the silly games we play
but if I had robots heart
I’d take every piece apart
to show you that I’m broken
even when the lights are on
and if I had a heart of stone
told you to leave me alone
I know you know I’d crumble
long before you’d even gone

My sister called me this morning, I missed it
Can’t feel ashamed cause my thoughts too distant
Funny how the mood shifts back in an instant,
Left me to drift in the past and the pictures.
Clouds in the sky look gray and angry
Loves at my door I can't let it near me
Stare at the wall thinking “no it can’t be”
True to the bone ‘cause it's all a mystery
Run head down till I lose my trust
Can't turn around what if I find dust
Days were the sweetest when I was a teen
And your face on the screen felt like sunshine’s touch
And nowadays I try my hardest to not talk too much
But not for me it's for us
Family circles they grow till they break
Jumping through hurdles and dodging mistakes
Look in the water to see my reflection
Its all a projection
I swear its a fake
Lost my attention through panic prevention
So I stay in bed I’m too tired to wake
(Distorted)
Sky look gray and angry
Loves at my door I can't let it near me
Stare at the wall thinking “no it can’t be”
True to the bone ‘cause it's all a mystery
Run head down till I lose my trust
Can't turn around what if I find dust
Days were the sweetest when I was a teen
And your face on the screen
I dunno if you’ll miss me or miss this love
We’re so close it's hard to see what we’ve become
Now I look at the future and the clouds all gray
Trying to say that I love you, but I can’t stay

1ST VERSE
It’s me
I’ve been up too late
I’ve been checking text, holding my breath till my chest ache
Now my phone’s on silent
Nowadays I stay silent
Scared I’m a stay there forever, love
and I’m a little scared you won’t mind it
By the way I’m fine just jaded
When I get complicated
Wrote a couple lines just to kill time last night.
Read it back, already, hate it
Wish I could’ve paced myself stayed stealth with the motion
Cause now each drops like a drop in the ocean
I know I need love but I just want focus
I want to give trust but it still feels stolen, please
So now I stay up late with the lights off
Getting dressed up feeling Mike Ross
Every day’s shorts but the nights long, I swear
And maybe I catch up but the line breaks,
Only that song, the crowd rates
I stay quiet or I move fake, it’s unfair
Taking no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’
Swallow the issue like edible tissues, say brodie I wish you luck
I only take half of the praises it hurts me to say that the rest gets chucked
Into the well into the water, pack ‘em like shells in the mortar
So tell me what you want then
I know it’s hard to find the words to say
I haven’t figured where the time went
And now it’s feeling like I’m miles away
I want some peace, I just want quiet
When I’m with you it’s like the noise just fades
Till we find ourselves in silence
Till we’re scared to even walk away
Hold my breath while I wait for the verdict
Burn my chest till I’m free from the curses
Sweet how vexed when I expect the next best gesture to be more than a burden
I’m waiting. Not more meditating
Funny how the ones who tell be patient, spend the night shaking
And obvi I’m speaking to me.
Copy the con to a T
I’m just afraid I’m staying the same and not gaining the courage to leave
Maybe I’m scared I could fly
Either move forward or day
Holding my actions to laws of attraction that forced me to swallow my pride
CHORUS
Room gets cold when I walk in
Type of shit that makes me want to ghost
Nothings getting clearer in the mirror
Now I’m looking at me like a ghost
Now I’m looking at me like a
Ghost (x5)
Now I’m looking at me like a
Ghost (x5)
Type of shit that makes me want to
Ghost (x5)
Now I’m looking at me like a
Ghost (x6)
2ND VERSE
I want to make it better,
Know it gets worse with every verse
And no I’m not being clever
I can not rehearse, being on the verge
of losing myself to everyone else
And trapped all my essence to keep on a shelf
It’s planned obsolescence I’ve built up myself,
So as soon as I’m living for me, you can leave
And I get it, I get it, I get it now
Dropped in the water I let it down
Having these chats with my inner child
And he’s angry I’m letting these feeling out
But he’s happy he doesn’t hold them
Happy he isn’t “Holden”
Thinking of when it was golden,
and hoping those moments stay frozen
And I know that they will…
I try to touch it but I feel the chill
Happy it hurts so that I know that it’s real
Happy it hurts so that I know that it’s real
I know that I will,I try to touch it but I feel the chill
Happy it hurts so that I know that it’s real
Happy it hurts so that I know that it’s real

