#Pieoneers  Written by Bame Hadasha Looking at her laid there peacefully Got tears streaming down my cheeks I took another look at her but this time carefully Remembering how she fought the good fight A journey of radiotherapy cut short by a mastectomy Despite being a slave to all these tumours.. Having to shave her head bald and put up with all the rumours She bravely fought the immortal cells for years And yes, the first time I discovered that these carcinogens took residence in her bloodstream My heart pounded with fear and nothing seemed clear Realizing that her time was near Got me overwhelmed with resignation and resentment The feeling got me numb, nerve impairment I hope you understand why I get a sore sight When these lads ignite a cigarette and act like it’s so right Watching as their innocence get corrupted When they whistle out the smoke out of their fragile lips Living cadavers that have death at their finger tips Subco...

PC: PavillionMedia #Pieoneers Warzone 8 – Quadros (Main Event - Title Match) 09 September 2017 @MainWash (Gaborone) (Lyrics extracted from 'ThirtySix Chambers' break down video on Facebook, written by both Quaint and L) Quaint – The Faceless Artist (Round 1) His battle with Chro finally dropped So you actually been to South Africa, Wow! You International rap star you! With your world conquering hot schemes Bro, so you're globetrotting in Jozi When Blain went all the way to... Wait that's a sore topic I'm sorry So it's L versus Quaint, well let's settle the difference! The energy that I channel is different The true identity of who I'm meant to be would baffle a Christian And the proof record of my true methods is in a Vatican vault as a threat to the catholic system But your performance? On and off, I guess the champ is a flip switch I came to push this kid off the top like a...

In This Age It Has Become A Norm To Quickly Point Fingers At The Government Whenever A Certain Sector Is Mediocre. Most Of What We Do Was Inherited From Our Predecessors,Only The Methodologies And Ideologies Got Reinvented To Suit Today's World Setup.It Is Evident That Our Hunger For Greatness Which Navigates Us To Tap On Our Infinite Potential Is Dead.We Have Substituted The Quest For Greatness With Taking Snapshots Of Celebs Awkward Moments To Make A Meme Out Of It.Millenials No Longer Care About Transcending Limitations To Craft Things Which Will Etch Our Generation In The History Journals. (OK Enough With Politics). Four Years Ago When Big Sean's "Control" Revived The Competitive Urge Of MC's All Across The Globe, Who Could Have Thought That A Motswana Mans Brain Cells Could Simultaneously Fuse Together And Spark An Interest In The Less Appreciated Artform Of Battle Rap.Ever Since Then A Lot Has Changed (Except The President's Hair). It Only Took A Man...

My Folks - Poem Written by Motswetla Motswetla

Image
My heart beat. The Fibonacci sequence that completes my Golden equation. Love is the pattern that resonated, when my thought sinks deep, as I ink down this 26 alphabets scrabble in different patterns just to show my appreciation for you. My existence will be meaningless without you, like a complex equation without an equal sign. You're my light bearers that shine beyond the infinite stars. You're the fountain of knowledge I suckled from, the golden spoon that fed me. You're an oasis, beyond the mirage. My anchor that I cling to through the typhoons and Stormy gales . You're the veins that flow with kindness, and limitless altruism. You gave me wisdom that is light years ahead my time. Now I am a wordsmith, word artist I encrypted this picture into words. You will remain till the realms of time. This is not a word play, it’s an infinite love affection in display. These words...

LEFT ME FOR DEAD written by Bame Hadasha

Image
I was the brain and you were the retina And slowly there was lack of communication A glaucoma type of situation The vision of how I pictured my future with you became blur With memories replayed with the intention to stir my emotions Sweet melodies replaced with "sweet" nothings Mental breakdown "devotions" Depression built in and I suddenly escalated up the emotional stair case Where pain was silently creeping in at an unusual pace And you came to eliminate my last hope of love Like a Grim Reaper you ripped me off my soul As you left holes in my spirit  Was in a coma as my heart internally bleed dripping "floods" That my eyes couldn't withstand My condition was like a mere problem of "surds" to minors, no one could understand Even psychics couldn't pull the "right" cards on it Worst bandit... Was looking for a bandage in the wrong direction because my sidekick "left" me.. Left me ...
