I ONCE WAS CAPABLE OF THINGS
SOME WOULD HAVE CALLED THOSE THINGS MIRACLES
SOME COULD HAVE CALLED THOSE THINGS ONE TIME LUCK
BUT I ONCE HAD POWER
I HAD POWER TO AN EXTEND THAT I MADE ANYONE WHO WANTED TO TALK LISTERN
SO MUCH POWER THAT I EVEN SWEPT THE QUEEN OF WORDS OFF HER FEET
SO MUCH POWER OF WORDS THAT I EVEN GOT SOME THINGS FOR FREE
I USED NO SMILES
I USED NO BRIBERY
I PAID NO CENT
I JUST USED MY WORDS
I NEVER PRACTISID WHAT I SAID
I NEVER WAS AWARE OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY
BUT
ONCE I SAID IT
IT GAVE MEANING
IT GAVE SENSE
IT GAVE SOLUTIONS
IT OPENED DOORS
IT CHANGED WAYS
IT CHANGED MINDS,HEARTS,BELIEVES,FACTS,RELIGIONS
MY WORDS THOSE THAT IN MY MOTHERS TOUNGE CALL 'MAFOKO AME'
