Sunset

Remember, the day the sunset
It didn't only set on that horizon
It set on us two
Always knew Joburg was a thief
Lost no love when i lost everything
Eager to move on with your life 
Couldn't hold back a kick
I am not squirming

Life goes on 
Out on these streets 
Always been walking alone
Everything else was an illusion
Only this truth is my redeemer 
My head is still held high
If I fail it wont be the fall
Already hit the ground
The day the sun set
and so did hope for tomorrow

Free (Modderbee)

Tell my mother I am in Modderbee 
In case she doesn’t find me at Thema
I have been holding on to these bars 
Yearning for my freedom 
Hoping another day I see better days
Lurking through the corner of this prison cell 

There is a price for freedom 
I paid the warder,  there is nothing left 
This prison cell, this heart 
These words, even these echos
Bellows the emptiness of this place 

Looked out for footsteps, heard none 
Listened to the splendour of the outer world 
Saw nothing but the emptiness 
So if she never makes it 
Tell her, I am free.

It is ok.
