AFRITUNES WEEK 77 - PROUD (AN ORIGINAL SONG)
Unlike my previous presentations where I sing covers, this is written - from beginning to end - by yours truly.
The title stems from a strong desire to change my story and become somebody. The lyrics of this song came when I was preparing for this phase of my life. I had no idea what I was going to meet in the future but one thing was certain - I will WIN.
This is a tribute to the one person who has been there with no complains. I can be a very difficult person and she has dealt with it (at the same time disciplining me in a loving way). She's my Mother.
Some would say, "well she is your mom. That's why it's easy for her". I don't believe so. Just because they are your parents doesn't mean they should tolerate nonsense. If you gre up in a home with a strict father, you will understand what I mean. Is just one look he will give you ehn...
The lyrics are quite clear. I likened myself to a designer bag because when I was little, they called me Mommy's Handbag. I went everywhere with her. I was the gum to her hair.
We've been called poor and ridiculed over many things. I am not proud to say that we have had to beg which made me prey to very...perverted and twisted human beings. But God has been faithful and I can't remember the last time I went to ask anyone (who isn't my friend/Mom) anything.
Looking back on where I am coming from, I can say with my full chest that it only gets better from here.
I plan to take this song to a studio and work on it more professionally. This is just a glimpse of one of my songs. Haha. I fit release album like this o! But that won't be a surprise. I love music and only recently started coming out with it.
I am a bit camera shy so, no vex say I no look camera.

Thank you so much 😊
You're a very good songwriter.....
It's sad you had to go through that phase of your life, it takes only the brave to want change and do something great with themselves.
I'm especially proud of you, you didn't let what people and what others said about you and your family define you and that's admirable.
You go blow because this song is 🔥🔥
It’s not sad at all 😂. I was just thinking that if I wasn’t presented such circumstance, I may be a lazy bum somewhere. Thank you so much!
