Hook Wanna talk about my family/ Cause I know that they'll be there for me/ Like they know that I’ll be there for them/ Through the good and even bad times/ Wanna talk about my family/ All our trials and our tribulations/ All our smiles and our vindications/ Keep our family keep our family values strong/ Verse 1 Wanna talk about my family, Moms a backbone - Pops he been gone - but he’s back now! That’s the music you hear of pure joy up in the background/ My Big Bro V holding us down, My Big Bro E holding us down/ And they have families of their own, takes some real men to raise families and not to leave families alone/ My older Sister C made me tougher, prepared me for this world even when times got rougher - I felt no pain/ My Sister M see I feel your pain, family is family despite of distance – it’s the lack of persistence in communication/ Blood is blood in these veins see we're still connected; lets pass these jewels to the next generation/ And to my nephews and nieces family is family always/ Hook Verse 2 As I pass through these hallways of my lifetime, I wanna see a stronger family in this lifetime/ And it’s not about just spitting a nice rhyme, I want these words to touch every family member/ Even my cousins that I never met, how you been cuz? Where you been cuz? I understand fate has kept us apart/ But through this song I touch your soul so keep it in your heart and forever it’s there like the musings of a final start/ To my extended Fam, no blood ties - but we closer than most, dips in pools where love lies, and the haters they boast/ No time for indecision and back stabbing, no time for cheap talk only the ones that loath blabbing/ It’s sad when love is lost and residuals tragic, when hearts beat with metal veins but recipients plastic/ So when time passes and I happen to catch a short pause, just realize that family is not a lost cause/ Bridge Keep our Family; Keep our family values strong x 3 Keep Our Family Value Strong…x3

I Cared 04:19
Facebook activity Log – 2009 or is it 2010? I can’t even remember But yeah How are you doing? This one is for you… You know who you are… Verse 1 Well it started off online your man a mutual friend/ But I didn’t wanna indulge, I didn’t wanna offend/ I could see that you were a Beauty, more beauty than most could see/ If Beauty lies with Beholder, this Beauty is mad deep/ Can’t remember that first little message you sent/ But I remember we went on and on and on/ And I will be the first to admit, that I was taken by your gracious soul/ Hook Do you even care, if I’m here or gone x 2 Through the rain and through the fire/ You’re always my desire and I Cared/ And I Cared/ Verse 2 Then there was that first call, a voice of an Angel/ I couldn’t believe that I was privileged enough speak/ To reach to you, somehow I could I teach/ I wanted to seek but it’s more like I preached to you/ You and dude was having problems but I didn’t care/ I just wanted to make you smile so we could be a pair/ You told me in the night hour of 03/ That you longed for my touch the right hour to hold me/ Maybe it was Dreams speaking cause you were half asleep/ And I was half as weak, so we can do the math and keep/ 1 + 1 = 2 hearts 2 but one heart hurt, still on the mend and I was trying to defend/ Reached the wanted end but only reached the carpet bend/ Where friends catch feelings and talking about A plus dealings/ And I will be the first to admit, that I was taken by your gracious soul/ Hook Verse 3 There was that first chance meeting, my eyes steady gazed/ Your eyes met mine yes! I was amazed/ You were trying to expand your reach to other parts of this world/ I was trying to expand my reach to this girl/ I understand you had values, I grew to respect that/ Set my agenda from the start, I was trying to inject that/ I could sense you had doubts but I could sense feelings too/ Can’t ignore butterflies and chemicals reciprocal/ Life like a Hype magazine where centerfolds are pivotal/ And Baby girl I wanted to make you the centre of my world/ I probably lacked the right ingredients that made your perfect man/ I had the characteristics of the dude before last but that is the past/ You never to let it go; I am Zion’s rivers this Liquids deep, you need to let it flow/ And I will be the first to admit – that we were never meant to mix as two souls.

De La Rue 02:54
Hook We ain’t talking bout De la rue, its Giesecke and Devrient on this avenue x 4 Verse 1 Wells it 50 years on away from colonial rule but we're still being governed by colonial tools/ Monetary policies, when will set our minds free - they said being African is poverty disease/ The age of Ebola - the age of choice so I can pick between a Benz or Corolla/ Friends on my shoulders; messiah complex - bottled water soon they're gonna bottle sex- so what is next/ No flex zone - music's digressed no wonder we're so vexed homes/ In old age homes, when will the cancer catch up from minutes these cellphones/ We already living this, we're not living bliss, so heaven call - Angels fall that I never missed / These are the rantings of a columnist/ Hook Verse 2 Zambia we're Fifty years young, let us groom our land/ We can do so much - with both feet and hands/ Tell our leaders they needs kulibe va chikonko/ kulibe vo kudya, tiza liza ma mpoto/ Yes indeed the land is rich where resources lie/ So take the land and grow your dreams let resources lie/ Child of the motherland, it’s your birth right/ Abuse the environment, destroy the Earth right? Being a Black man is not a curse right? It’s a mental struggle we fight get out the Trap! So what is Rap - it’s an Expressive form - made to feel like an outsider - so what’s the norm? These are the rantings of a columnist/ Hook x 8

Fly Away 03:38
Verse 1 Twas about 07 me and Pope, totally Zoned out music our hope/ Al Kani Introduced us to the homie Dope - We made the Zone Fam - Phonies couldn't cope/ Then we met Roxa - they said he was a boxer - they brought Bars, like Foreign direct cars, who wanted a masterpiece - we wanted to paint ours/ Verbal would Battle lists - he burnt scripts like an Arsonist/ Thugga the Wiz Kid Lsk wasn't ready for em - these solo cats - burn rubbers like its pirellis on em/ The Voltron Team - they wanna take mo shots but those Glean, right off the side of my head/ They wanna kill Hip Hop but it ain't Dead/ Hook Me and the Homies we still a Team/ Since 2010 yo we shared a dream/ So we can smile today/ We built some paper planes so we could Fly Away/ Me and the Homies we still a Team/ Since 2010 Yo we shared a dream/ So we can smile today/ Believe in yourself you can Fly Away/ (Just Believe you’ll Fly Away) Verse 2 2010 we made that full script, Teck-Zilla the Beast with Beats Ripped/ Africa was watching with Shaka Zulu On Em but all we really wanted was to chuck a dokkie on em/ 30million viewers in 2011, award shows, Business Effex, it must have been heaven/ My brothers handled it well, cause even stones shine and past beefs we would never dwell/ Alky went the solo route and I became the Manager, it’s still Fam and I would never take advantage of/ Cameras flash, we wanted that money fast - but it takes more than cash to double that honey's glass/ It’s still an open chapter, the Book of Zone - live happily ever after/ It’s still SDR - they battling open wounds from the pesky bars/ Hook
