I miss the beauties, I grew up with, the ones we ploughed and planted seeds of trust and loyalty I miss my drawing ship, bought cheer to my life and saved me a great deal during the times Departure Though all is gave, there still remains memories of you in my heart and always on my mind. I wrote a song to commemorate our bond, the happy moments we shared together, the ambitions and the strength you showed during the stormy weather. Parting is such a great sorrow that no words can heal, no tears can heal, no mind can wipe away The sorrow that no fire can consume. The sorrow that took you away from me. You parted for the Lord yonder and I will always remember you pal, with hope that are day we’ll meet. We’ll be together again.

She was beautiful, no words could describe her beauty. She would inspire the greatest rappers to sing. I feared loosing the queen, the greatest miracle that ever happened to me. I had so much to tell. What I held inside was inexpressible to me. So much was said about her but I wouldn’t care. I wouldn’t care about the envious and the jealous But for my one sweet dream, the one with the heart of a millionaire. Donald Sumba Love Love is never too late, for those willing to try Love is the treasure no one can steal from us Love is the ‘messiah’ which saves the day Donald Sumba I’m Suffering I have feelings for you, the strange power which has swept me off my feet The feelings which wait let me go. The strong feeling which has tied me up and thrown me deep. . I have love for you, Love which hurts. I’d rather suffer than let you slip. Donald Sumba She She hid, that I get her But my heart wouldn’t rest till I found her She was all I wanted for Love. Donald Sumba For My Love I would do whatever it takes to make it up to you honey. I will do anything to make you happy, this is my promise. I am the luckiest man alive, I know and this time, I want to be true. I want to be a hero, a prince of love, all you want me to be. I do care about you and for this reason. I will always be there for good and for worse, faithfulness and passionate. Donald Sumba For Us I have tried to forget you. I have tried to rub you off my mind, but you couldn’t. Just go. I realized I was a fool, torn and cold. Hypnotized by love. Tell me my idol, can we still play with the ball. Can we still dance till damn. I am repressed for being lost, our truth was never told Donald Sumba A Girl Next Door We come from the same place, but we had different tastes and likes. We come from back streets, behind one clinic when treated our souls. I hated myself but I admitted her I admired her hit, of bringing down the sun. We build our bounds, we made our sorrows and joys We built our different worlds but we were best of friends Donald Sumba Monument I wait stop calling you if I want stop thinking about you I wait stop craving of your love Heartbeats wreaked me. Loveliness suffocated me, But love stole me I am a wounded tiger, looking for happiness The place that comes from a special someone. Donald Sumba Cold My heart is void, hungry for a cause With a special meaning There is state of loneliness and the cold hurts There is no one to consolidate, there is no one for the moments I am open and wide, speaking from the bottom in search of a guide. David Sumba. My Rainbow My Mama You shine bright like the morning star You shine on my side, with love you inspire The most hardworking being, who tends a reprised giant? Courageous in your ways, with beauty inside Mama I will, I was there to push your shoes To keep you safe, and to warm your room. Donald Sumba Living Waters I wake up in the midst of the night but there was no one to hold on to. I woke up in pain, but there was one one to do away the pain . I woke up in dismay, but there was no one no one to turn on to the right. I cry in the arms of love I cry for peasce and hope, and lifes solutions base the trouble of my heart Oh living water. Be my angel of hope, I trust in the everlasting rock Be the soul guard of my life, keep me safe from harm Be the shoulder I can lean on, my tower and my fortress. Donald Sumba In the Army I surrender all in the arms of love The arms of protection, In the arms of salvation where the foundation of life springs. Life is a mystery, with struggles and challenges we encounter everyday. Things get tough and even worse at times He’s promised a way. The assurance is enough for the weakness spirits to give hope to those in jail. To comfort souls that wail, and to light a ray. Donald Sumba Have You ever been to the Ghetto Have ever been to the ghetto, where tears of oppression flow. A family of ten survives on a tin of maize. We walk in squads for protection and strenghth cursing Babylon for the injustice and discrimination. Have you ever been to the ghetto, where love springs. Though life is challenging, we find it fun, the hardcores of the streets. To our home of optimism and hope, where great heroes were born. Donald Sumba Dying for Justice The streets are bleeding. Jealousy and oppression dominates. The poor are slain. There’s no justice in our world, where gloom is painted, women and children cry. Soldiers are on the battle field. They are fighting for freedom, freedom of their own. Freedom of their colour,freedom of their age, freedom of their culture, freedom of their land. Black is beautiful I know but we are scorned. There is pain in the land as we bury heroes, the prisoners of revolution. We demand a new nation, free of discrimination for we are all