lirik lagu omondi ochuka - requiem ii

verse 1:

my midnights come to life at noons
would you still love me if any day i could be boxed inside the wood?
i ain’t know how to pray
so i scribble another pain on my rhyne book
i write till i hear angels griot on the roof
so many poems still stuck in a body i knew
strange how time didn’t heal my wounds
scholar from my mama’s womb
warrior since grandma survived with us
am i self imprisoned
with these bars, no flashy tracks on billboard?
friends don’t stay long
when they realize you stuck, they go
this world is not our home
i wonder where we all go
when the chips are down?
but when i put pen to the paper i heal once more
how could i know
when i spill my soul to scribe and bleed in sorrow
i’m broken
faithless, horrified and terrified of the process
what’s the meaning of these deaths i talk of everyday?
my scars play orchestra
before am gone, am writing y’all this letter
i seal this verse with some holy temper
peel graphite out of pencils call me woodp-ck-r
old scars
new wounds
the clocks rewind
time after time i use pain as an instrument
i walk on broken escalators of my dna
i walk by faith
and never by sight
they gave me time
so am in the pen reversing errors with unmatched grace
and though the future goes astray
with every thought of what comes next

hook:
see, the sun is shinning it won’t rain forever
so keep your mind strong and keep yourself together
said it’ll be okay, it won’t rain forever

verse 2:
press play
rewind this record when you feeling grey
i died when the reports came
i rose rivaling battles, warrior my progeny
is like
a blot on my page
grams told me use faith as your body armor
arsonist versus blacksmith
punching braille through my blind days with a fist of fire
my body is a flesh but my mind is made of steel
iron sharpens iron, parables mixed with ironies
i can’t forget my boat rowing through rivers of death
i couldn’t forget
that they almost unplugged my oxygen
when the screen went flat, mama panicked in pain

one day
this song will be a pool of memory
i’ll never take the poet to the grave with me!
is like
everyday is a stretch
through the valley of death
i ain’t afraid, no
through the wire my jaw drop with sirens
the cramping woman’s belly
the bursting veins of the universe in grim shape
gentle stars died on my behalf
f-ck moments of glory, i shine through the dark
i’m sorry ma i had to curse
cause days i ain’t got my plus one
my poems motion, first i knew it was over
used my tragedies to paint on the canv-ss
flowers blossom, who am i
not to turn my sorrows divine?
through the journey we all fell
every metaphor i ever wrote had a seed of faith in them
for every mountain put on my feet, i stood on
when i feel heavy, i longed for a studio
too broke to even speak through my soul
bleeder’s digest
rhyme manifest
bigger than outersp-ce
lyric is god written
through time, void and sp-ce

verse 3:
this a song you play when you feeling down
worn out, when you cry
unheard
in a world full of crowds
it’s easier to loose yourself in pain
easier to raise fingers to blame
we bring ourselves down and don’t stand together
is all safe until is you in the bad weather
it’s easier to find love in strangers
the pen cries but it’s me trynna sound like a cure
in misery and loneliness, some get lost forever
maybe what doesn’t k!ll you doesn’t make you stronger
anxiety, depression, bipolar
don’t die in shame if this song brings you closer
nearer, balance holds the universe in order
nearer, so many questions i never found they answers
ma i never blamed you for how things went down with my father
gone till november
boo, i didn’t blame you when your folks didn’t approve our love
somehow, i find peace seeing roses grow in the graveyard
why?
me
dreams never die
as the world turns
i write this for my little girl in a far away land
one day
we will understand
some day
when we separate wheat from the scr-ps
death from life
time from sp-ce
i wrote this for worship
so i can remember
things i can’t control, things i can change never
this is my body in bread
break down pain, feed every soul digging my crates
just when i thought it’s over
my soul aching
dams breaking
flooded, lamenting
lost memories
dark clouds hover over my soul
i hear my soul cry
stay close to the phone, just in case my number calls
buya marach, finally
i can die with a smile

hook:
see, the sun is shinning it won’t rain forever
so keep your mind strong and keep yourself together
said it’ll be okay, it won’t rain forever
