Analysis of Chineka
Chineka,
Hmm, what could I say
She's often left astray
Astray by the wonders of the Mind
The meaning of time
Why is there air?
Breathe
I can't Breathe
Lord help me please
Chineka
Well, let's see
Chineka can only be me
That's how I fall out
What's that all about?
There's no one else to talk to
There's nothing to do
I'm losing my mind
Matter as fact, I lost my Soul
I lost my Soul a long time ago
Misunderstood,
Uneducated Fool,
A Fool For Love
To be Loved by me
To be Loved by Chineka
Give me my heart back
I'm still lost in Black
And, ain't no coming back
Chineka ain't wack
Chineka been jacked
Please nigga give me my Blood back...
Back in my Veins
Back inside of me
Give Chineka back
Put her back where she belongs
Because without Chineka
Chineka can't go on...
