moses kabuswe - moses jr. lyrics

verse 1

my name is oleander and i was born in december
growing up as a kid i only had a brother
parental figures i had my father and my mother
my father was scarce and the latter was present
i was content with my mom, her presence the essence
classism is the bane of my existence
to kids, all that matters is love
to adults, well it’s kinda showing love through stuff
following the fallacy of fixation on, material happiness
taking on the pain, pleasing the community, life was a mess
to fit in at the expense of your own kids
stepping on your purpose and forgetting your whole being
my brother and my mother were all that mattered to me
there was a morning when birds sang in our home
and for dessert, they served us beautiful songs
then it started raining and it poured for long
as the drops did, hit the metal sheets
mom started singing, tempo was my heartbeat
as i was looking around i thought i saw something
without confirming i found myself yelling snake!
for goodness’ sake
we ran out in the rain
my mom went back to see if it was a snake
then she came back but she had a wig in her hand
looking at me she said olly aren’t you the man
a priceless moment for me was just enough
but for my family, it had to be more than that
looking for a better life at the cost of me
a stranger to misfortunes of my family you see
cause to me a family is a fortune
it’s a fortune
chorus

not everything that shakes is an earthquake
not everyone that loves me will leave me
how do you keep the ones that stay
i’m looking to find me another place
how do you live a life that you know you don’t deserve
how do you thank the people you know you can’t repay
is living the only way x5

verse 2

so they got up and left and now i’m left alone
what am i supposed to do next huh?
i went to live with my grandma i became her son
i’ll never call it trauma, if life is a race the only choice is to run
and death is the finish line

so it happened that i ended up at a school for orphans
as if not enough, he blessed me, added spice to it
got me a new family, a new family of newlyweds
they just got married, now parents of teenagers
the newest member of my heart is what i called love
new family, new home, different views all that
every single beautiful story has a punchline
and everything in life has a climax
a land of milk and honey has a really high price
all the needs i had longed for as a child
there was no need to long for them for a while
surreptitious paralyzing guilt
made me ask a bunch of questions like
will this family be better off without me in it?
so many kids are better did it have to be me?
how can i give back, what if i fail at everything?

somebody asked me how i deal with it
well this is how this is my release

chorus
