[voice recording]
“Life was just different...
First of all we lived in a big house
It would fill up with people once a month
We used to host a gathering every Saturday
All our friends would come
Inaya would sing, and Manwa would dance!
I’m telling u we lived like royalty
We went to Nazareth for what was supposed to be a month
And we stayed indefinitely...”
They say home is where the heart is
But what if you don’t have one?
Would it be where I’m most honest?
I say home is where my art is
My penmanship’s my anthem
More committing than a promise
Got my family by my side for life
Everyday I’m reaching a new height
Freedom in my thoughts they raised me right
They can’t ever stop my inner child

[voice recording]
“And what happened to your house?
It’s gone. They demolished it.
It’s part of the sea now.
But I lived a full life
From when I was young to when I got older.
A life so full, so alive.
It was amazing.”
