The concept of pain and suffering weighs heavy on Emage’s mind these days.

Lyrics:
chorus
Life getting tough it’s a highway
fighting demons catching migraine
I can not bare, this pain inside me
ndipheth’ impepho nekhandlela
khanyisa Dlozi lam
verse.1
I once gave my soul to Jesus but he declined my life
My ancestors never left me they define my life.
I hear these voices in my head like don’t be afraid go ahead and be great
you’re the king you need no spot light.
Got My sons yelling you’re the best Dad
their Moms on the background yelling you’re the worst man
she couldn’t stand me not being a yes man
blamed me for her faults that she couldn’t comprehend
All of my life man! I grew with no Pops
but I’ve never dodged no Cops
applause to my Moms
Depression got me suicidal
head spinning, yet kicking like a broken vinyl
all the pills that I drank couldn’t kill me Yeah Yeah
dark space, Past traumas couldn’t phase me
Yeah Yeah
I came too far, should have fell but I’m standing
Shout out to Ronnie for the Oven now we baking
