01
It Ends With Me
I am fighting battles my parents couldn’t win / Tell me again why I am trying to mend bonds I didn’t break
→02What Have You Done?
We all have our own demons, that’s life / You made your bed, now, sleep on it
→03All On Me
Hi mum, / You raised me well, all the bad about me, it’s all on me
→04Sad Reality
The sad reality is; / You were at war with yourself
→05I Choose Me
The world stood still when I said no for the first time, said the ‘yes’ man / I got tired of being everything to everyone, no wonder I never gain weight
→06Greatness
You told me it was impossible, you defined your limits / I achieved greatness, I guess I defied mine
→07I Wish The World Was Better
You reached out your hand but they folded theirs / You needed help, they failed to dial triple 9
→08Suicide Note
These are my last words to you / I have always felt imprisoned by the words that were said to me growing up
→09The Ex
Your anger issues came like a hurricane, hi Katrina / I’ve always pictured this going a different direction, I’m such a dreamer
→10The Black Sheep
I am what I am for a reason / They overlook my purpose, but I’m here for a season
→11Karma
I caught her in bed with a stranger / She was so angry I had to apologise
→12Consider Africa
The world spoke of strong nations; they left Africa out / They made decisions about Africa but left Africans out
