Rome aint any other city

Have you traveled of late
Ever seen the life in cape
And the rush in the equator city
have you been to Rome
the city that wasn't build in a day
when you say that
know it only applies to Rome
Not any other city
Rome aint any other city


Been to Shanghai?
Ever looked east?
Been to Nairobi?
The city in the sun.
Go there.come here.
you'll know brick and mortar makes cities
and they can as well
be build in a day

Who said we've got to copy Rome
building a brick a day
its been long time since
i took that journey to where i was born
to where i belong
there where people know me
there where i cant bury my head in the sand
there where i am naked though clothed

And so i will go
and when its time to come back to the city
I know i will meet many new things
buildings,cultures and norms
even new fashions,
and that way,
a new way of life will come alive.
we will reinvent the city
and write new laws and by-laws,
by which we will live
and so each day we build our Rome
our Rome is a work in progress,
all the time.
in a days work,we build our Rome
So Rome aint any other city
its unlike ours.

I Laugh when i look the other way

Flowers don't blossom in winter
Neither do vineyards have fruit in spring
but hey,this inconsistence is all over the place
when i look across the field
And see no field
But an expanse in space

So,do you think am ceaser Augustus?
To question why rivers flow to the sea!
and see no order in my creators plan?
No, am not.
I just laugh
when i look the other way

My way is just that-mine
Tis neither a highway nor your way
Its just a way I've chosen.
It may be less traveled.
Who said the beaten path is the surest way
This way may as well have a promise.
And so I'll just laugh when i look the other way.
