I think he likes me cause I’m gifted, he said my pen game different.
Malaika malaika East African angel, she’s from Nairobi, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, can’t you tell? Her gifted tongue speaks Swahili & the language of love well. Roots from Congo she might be half Kamba half Baganda, or a girl from Tanga who speaks Kinyarwanda. West African girl from Accra she’s half Fanti half Ashanti, a Bamako city girl, a mix between Mande & Fulani. She reminds me of Egyptian pyramids or the Sphinx in Giza, hands to the stars to the genius who created her. Your mother is a legend, and whoever your father is, God bless him.
‘Because I got my name from a woman, & my game from a woman, I’d be willing to change for a woman. I’ll pull a couple strings for a woman, always make it a fair exchange for a woman’. #womensday
Tulipendana wawili, sitaki wakili.
It’s your world baby, I’m just happy to tell the story.
Whatever angers you, controls you
