Each day
Things are getting tougher each day.
We suffer to access what we own
by working tirelessly with less gain
it's like begging for survival in our home.
My country is dying each day.
'Been hopeful for a change but all seemed vain
alas! we got the ''change'' we wanted, now we wish it never came.
We all cruise each day.
making jokes from the shege seen per day
oh! how it has prevented some from depression
as it reveals 'you're not alone in this pressure'
people japa each day
seeking greener pastures far away
they believe their future is secure in a white man's space
caring to do anything as long as it pays.
Asides dealing with racism and slavery,
it could be a great deal of opportunity
I feel like a loser each day.
trying to make waves in all that comes my way
figured I don't have time to choose
cos in my country, you have to put all you have to use
there really is no room for shyness and laziness
as nothing is now based on merit but by skills, affluence and influence.
Each day has its own story
A 24-hour reality movie
In a particular day, a difference will come
when the long awaited dream occurs.
They say Rome wasn't built in a day
so we work towards a better place each day
