WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE





Courtesy- Me.
It was not right
It just wasn’t right
The way you pushed me
You always had me with my back against the wall
My heart in my mouth
And my knees weak
But with nowhere to escape
I had to let it mould me
I had to let it keep me going
They said, what doesn’t break you makes you stronger
So I had to let it feel good
Whenever my back hit the wall
I became a lot less spineless.

But now I have to put up a fight
Or be put to flight
You made a beautiful vessel out of me
So why  are you hell bent on destroying me?
There was always a purpose to your push
But now, my head is hurting
My nose is bleeding
And my heart is bursting
It is just enough!
Let me walk away with my dignity
Memories of what used to be
But you push harder
No, you shove harder.

Now that push has come to shove
I will have to push back
Maybe brawl in the dirt
Just to show you what you've made of me
Who knows what will happen?
They say my scars are scary
I never believed in an eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Yes, one broken heart for another
But I will never be the same
My substance, scattered in the sea
Yet I will rise with the waves
And watch you take that last breathe
As we sink together.
-R. Brown

JOB NO DEY BY KWAW LYRICS

Image
This is a new banger from BDRZ records and it is also from the artiste Kwaw Lyricx. Kwaw Lyricx is saying JOB NO DEY! Do you agree with him? 'Cos after all this struggle to pass through this educational system, not being able to get a job can be quite stressful. He said a lot. But I have this to add. If you are going to wait for the government to get you a job, then you might be staying unemployed for a long while. Start taking that course you did in entrepreneurship seriously. Because if there is no JOB, you can create jobs! Find your talent, hone it and start cashing in on it. And that is one thing I like about this artiste. Track after track, I see growth after growth. Don't wait till he explodes before you support him. We have to join him on his journey and help make him a better artiste. He is also from Taadi so you know right? Taadi y3 w) adze a oye! You can get to listen to the track  here . Make sure to follow him on twitter he re . And this  wil

MONDAY MOTIVATION

Image
I could just leave this there and not say anything more but I am a talker so allow me... There is someone in your life who is in there because she/he(referred as she from henceforth) finds you intriguing. She is curious about you and wants to know more. She is dedicated and will call you everyday to talk to you just to try and figure you out. She cares or so you think. She comes across like a true friend but once she gets to find out you are not all that, the magic just shrivels and dies. But you thought she was a friend. No, she wasn't. Because she wants to have a taste of your magic, queerness and uniqueness, she will do all she can; call you, text you, be there for you... But when she realises that like every other human being, you have your imperfections, you are no longer attractive. She thinks, "Is that all there is to him?", just because she came with her own expectations. She expected a certain depth and you ended up being too shallow for her. Do

LONGER THAN A SHORT STORY: SHE THINKS SHE STANDS

Image
“Alfie! Alfie!! Alfie!!!” She rushed downstairs so excitedly that her breasts flapped up and down. It was worsened by the fact that she forgot to put on a brazzier. “Did you see what she put on the group page?” She knocked excitedly on his door. The lock turned twice slowly. “Bee, why are you so excited this early morning” He rubbed his eyes when he finally opened the door. She hugged him as was usually their custom. “You stink. Take a shower.” She wrinkled her nose at him. “Yea, your hair also stinks. Take it down.” He dared her with his eyes. Being a head taller than his bestfriend, he always had to bear the brunt of her smelly hair. “I just fixed this one week ago, bruh. Suck it up.” Her eyes were scathing then they suddenly lighted up as they always did when she had something interesting to say, "Have you seen what she put on the bro’s and those page?" His lips cocked up slightly. The name of that page always made him perk up a little. He had come up wi
