I was born into a Kenyan home and I'm
constantly reminded that some kitchen
utensils are older than me

We teach our boys to hunt... and our girls to pray. Neither fully aware of their role in this destructive game.

I'm not the Thank God is Friday type,
I'm the Thank God am a live today type.

I didn't come into this world willingly,
I was PUSHED.

Sometimes, you tell someone never to call you again and then the phone rings and you hope it’s them. Its the most twisted logic of all time.

See, once in a while, when I find a pattern in someone's heart that matches my beat,
I become a hunter.
But my hands are too empty for me to say I gather.
And cupid has this thing of pointing me to girls who are already taken, girls I call by name while another man calls them mine.
I'm still searching for a girl who carries the whole solar energy in her eyes.
Then in my life, I will fear God, and the fact that one day she will stare at me too much, I will burn.

I’m so happy I grew up in a time where we played hide and seek and played on the street with friends rather than playing on an iPad all day

Every creative is unique

Two familiar strangers,
Walking peacefully towards danger,
Lost in thought hoping to find themselves at a common point,
Maybe their local joint,
Light joints in the dark,
Embrace their similar differences,
Have each others back,
Strengthen their weaknesses every day of the week,
When in a mess or feeling sick,
Can you sense what they have in common?
Their headphones are on and they're playing my single,
They look so engaged...
