Hey Wonderful Steemians....
Just like like I promised in my previous introductory post here about posting fresh and interesting contents. Well, it's good to see I'm fulfilling them now coz I will like you to check out this beautiful write-up about an average African Soul, the struggles, politics and motivation for a better future 🔮..
I hope you enjoy it

Title : **An African Soul
**
image
Intro:
I didn't choose this road
Where the people are nice but the killings are cold
Where the future is bright but the youths are sold
To this present hustle and we forgot our goal
Where can I go
I'm an African Soul.....

Verse:

This isn't just a pack of words
It's a feeling of a boy feeling the curse
and blessings of this land being sucked in turns
from leaders thinking bout themselves the more
Leaving the citizens stucked
In choosing either the bad or the worse
Look at our mess.. How deep we fall
While we post Small... Big God
No, I'm not shooting shots
Look at how far we've come
From a nation with prospects
To the least on the markets
While old people labour with matchets
in suffering, planting seeds in forests
Looking up to heaven for help

Hook:

I'm going to achieve these dreams
I'm going to be exceedingly rich
We're all going to be alright
We always hoping in God's might*

Verse 2

Hey hey
Perhaps it looks like I'm writing deep emotional sad quotes
Day by day
Think bout people still try a find their purpose
Lives revolving around meager pays
Will they ever get to live their fantasies? Who knows?
It's kinda like twisted pain
Been an African that ain't yet a ghost
Tho life isn't Sugarcane
Not always sweet like a bottle of coke
Y'all need to stay awake
Take up your coats
It's time to upgrade
To own these things in our hopes
Until it all get better
And better and better
We shouldn't stop hoping
or living
or dreaming
of a better country we'll be residing

Hook:
I'm going to achieve these dreams
I'm going to be exceedingly rich
We're all going to be alright
We always hoping in God's might