night's still young but I’m low on funds and my energy’s weaker
phone on 10% but I don’t wannna charge it then talk on speaker
Im good , been better than most times but this ain’t easier
that’s why when this life feels too much I wish for some light amnesia
lost in smoke , words don’t last
crack two jokes , puff then pass
life moves slow then it’s way too fast
and if I lose hope then my heart turns glass
so I stay on cruise control and then dash
seatbelt on I hope we don’t crash
slow my speed to regain composure
heart on sleeve covered up when it’s colder
brake then breathe still gasping for closure
leave while the timing right
answer you call pre-flight
lost in a maze these days
when the sky clears hope we can find out way back here
I’ll hit you up, I’ll hit you up
I’ll call you right back
I’ll hit you up,
I’ll call you up when this shit blows over
I’ll hit you up, I’ll hit you up
Don’t get so detached
I just need
Some peace of mind
Can you give me?
Some peace of mind
I just need
To realign
Nights still young but I feel a bit grown for this teenage fever
We’ve got loose ends you don’t wanna tie ‘em and I don’t either
I’m good
been better than most times
And I miss you
Still I feel used
I need some time away
I don’t wanna lie, I don’t wanna fight
When we’re both already faded
And tension always seems fated
I don’t wanna cry so I’d rather say goodnight
‘Cos your mind’s already made up
Your headstrong and I’m impatient
Maybe when we’re older
We wont always rub shoulders
So my head is in the clouds
See you when I get down
(And I’m not coming down)
I’ll hit you up, I’ll hit you up
I’ll call you right back
I’ll hit you up,
I’ll call you up when this shit blows over
I’ll hit you up, I’ll hit you up
Don’t get so detached
I just need
Some peace of mind
Can you give me?
Some peace of mind
I just need
To realign

Rained last night
it’s sunnier now,
said my joke made you giggle - think it’s funnier how
Instead of taking my time feel like I’m asking for yours,
with nothing concrete in my mind.
Just letting life run it’s course
and if you put me on pause, girl I don’t blame you
‘cause part of me was trying to do the same too.
Either I’m happy that you came thru,
either way I’m only here because:
I like hearing you talk
I like holding your hand
I know finding each other was never part of your plan
I been thinking too much
I been thinking of you
Trying to fight how Im feeling like I got something to prove
I like holding your hand (x2)
I like taking my time
I like taking it slow
I like not really knowing exactly where this’ll go
I know feelings are hard
maybe you need a break
I know it’s complicated in ways that I can’t relate
I like holding your hand (x2)
Days get cold when it supposed summer time
Tell don’t show doesn’t matter if your heart aligned
I never know where a night can lead
‘Cause when it feels too good, think it’s make believe
But I don’t wanna wake up yet - ‘cause I’m having fun
Sorry if I interject
But your eyes are sun
Shining soft as morning,
Hopeful for the day.
Still finding my footing so I’m sorry if I stray
-from the point know my joints getting weary by the day
From the path know my hearts been a victim of decay
For the life of me I keep forgetting what to say
When we get a lil close, and I don’t want any space
Like Hey
Wondering if you ate
Just in case you haven’t there’s a spot by your estate
If I don’t hit any traffic I can meet you there at 8
Or if you’re ready in 20 I can pick you on the way girl
I like hearing you talk
I like holding your hand
I know finding each other was never part of your plan
I been thinking too much
I been thinking of you
Trying to fight how Im feeling like I got something to prove
I like holding your hand (x2)
I like taking my time
I like taking it slow
I like not really knowing exactly where this’ll go
I know feelings are hard
maybe you need a break
I know it’s complicated in ways that I can’t relate
I like holding your hand (x2)

