Lies of life
Owethu Zwane 2008 (Matsulu)
I was lose I their commotion
Cause I was stuck in my motion.
I never knew I lived in a world of lies
All I knew was just a myth,
It wasn't the truth
So now it feels like pain
Of rain in my vains.
They wanted my to see the other side of life
So I could learn to love
But it was never meant to be
And this was not for me
Who you are is who you are
And never let anyone change that!
