My father.



This one is to my father, who put a spring in my step. My father is the best, aint no man alive that can take my daddies place. In a world where people value material things, I was born of and raised by someone who values principle. Ever heard when someone says I see God in you? Well I see him in my father. Isn't that more reason to know,fear , respect and love God?

This man gave me the gift of music. Music I think is one thing that resonates in most of my pieces. That should give one a glimpse of how much I love, appreciate and understand it and that is because of this man. Through the music and him I must say I have learnt a lot, I have matured way past my years because of these different messages I have heard through beautiful instruments,vocals and sounds. I love music and I love my father. Music is the medium we use to praise and worship God, music is what will be playing in our real home.

The truth is something I have had the privilege of learning through this mans conduct and not his words. His promises will not return unfulfilled and if he cannot do something he always gives you a better alternative which you wouldn't have thought of. God is the truth, he is consistent and his answers are yes, not now and I have something better in my mind. I love my father for giving me my father. He is the reason I believe I am one of the chosen ones and that humbles.

Because of my father I can write the way I do and most importantly think the way I do. Granted we didn't have the best of relationships at the beginning because I did not understand that he is who he is, always has and always will. Just like I am. I am who I am because He is who he is. A man who is consistent, never changing just like I am. Everywhere you go he is the same person, nothing more nothing less but him..just like?  You guessed it....me. Look at God, he is the same everywhere to everyone, people might go to him in different ways but he is still God, never changing and consistent.

I remember I was an only child and my dad went out of his way to get me what I wanted, but on an incentive basis. In other words if I passed well then I could get what I wanted. One of my fondest memories was when I was nagging him for a tamagotchi, if you don't know what a tambagotchi is then you are too young to be reading this blog. Anyway he said ace the term and you will get it, he didn't even know what it was. Obviously I kicked ass in the term, mostly because of his after work tutoring of course. Did I mention he helped me with my homework until I was in High School. I knew that If I did something with my dad it was going to blow everyone away including the teacher.  We went to the store, he thought I wanted a video game, he was willing to cough up big for it, so when I told him it was not what I wanted he got a bit nervous, lol until the shop assistant bought along this small little game which was way less than what he wanted to get me. Just like with God you have to do what he says and hold your part of the deal to be blessed abundantly.

I get scared at the fact that I might not meet someone like my dad. Someone who loves,protects,provides,cares  and values the truth. Someone who is consistent and never changing. I am not saying my dad is an angel nor am I saying I am looking for one. All I am saying is I want someone who is who they are and allow me to be who I am. Someone who teaches me things, someone I look up to and most importantly someone I respect. The respect I have for my dad has it's own category, that ,man is something else people who have met him will tell you. I am looking for a place where I can submit. T he thought of leaving my dad freaks me out and it brings tears to my eyes. For as far as I can remember he has always been that man who has always been there for me and never disappointed me. He has been the only man who has made a fuss about driving me and picking me up.

I guess the Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway and Nina Simone he gave to me, stirred up all these feelings of love, gratitude and appreciation inside. After writing this I am more humbled than before if that is even possible. That is one thing I learn through my father, he should copy right his own brand of humble pie. This man is so humble its humbling just watching him. Read this  and interpret it how you want because I always say, I will only be responsible for what I say, not for what you understand. The underlying message from this if there should be one, it is that  God is good and I see him and tie his lessons up with who and what he has blessed me with in my life. There is nothing stopping you from doing the same.

WORK!!


Peaces of me.

Apparently I can talk, ok so not apparently I really can talk. For a very long time I have been told I talk too much, until a friend of mine told me, "you don't talk too much, you just have a lot to say" . This statement set me free, I then put everything into perspective and realised it is true. Most people talk but don't really have anything to say, I have a lot to say on the other hand, its called content.

I have so much content I can stay up all night saying what is on my mind. But I also need time by myself, I never understood this until I realised just how much I love my own space. Being around people puts me under pressure and not a lot realise that when I am around them I am forced to say something or they misinterpret my silence for sickness or mood swings, which i never have.

As much as  I pride myself for speaking words that build and are constructive, all the credit must go to God who I ask to guide my tongue and give me wisdom. With all the Sis Dolly, Dr Phylis services I provide to all those who seek it,I also have special people who offer the same to me. This special shout out goes to Nolwazi Maziya and Khethile Isabel Malekane who keep me grounded and calm. I love you ladies God bless you and be with you all the days of your lives.


Kind Regards

History..

Jealousy

Jealousy, look what you've done to me
Turn my head around, destroy the love that I had fell
You're the cause of all my pain
Yes, you're the blame
Now he's gone becuse of plain old jealousy
You were the cause of many of misery

Plain old jealousy
That make me lose everything that was good for me
That jealousy

Jealousy, release your spell from me
Let me live again, enjoy my love to the end
You make me down what I believe
Now look straight at me
I'm all alone because of plain old jealousy
You were the cause of many of misery

Plain old jealousy
That make me down everything that was good for me
That jealousy

You were the cause of all my pain
Yes, you're the blame

Now he's gone because of plain old jealousy
You're the cause of many of misery
Plain old jealousy
That make me lose everything that was good for me
That jealousy

What the world needs now




Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen Lord, if You want to know

Lauryn Hill announces new music.

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2013/04/lauryn-hill-announces-new-music.html

Pissed off..

I tried to find a tree
Where we could lay happily

In the shade gradually
There were things revealed to me
 
I can't even hold down a job
Tryna follow up and behind me
You're over-protective and you're jealous
Change when you're around the fellows
 
Every man I speak to, something's goin' on
Look at you, look at you
Running around like a damn fool
So busy accusing me when it's your insecurity
 
So pissed off
Lookin' at life through the glass that you shattered
Little shit like love doesn't matter anymore
Baby, whassup?
Nigga, you so ticked off
Can't let up long enough to get over it
Brotha, can I live, can a sister live?
Goddamn!

"I'm fine."...

Lions,Tigers and Bears..

Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom....
You say you care and I know you do
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense
Just 'cause I love you and you love me
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be
I can climb mountains, swim 'cross the seas
But the most frightening thing is you and me....

Black fairy tales.

"We as black people have to tell our own stories. We have to document our history. When we allow someone else to document our history the history becomes twisted and we get written out.
We get our noses blown off."

-Erykah Badu

Simplicity.

 
Why Complicate life?
 
 
                          
 
 
Missing somebody?                 ....   Call
 
Wanna meet up?                     ....  Invite 
Wanna be understood             ....  Explain
Have questions?                     .... Ask
Don't like something?              .... Say it
 
Want something?                    .... Ask for it
 
Love someone?                     .... Tell it
 
We just have one Life.
Keep it simple.
