Afro-baby

I looked in her eyes and I got lost

Two roads

Left or right

Being pulled into her afro-beat

Oh afro-baby

The way you move makes me

Want to beat your drums

Beat my drums

Heartbeating faster and faster



Touch me with your

Subtle look,

Your subtle whip of the hair

And the daze sweeps over me

As if your afro-soul

Was stroking my inner thigh

Oh Afro-baby

The way you move makes me

Want to beat your drums

Beat my drums



I look at you like you want to be loved

You look right pass me

Walk right into me

Scared to notice me

Asking me to not notice you,

As if your afro-hair

Is hard to ignore

Oh Afro-baby

The way you move makes me

Want to be beat your drums

Beat my drums.



Let me move with you

Hold your waist and feel you rotate

Pull you closer

And feel you gyrate

Can you feel my hands?

Made from authentic black skin

A real woman

Oh Afro-baby

Let me be your soul

The beat you dance to

The movement that you want

The only passion that you know

Oh Afro-baby

Let me blow your mind,

Dance to my afro-beat

As I run my fingers through your afro-hair

Teaching you about my afrocentricity

Arch your back

And let me feel your afro-soul.

I named her

I named her soul
She understands my rhythm
The spaces inbetween the breath I take
Her words reach deep into me
She can never understand what she means to me
I close my eyes and I taste her brown sugar
Sweet like caramel, I get high off her

I named her Jazz
Cause her bass makes my pulse race
Slowly she would move
Going round and round
Making me dizzy with intoxication
Of my pure desire
To hold her close and
Take off her clothes
Letting her Blues run all over me

I named her hip hop
Cause she stands for a struggle
Battling her way through enemy lines
Standing for what she believes in
Getting lost in the fog
Chasing that fading light
Screaming out I ain't dead
Pounding her fist hard on her chest
Just to prove a point
Then raising it up in the air
Just so you know she was here

I named her music
25 years and we're still together
Our thighs still intertwined
Her touch everyday feels brand new
My thoughts she can always read
My rhythm she never loses
Keeping up with my pace
Making my heart race
Giving me goose pimples
Each time we touch
Knowing the right places
Just to make me feel love
She is mine and
I am hers

Floating

This feels like I've fallen in love
Or falling in love
I've been lifted
Floating in mid-air
Hoping to never come down
Begging to come down
I'm feeling everything from love
To lust, lust to anger, love

Silently begging you to hold me
Openly forgetting my words
Remembering their useless worth
Your heart cannot be mine
It still belongs to another
An undeserving other
Pink lips
I've cried for you a million times
Craved your hand on my heart
Your soul to understand mine
Your hands to know me

I've fallen for your spirit
Laced hands
Fingers intertwined
Conversation for hours
My mind in yours
Maybe this is all we are
Maybe

I Could Love Her

I remember when I first met her
I couldn't stop looking at her
Trying to flirt with my eyes
My mind, my body
She didn't seem interested
So I let it slide
Conversation got deeper
Love, what's that? She wasn't a believer
Shook hands said goodbye
It was lovely to meet ya
Couple months later
Saw her again in the park
Talking about my afrocentricity
Well just in case people didn't notice I was dark
My brown skin is amazing
I'm trying hard to impress her
But she doesn't even notice me
Girlfriends of the past haunt her
Love is not meant for her
A tear rolled down my eye when she said this
The saddest story I have ever heard
Now I stand here
My next purpose to prove that she deserves this
Let her inhibitions go
See what I see
And then you will know
Maybe if you let me, I could love you
See what I see
Beauty beyond words
A mind I'm willing to explore
Reaching the deepest pores of your soul
Your body I absolutely adore
Open up your heart let me show you what you're missing
I promise my touch will make you explode
My conversation will blow your mind
I'll be the best you never had
The best you'll ever have
I can't promise we'll be perfect
Cause in this life nothing's picture perfect
But I promise it'll be worth it
So let me hold your had and guide you through it.

Blackmagic

I'm all about promoting Nigerian music these days, well trying to share what I think is beautiful music with rhythm, from everything old and new.

Blackmagic is the first for me today, I first heard about him through www.bellanaija.com. I did a little bit of research on him, and I found a sound that wasn't harsh, but soft smooth jazz hinted with a bit of Afronicity. It's something that is different from the auto tunes, the Wizkids and Yung6ixs that we're getting these days.

Below is his video, watch it, enjoy it and explore him.

Death is Terrible

Death is terrible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Gev0yH3HA

That song brings into me a whale of emotions when I listen to it, thanks to my dear friend Joseph who introduced me to it. It's a beautifully dark song.

In the early hours yesterday, one of my closest friends lost his best friend in a tragic car crash in which my friend was involved. He's in a different country so all his friends are here but he now has family with him. We are grateful that he is alive, but his bestfriend died. I always say the Lord takes and he gives and only he knows why, but for everything that happens there is a reason and we will eventually find out.

My heart goes out to him, he is such a beautiful person and for this to happen to him, it breaks my heart and I cry to him.

When these things happen, it makes us think, we begin to remember those we have lost, in my case my father and a flood of emotions come rushing back in. I begin to remember that I should not and never forget things that I have and to appreciate those around me in everywhere possible way. It reminds us to appreciate life, not to take everything for granted and to most of all live life and don't forget to live it. We get caught up in the little things that it's not until something so tragic reminds us of what we are missing in our hearts.

I try to live life, I try to be the best that I can be when I can, I want to leave a legacy when I'm gone...because I want people to remember me and never forget my name.
