All gold does not shine And all shine is not gold I legend I've been told Grew on my mind and so I found a clay so good My fingers always knew A heart is one who holds The shape of life I mold Yes you got a pretty box Very fancy trendy box But I don't fit in Find me on the other side When you break your window bars Cause I won't fit in When I was a kid I was never taught to surrender Summer used to last forever When I was a kid As far as I can remember Dream was on the snap of my finger When I was a kid The truth that is on your side As long as your know why Then all the tears you'll cry Won't leave the world to dry Must I be confused To lead this path I choose Each time you say I must That's when I won't come through

I took a chance you broke my heart just by surprise You didn't know I had it all and you want it all You keep on having us looking in With your silver fences and your bible laws You loved the fire now your ground is seedless And your God is helpless I had the land you brought the bible Told me to pray away the burning fire I closed my eyes once I was done You had my land The shits you feed me Brimstone and Fire I had the land you had the bible Now you own my land and you ate my son Somehow you know you're too far gone Cause your eyes are showing what your mouth won't say You look around you see the house be burning down while you were asleep Now you want me to sweep your bloody streets Mercy for me believe me I will

Emergency 02:09
It is an emergency Why you fall so strongly to follow the main tendency Weather is man made You've been told when to take your umbrella When it is your time to speak Your knees are weak they got you thinking it's a fantasy You turned into that man the kid in you used to fear Keep on pushing The strength of a lion Is in your desires Don't miss the light Keep on telling The rise of a soul free Is the only ending Don't miss the light Open up your hands and see If the lines in it ever faded, and the gold And please Let go the logo's won't bring you any definition This opportunity Is a breath of light that flies away Through your own two eyes Take it from me Doesn't get any more real than this Keep on pushing The strength of a lion Is in your desires Don't miss the light Keep on telling The rise of a soul free Is the only ending Don't miss the light

She journeyed from Rwanda, where she was born: to Belgium in order to escape the genocide that was ravishing her native land. From Belgium she moved to Brooklyn U.S.A where she resides today. ... more
