Chorus _______ She never was chasing me I was chasing she It was not quite as it seemed Hearts will always lead it's all now, just a dream like we once were Verse 1 ________ I'm asking for better days in her eyes, A future when she smiles like currency I fell for her, a couple of times/ I'm asking to heal her knees if she dare touch the ground, I'm asking to move, Let's hope that her heart makes a better sound/ cause her pain was soundless Hills never move so I climbed a mountain, Meet me in the maize next to the fountain/ And let every coin resemble justice, poetry is not for hardships, pencils and pens are not for marking being stationery is the hardest, Keep it moving, said the marksman/ Analyze the ground for strokes of broomsticks, patterns of charm and missing footprints/ Twisting her arm, touching her heart, let it rhyme in my favour, Don't forget to dance, they won't mind if we naked/ Express your freedom, next to the trees and the papers, forget the sketchpads and the staplers, Hope you got the right hand, and he's got the right foundation, Cause he won't appreciate your rose if I leave with the pavement/ Chorus ________ She never was chasing me I was chasing she It was not quite as it seemed Hearts will always lead it's all now, just a dream like we once were Verse 2 ________ I remember when I cried, Tears like raindrops when they fell down, Don't forget that all love takes time, So take yours, don't take mine, Don't take mine, Don't you remember when I tried, To hold you back from all your passed lives, And now our time is up, It's only him you trust, No room for me, no room for we, Just you and him, Your type of us... Chorus ________ She never was chasing me I was chasing she not quite as it seemed Hearts will always lead it's all now, just a dream like we once were

Found Myself 03:08
Verse1 _______ I don't need to find myself, I found the tune, now I dance for free, I bask for sport and I live for he/ 2 0 1 6 I found my voice, I sang to mend my bones, cannibal ghosts ate from my shoulder to my swollen feet/ vagabond, a hallway heart who might bite the dust, journeys are all seemingly steep if you not finding me 'trust' and a comfortable soul where you heels may heel/ I'm wanting to touch to know if your hands still may feel, blood still find ways to hearts to ask if they, still may beat/ so I still maybe, a hesitant act, as long as we still may be/ I've homed my heart, to always know where my home will always be. Chorus _______ I found, I've found myself And fell in love x2 Baby that's happened Verse 2 ________ 2 0 17, I lost my queen, but it still reigns on me/ puddles eating my feet, I'm strapping my boots, balance my knee, I'm begging for peace, break me a off, some groove and some of that funking at least/ verse from the book, she passed but I was needing a hymn, the father, the son... in my pops I believed/ a stone gathering moss, family of ferns and some weed/ stern when he leads, he earns and bleeds, dough from the hands, self made so when he needs he needs/ nguMabizela oqondile, nom'umhlabu bogile, idlozi lipokile, izangoma zishonile, impilo siyifostile, sibong'impil'ekhon'emhlabeni phila yakho bra yam, ngoba vele angaz nibangen Chorus _______ I found, I've found myself And fell in love x2 Baby that's happened

Verse1 _______ Kneel first you closer to God when you do so, death toll to your back skin if you do so/ fuck it that's the usual suspect, black skin suspect, always, fuck it I'm upset, I'm upset.../ black beautiful, pack melanin nothing better than black, Zulu is my name but Zulu is your God, nothing better than that/ we God like, if we aren't, gene pools will attest/ so praise black, it mattered before we even said so, praise space we also exist to occupy that/ kings we've been that, thrones we've been that, mankind been black, before atom (Adam) on black soil and Eve black/ this is the primordial truth from a slippery slope, maybe on slippery soap, while eating/ playing hangmen with fake names, what's the meaning, black bodies, are the strange fruit that are neck swimming/ Chorus _______ Black is beautiful (Sometimes Sometimes) Kings and Queens prevail (For a long time, long time) Verse 2 _______ We taking action, Ready your blackness, your black skin, Repulsion from daytime Let your black rise like dark night Cherish night, this black skin, these black sins, This melanin, Baby it's alright, Not taking backseats, Like bus trips, Picking cotton from these black sheep Ready your African, your Khoisan, your Zulu man, Unapologetic African, Stand in African like darker shades, Forgotten names, Like your continent, Your confidence, Now we do for self like Sebukwe, Take the land, take a stand Endure the pain like stricken backs When we were still slaves, field slaves, And Christian, But anyway, anyway... Chorus _______ Black is beautiful (Sometimes Sometimes) Kings and Queens prevail (For a long time, long time)

about

As a person I have lived and experience life, just like any other person. My unique difference is that I'm telling our story through an artists perspective. I'm introspecting on our lives, our journey and our possible truth. This EP is an extension of our collective journey's as nomads. That is why it is called INTROSPECTIVE.

The essence of art is for it to allow for freedom. The remarkability of music stems from the deepest sense of self.

My name is SOAW, it stands for Socially Awkward and that is my deepest sense of self. I create from within, from my awkward, that is my essence.