equal before the master, the creator of the universe. So why kill the oppressed innocent. Donald Sumba Life Life is a struggle. The determination and faith we have, with hope of a breakthrough. Life is what you’ll make of it. There’s a voice calling, the voice of a slave Crushed with life’s sorrows. Life is not a safe haven for the poor Who learn from life’s lessons, to be brave We hustle to eat surviving on half a dollar We are sipped in the straw. But we’ve learnt to be strong. Donald Sumba After The Math We struggle to overcome the challenges of life, We struggle e everyday with hope of succeeding. We rise and we sometimes fall. We are not perfect in all our ways. Yesterday a child was born, today he crawls and that’s so with life. The little bits makes it. As you transcend build your foundation on a solid. Hope for the best in whatever you do. Amid the trails and tribulations of life. I will raise my voice and sing songs of Psalms. I am strong on your arms. I know I can stand the storm. Though I have no control over then. People kill for fun, others steal to win, and he judges from sin. To cast for the eternal blaze, to burn. Be good and you will be avenged. Be good to people, for you will need them for support. Seek the fruits of the spirit. Seek for the free things in life, which money can’t buy. Donald Sumba. Good Lord What should I give you my creator I’m thankful for life’s sorrows and joys, for the opportunities and discouragements. Thank you for being my best friend, my inspiration, my strength, my hope and for the compassion. Thank you for being good to us and for the promises of abiding at all times. Donald Sumba It’s Gonna Be Alright I play my own guitar admiring the tune I let the words flow from within I sing hope for yesterday was gloom It’s gonna be alright x2 with me I’ve seen so much suffering kids dejected Greed entangles our society, our ambitions are frustrated. It’s gonna be alright x2 with me I have failed more than once in my pursuit But I am still strong, for there’s a rescue I will escape from prison I know and we’ll have to discuss the issues It’s gonna be alright x2 with me Only if I still hold on. Donald Sumba Tired I left my coat to run for my safety I swam in mud for life was a bore You pretend to be good, sweet in your words But you are a hypocrite You dress to draw, you struggle and busy in your compound You accuse me falsely, you are proud for you say it beautifully But the bottom line is, I run because I am scared of you. The weak have problems, the strong have Solutions I was told, now you want To take me and divide my share but you wait Donald Sumba God Bless I sometimes wonder what my purpose on earth is The world turns around fast, but I haven’t tasted the chance I wake up one morning with a different story I locked in to my mothers eyes and I smile for she is always been there for me She made me and held me tight in her arms May God bless the hands that held me May God bless the womb that conceived me May God bless the tree that bore me Donald Sumba Vexed We ate salads and the next day we ate grains Mr.Govt. tell me, why is there much suffering of our people? The city mourns, our village drowned in poverty and misery Our children and women are abused Gloom is painted on the streets You rain terror I am an embassy for my people and they asked me to seduce you to turn your ears on their plea For we’ll be destroyed before the end of our days Donald Sumba Changing For Better When will I walk out For prison has been my home for long When will I see the light For I’ve been in tunnel with the door When should I change my position For I’m cut and torn When will you change the system Donald Sumba TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY Soaked in sorrow, I live a life full of money Unknown tomorrow, I wonder on my way But don’t worry tomorrow is another day I know I’m a failure but I would like to try Work things out. My mind is set for success I jump on to the top of the frying pan to get fried I want to burn in excess To devour the dragon for payback is the blessing I am smart at war, so tell me life is a testing Ready lam set for the jungle to prove, my skills to cry over for resting, Donald Sumba FABULOUS HUNGER I am poor and weak, vanity is my blessing I am crushed and depressed, despaired by the circumstances They say I’m a flower, I assume I’m a mouse, Lonely and cold frozen at home I’m a burden to the society, they wait say but I know A writer, a musician may be an artist I am but I’m know Forlorn and claim, I’m depressed with no one to blame Sorrowful and disappeared, I’m discouraged every time at rains Cursed is the day that I was born I stammer, sometimes I’m numb Victimized and terrorized by the system I’m affected deeply I pity my mother and appreciate her for her Struggle and wished daddy would stick by and share the hustle I cry out of pain perplexed by the situation I fight and loose with my tactics Oh poor me; my spirit is weakened I open my mouth to sing the songs I’m in search of freedom, the sweet freedom Donald Sumba Streak I am a cold nigga, full of wonder just like Moses I but loose when I’m tired up to glow like the roses I bounced like the bowler when I’m tossed I am haunted by the sweet blood Always on the chase, hunting for bread The street is my home where I was born I am an actor of the school, series , live and real we bring Trained by the hood school, I spit above the rim and flows with my expensive bling Donald Sumba