Im happy you came over when you did
iTs been a day love and I miss you quite a bit
and you and I lead different lives
and we might just grow to hate it if it means we can’t keep holding onto this
and I like the way you let me hold your hand
and that smile you get whenever we make plans
when it’s cold outside you close your eyes and just wrap your arms round me
it’s getting late but I’ll stay over if i can
someone to hold someone to need yeah
when it gets hard
I fall apart you never leave yeah
give you my all
give it to give not to receive yeah
Tell me I’m loved
I try to lie , say I believe yuh
I tried waking it off
still I couldn’t get that far
felt like talking a lot dug a deeper hole that just pushed us apart
maybe I’m uncomfortable in conflict
so I do all I can to try and stop it
putting pain to the side both yours and mine to realign my stance on a broken promise
I Know I said I’m fine
I’m not and I can’t help it
not sorry
that I get worried feeling low might make me selfish and Swear
I just want my best me to be right there when it’s late out and we’re both scared about fate now and you’ll call me and I’ll tell you that
Im here to hold you if u need yeah
if it gets hard
and you apart Ill never leave yeah
give you my all
give it to give not to receive yeah
Tell you you’re loved
baby it’s easy to believe yuh
and easy to se
Im happy you came over when you did
iTs been a day love and I miss you quite a bit
and you and I lead different lives
and we might just grow to hate it if it means we can’t keep holding onto this
and I like the way you let me hold your hand
and that smile you get whenever we make plans
when it’s cold outside you close your eyes and just wrap your arms round me
it’s getting late but I’ll stay over if i can

He told me he hasn’t cried in 7 summers
it’s not hard
you just make a pretty mask to cover
the old scars
I told him these moments seem to come more often - each year
and my lips get dryer every winter
with each tear
it’s so cold
we steal light
we can’t cope
but still fight
So why make it worse when we’re so tired
these water boys keep staring fires
and now it’s everyone that’s getting burnt
while we boil
and then we throw each other to the dirt
the dead soil
and how is any grass supposed to grow
without water
boys don’t dry your fountain
these tears move mountains
it’s so cold
we steal light
we can’t cope
but still fight
So why make it worse when we’re so tired
these water boys keep staring fires
and now it’s everyone that’s getting burnt
while we boil
and then we throw each other to the dirt
the dead soil
and how is any grass supposed to grow
without water
boys don’t dry your fountain
these tears move mountains

I know I stay a little late up
mind a million pieces a part
but that don’t mean I gotta say su’in
cause I don’t even know where to start
swear I’m just asking for some patience
and I think deserve what I give
so I don’t need someone to wait up
Im on my time I got my own life to live
(x2)
Imma do what I want and not do what I don’t
and baby that’s all she wrote
need my time then get a quote
Imma do what I want and not do what I don’t
they won’t reach me I’m remote
off the grid just off the coast
i just need space to reflect
got a lot of energy I need to protect
if it’s not the requests it’s the depths
I ain’t ask for
coming from the left and they hit like a southpaw (OH)
my days I been
off of my ways
like every other day there’s a problem - pause
lost at sea on a boat no oars
so my face on freeze like madam tussaudes
wait
I don’t want stress
I don’t wand drama or no bad karma
when the wind come I be water
no enemy shall go prosper
on my life
Im reading the signs
I got nothin but time and love
I won’t give up on me on me
meet me down by the lake
I wanna savour the day
out of time out of space
with my hands on your waist
baby we can escape
throw the pressure away
give this freedom a taste before it gets cold (3x)
Imma do what I want
not what they want me to
On my own time right now
Refusal my refuge

