Black History: HomeTown


Being shipped a million miles away from home
Only to find myself in a city called
Rome
Oh this city of green lights
A place so fine, amazing and bright
It almost gave me a fright
Hands and feet tied in chains
We bled and wept in pains.

Starving, cold and suffocating in this boat
Made me feel like a festive tobaski goat
In some far away fields and factories
We mourn and spit out our worries
Memories of what life use to be
Was our only cure and comforter
Working tirelessly was our only option
Can't help it we want to survive
No time to rest none to waste
Closest friends were our tools, sweat and dusts
For some tried to escape, some gave up the ghost
Others cried, committed suicide down by the coast
Nothing we did seemed too help!
Like sheep we were led from pillar to post
By our bullied arrogant hosts

This slavery has caused an erosion in our lives
It has washed away our hopes, ambitions and dreams
Sorrow, anger and betrayal were the looks on our faces
Captured taken and sold by our own race
Afraid of our challenges
Forced to be inspired by fears and insecurity
We tried to maintain our confidentiality and mentality

For home they say is were mama lives
We may have gone for so long
Sure we definitely would return some day
Joining hands and putting faith
Together we have made it
slavery and discrimination are now things of the past
It seems like it all happened so fast
Going back home, back to our native land
Were traditions and culture
Are filled with fun and mysterious adventures’
Were we can find a place to heal our wounded souls
Yes that's our roots, that's were we belong

Going Thru

no hope left, compassion dried up

i won't wait for your call

i need some sleep

have things to do tomorrow

you were never the light to my darkness

even though i cried and begged

nothing seems to move thy heart

i needed you to rescue me

my life needed a special something

not your cruel urging things

i use to want to see your everyday

eve though i was aware you were unfaithful

my heart still stayed faithful

it still loved and cared

it was ready to open up, to share

but you where never here, never there

where were you? in someone else's nest

now i'm a boy with too much misery

my love life is cold without you

again then its eerier if i let you go

you never had any good intentions for us

you never even notice the little things i do to make you happy

i can't keep up with these attitudes, lies and crooked emotions

i'm trying to cope with it but i've ran out of time, out of patience, out of love

i've cried so many nights, hold my pillow tight, tired of being alone

i'm just a ghost in your heart, i'm just another fling

well i want to be recognised, i want to be loved

and something call reality says you not the one
