It was two thousand and nine, it was two thousand and time two thousand reasons why I needed a new album of mine sick and tired to death, of songs I'd come to hate, my show was of out of date, I needed to create So I made me a plan, and sold it to my clan, I brought in John Allan and Sandra the Sapient one The human condition, a worthy preposition, For Wawesh Mjanja, himself a contradiction A potent combination, we worked with dedication So clear in our intention, World Wide domination The album cover was art, I thank you pointblank for that The Drummer Queen was born, Muthoni was Reborn Mikono Kwenye Hewa, the single was released The video was a beast, the hype was much increased, MTV Nomination, the valued validation The perfect compensation, Oh what a celebration,( But behind the scene, here's the behind the scenes, I needed more help than the label could offer I needed more sales, for my partners to prosper, I needed more strength, for my demons to conquer Have you ever tried and failed at trying to be you Not knowing how to do, not having any clue? And all my imperfection, on public display, Dealing with my rejection, like every day How many times I cried, how times I tried, To take it all in stride, to keep it all inside To enjoy the ride, all pride aside, To think big, think bold, think long, think wide,( I was the outside, looking into the box Looking for upside, a fucking paradox I remember hoping that the panic would subside, Sailing through all my fears praying I don't capsize Looking back I didn't know how it would break me, Falling to my lowest low, how it would shake me, What it takes to grow, how to grow is slow, And to reap is to sow, how to have is to forego Looking back I see how it has made me Looking back I see now, it has changed me, And I don't regret and I won't forget, lessons that I learned, Nyokso I'm forever in your debt,Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