Time flies - doesn’t it
Stared at sober skies
I’m not seeking guidance just coverage
Hoping for the walkthrough
- Ngai was having none of it
Stuff we tried to talk through
- now the pain is public
Tossed myself aside
Like fuck it , I’m out of pride
Like fuck it , I’m out of time
Need a minute need a breath
Gave myself to everyone and now there’s nothing left
If I give it to the art I’ll split apart with every step (yeah)
Cause These times grow me but
It’s still lonely love
Hurts and holds me up
Hate to say it
flabbergasted and fated
To a hopeless over estimated dream
Where my lady love me crazy and I’m not afraid to be - me
Headstrong I won't topple tho it’s heavy days
The tide is high but I let it ride on my merry way
I’m baking dilla the frozen filler is ever glazed
Worry 99 but in any case that’s a penny saved
Maya Amolo:
Wanna start and take a moment and thank my bro
For making shitty situations cozy o
Manipulation of the moment
Where the feeling’s really potent
But stars burn slow,
And so they grow
So let me go get to it
My constant crooning
Over melodies sweet
And a rapid heartbeat, beats me
How we manage
I don’t understand
Why they keep calling my sadness
A big advantage
I tap into these moods and hope pretty flowers bloom
And Imma wait for the sun, hope that she’ll be here soon
And from time to time we get a little scared
But at the end of the day?
Kazi Iendelee, ama?
Freesia Flow:
Kazi I endelee Maya?
Kazi I endelee, haiya?
Kwanza this beat is too fire
Waking up from a nap
I thought I saw you in my dreams
And that shit kinda slapped
We was walking by the sea
Or was it the beach
I reach
deep
deeper into my conscious
Created moments so timeless
It's easy to forget
Maybe that's why I rhyme less
Losing self respect
In a city so cons-tricting
Of my talents
I'm unbalanced
Because of the callous ways
You are not listening
Or maybe you heard me
Nairobi
Unauma you're killing me slowly
Caving under pressure and ducking the police
I'm only
25
Why is it so gad damn hard to feel alive
Why is it so gad damn hard to just try
Why is it so
For all of it's uncertainty, we cannot flee the future. One meets his destiny often in the road he takes to avoid it.

Make sure you always be honest
Make sure to keep yourself

You are your own equal
You are your own sequel

I’ll be searching for you in the next one
Until then, I’m holding you close enough to see the reflection in your eyes.

And he’s the oldest so handling pressure’s his daily bread.
I’ll be searching for you in the next one (x3)
Mau from nowhere:
Scared of the attention but I love it
Oh don’t we all
Builds a plastic pedestal that stand so tall
And if it grows the vegetables then praise to lord
But guarantee it won’t be painless when it’s time to fall
Cause we were made to be broken and adjusted
I lit a flame till my cranium combusted
And I’m insane to believe love can’t be trusted
Even if there’s no proof
Someone always close who
Kept it 10 squared was willing yet unprepared for the future and its fears
Broken suchres leaking tears
Worried that I can’t cry these days
I stay inside these days
Philosophize on every reason I’m alive these days
Like is it my real fate
To shine a light these ways
And illuminate my surroundings tho the sky be gray And still
epitomize the inner mind
That’s scared to photosynthesize
In case the sun don’t hit him right
And all the porous pigment dies
Monski:
Nina maswali sieizi jibu

I’m trying to find peace
Mbali na wenye wivu
My mind is in a bubble
Can puncture with a needle
I’m cena to my love
When he wish that I was see through
Always with my drop R2D2

I don’t pay em no mind head high my yout
I was breaking down mics and destroyed your crew
(Oooo)
Mau from nowhere:
lucky to have a cushion
Image is unreliable
focus on what you shouldn’t
focus on what you be on
focus on what seeing go behind all the eons of
life that kept us doubting and thinking we couldn’t just be

and I don’t have to do this on my own man
no I don’t need to walk through the quicksand
no I don’t need to work through the quicksand
no I will not die by my own hand
and I don’t have to do this on my own man
No I will not walk through the quicksand
No I will not sink in this quicksand

