2022? ||Change Can Be You》》By Bandile

I heard them say we're a few steps away from twenty twenty -two
Open your mind and close your eyes, you'll see, none of that is true
I wanna see more food on my brothers' plate
I wanna show people that which they turn a blind eye on
Now come to think of twenty twenty-two
A trending statement where we envision our country with paved roads and street lights
Billboards and city lights
Written "Welcome to Swaziland "
The world of the free
Where 70% of the youth is null and void
Those who have degrees are unemployed
Mmmm...come to think of it,
We're tricked to believe our minds will be free
That our kids will be
What they wanna be,
When my sisters hide that which make em beautiful
We try so hard to fit in
Try so hard to belong in a world where we are nomads
Imprisoning ourselves is a norm
Unlike Cassper, we can't fill up our own domes
We're none more than a youth brainwashed with e-tolls
We can't be the kings of our own jungles
Instead we choose to be wolves
No fangs, but we eat (it) wolves
We eat words and spit lava
Victims of early pregnancies and young fathers
Twisted lovers
Plus
We don't see the need of Lovers
Plus
I don't care even if my poems sound the same
I stapled the caution sign on fame
Cause we're told life is just a game
The one who scores the high number of slags and bitches
Is the coolest and can bring us into stitches
But naaah, cool never rhymes with riches
And riches will never rhyme with sense
Because riches make us believe the mind is nothing but a combination of tiny cells
So we buy whatever the internet sells
Lock ourselves
In society's shelves
In a nutshell
We're nut shells
Why not share this?
Why not speak up
Why not pick up
The call of change
And change rhymes with chance
So use this chance you have to bring change
And stop being glued on that bench
Faith is a badge
Wear it
You gotta wear it
Run and never get weary
