Silver Spoon
Even though you were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you can still own a silver spoon in your house.

What's Your Why?
Why do you wake up every morning?
What do you do when the sun is dawning?
Why do you do what you do?
Your why is going to push you.
Your why is gonna give you the edge you need,
Your why will take charge and lead,
Your why is going to get you to the next level,
Your why is going to make you revel.
Behind every feeling there's nothing,
Behind every principle there's a promise.

Consistency
Conformity, accuracy, fairness,
Applying something meaningful,
Precisely stating something useful,
Fairly facing your weaknesses.
We need people with consistency,
People who will fight for our country,
People who will endure the pain,
People who want everyone to gain.
Consistency

Legacy
What people see,
What people will say,
Your legacy starts today,
What you do today, is what they'll say tomorrow.

I'm Still Standing
Even though the vicissitudes, demographics and conundrums rise against me,
I'm Still Standing
Even though they stone me, delay me and deny me,
I'm Still Standing
Sometimes I have to stand where I don't understand,
Help me understand the art of standing on this sand.
I'm Still Standing

Youth Day
Years after years have passed,
Online world is now moving so fast,
Uprising of June 16 1976 in Soweto,
The fastest bullet, in the ghetto,
Hector Pieterson we salute you.
Dying like a soldier, fighting to be free
After 40 years we're still holding the key,
Youth Day is not just a holiday, it's a statement.

A New Definition of Love
As I landed from a plane,
Something felt like a sound of rain,
I couldn't take my eyes off you,
You gave my heart a new song,
Your love makes me strong.
A New Definition of Love
You are the world through my eyes,
Through the night you're my sunrise,
My heart belongs to you,
You're the reason I want to live,
My destiny to you I give.
A New Definition of Love
You are the air in every lung,
A song of love in my tongue,
How can I ever live without you?
When I'm broken you're my remedy,
With you I landed to my destiny.
A New Definition of Love

The Roar of a Lioness
The world is astounded by your beauty,
Heaven knows you're your parent's cutie,
Everyday we just want to snuggle and kiss you.
Rivers of love are flowing within our family,
Open hearts are what makes this galaxy,
Age didn't stop you from walking,
Reading and playing got you talking.
Over the years I wanted you to be the first born from my wife,
Freedom is in knowing you've got a partner for life.
Apparently you know exactly what you want.
Listening to you sing melts my heart,
Inviting you to my arms as we co-create this piece of art,
Out of all the people I know you don't compromise,
No, you don't stop until we hear your cry and wet your eyes,
Everyday you play with iPhones, MacBooks and pianos then shout,
Somehow your confidence really freaks me out,
Singing, reading and leading will be your thing no doubt.

Sacrifice
If you don't sacrifice for your dream, your dream will become a sacrifice.

I've Got a Walker
I've got a runner,
I've got a laugher,
I've got a talker.

Love Her
Let her know how much you deeply love her, not just because you constantly tell her every second you get but because love is in the air. #loveher