cold dust in the sun rays
can’t trust myself so I’m headed home
said I’d meet you back at my place
even tho I know I need a night alone
you can tell me you don’t love me
its easier than watching you try
and I don’t know when this turned ugly
but I spent a minute wondering why
maybe it was me then
maybe it was meant to be then
I don’t wanna feel like,
I’m a bit too hard to love (x2)
I was too afraid to ask yuh
the other me might love the answer
run away with the truth to a darker pasture
all i needed was proof to prevent my peace
(-) and back then we would barely sleep
but hide scars till the hurting would start to seep
the same path wouldn’t work if we went too deep
and neither one of us would take the leap
so I tiptoe slowly lonely
round it , grounded - calm
a little bit of love never did no harm
fitting like a glove when I’m in your arms
then I giggle just because when I see your laugh - who said life was a constant
times still mould us fight through the nonsense
see you clear
can’t stay here
still be near - I told you
everything we go through it grows us
still i’m pulling at the door when it closes
tell myself don’t feel stay focused
focused
and it works till I lose my way
but Cucu still prays so I keep my faith
it won’t show through words but the peace we make
just hope I make time for new mistakes
it might be great, might be great
you can tell me you don’t love me
its easier than watching you try
and I don’t know when this turned ugly
but I spent a minute wondering why
maybe it was me then
maybe it was meant to be then
I don’t wanna feel like,
I’m a bit too hard to love (x2)

I just hope you call
give a little time in your day
tell me that you’d rather withdraw
tell me that we’ll both be okay
I’d show all my flaws
sew them in my garden to bloom
pick the flowers after they fall
send them on a rider to you
maybe we just need to slow down
let the bleeding stop
sugar on our wounds
burn away this rot
I’m home now
maybe you’re asleep
we don’t need to talk
swear it’s not that deep
but still
I would hope you had a good night
i would hope to see you again
never thought of chasing lost time
cause everything good comes to an end
and I would hope your heart would be graceful
I would hope your memory’s kind
I can’t promise this won’t be painful
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we
you say running, late touché I relate
now the words spilling out like water
a deep breath reminiscing with death
until we stop by the steps as I ask for your order
roll your eyes with a smile times two
your cynically spoken jokes in haikus
like love is the birds but isn’t the sky too
and maybe it’s hard at first but couldn't we fly too?
or three or four oh mi amour
your smile got me so theodore
mosby hold me till we no more
or just tonight don’t block the light
this afterlife so lonely since I re-remembered you
promise on your way out this time you’ll leave better clues
I would hope you had a good night
i would hope to see you again
never thought of chasing lost time
cause everything good comes to an end
and I would hope your heart would be graceful
I would hope your memory’s kind
I can’t promise this won’t be painful
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we find
I just hope we (x4)
I just hope we keep what we

I wish I could say it gets
easier than easter
flowers under streetlights
golden dollar pizza
Easier than Curtis finding love after Alicia
but we know that ends in tragedy
so pray you won’t get mad at me
when I say
Days get heavy without warning
and feelings overwhelm us even ‘fore they’re fully forming
I might leak a couple tears to you
and say I was just yawning
and it’s only half a lie
because in truth i’m fucking tired of the
Lows that don’t relent
Foes that won’t repent
and over analysing every hour seldom spent
putting weight behind my work and still I’ve barely made a dent well
maybe I’ll take a breath before I go
catalogue expressions in my closet like i’m Koh
hope when I express my depression it brings some dough
or better yet some hope
It’s late afternoon I can barely move
swear my eyelids weigh a tonne
I wanna try shout
but my hearts in my mouth
and it tastes like broken sun
I wish I could
hold myself like you do
you got the universe holding you
easy when we know it’s hard to say
buts it’s harder still to wait for the words from you
let you hold my name but I’ll check it might’ve changed when my blood turned back and blue
you don’t know how much you know me
and I hope you never realise
why my loneliness so holy
so I keep it like a winning prize
oh
swear I’m more afraid of the good things
always so much fear in the good things
