"Higher" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
Hold your head up high my people, but the sky isn't our limit
The light isn't that bright, if so like a switch, just dim it
Dare to ascend and reach goals higher then the mind could conceive
Tap into the untapped "11%" in the brain and you can then believe
That excuses of the "white man" and social decay are factors that we must no longer let hold us back
Everyone wants to be someone else, just be yourself and react
And set a path for yourself and live it like everyday may be your last
Cliché, I know that may be but this comes from the heart
As I myself embark on the path of fatherhood I present a man who was scared of the challenge new life can give
But the strength of being a loving father and future husband have given me a new reason to live
So lift your head up high and look higher still
Do the best you can and you will love the way you feel
Peace

"Cowards" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
"Cowards" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
We have never truly trusted you, as you hide in the shadows, with venom like a snake
For years we listen to you talk your bulls@@t, so sad that we tired to relate
And try and understand you and dare I say listen to the words that you felt made us react
Saying positive things to us, but you speak negative behind our back
A master of manipulation aiming to give you a paranoid state of mind
Don't fool for this foolishness or you shall then be confined
But we have now absorbed you in and filtered out all of "your" waste
Like writing in Microsoft Word we merely selected copy and paste
Luxor Cephren said "only take heart from words spoken from those close to thee"
Words spoken so true my brother, as cowards these people shall always be.
(Dedicated to those who words are an example of their own ignorance and fear - Try and learn for this is a new year)

"A Collection" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
"A Collection" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
‘Queen’
A Nubian Queen moves forward with a journey for her to take
With strength she acknowledges the choices she must make
An embodiment of her ancestors, so wise and so clean
Taking each day as it comes she formulates her dreams
So walk forward my sister and hold your head up high
You have no limits so reach past the sky
‘Motivation’
Nature is beautiful and so are we
Open your hearts and be the best that you can be
Self-doubting is self-inflicting confidence will help you strive
Put theory into practice and set your dreams alive
‘Acknowledge’
The worst lie to tell is the one you tell yourself
Address your problems and within shall come your help
We are all but human and answers are what we strive to find
Acknowledge, understand and unlock your programmed mind.
‘Hip Hop’
Universal it is through mass presentation
Deep is it through cultural progression?
Its words and beats together formulate
Negativity in children’s minds and violence for them to create
‘Role Model’
Look at how you are respected from the achievements within your life
Understand that many look up to you in the darkness you are their light.
So think about your actions and the words that you may say
For you are a role model each and everyday
‘Society’
Society forces us to conform to the standards set by others?
When really it is ourselves that we should try to discover.
Be an individual my friend and excel to be the best
Be a shepherd not a sheep and advance through this test
‘Winter’
The days move rapidly to night as the light fades away
The shadows now loom over us, as night replaces day
This transition is old but you find it hard to relate
Winter is now amongst us as the cold weather now takes shape
‘Relationships’
Time is very important, so make sure you invest it well
Choose the ideal partner and with that you shall propel
Understand that companionship is something one should want and not need
Be open and true to each other and your relationship shall succeed.

"Inspiration" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
"Inspiration" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
I wake up in the morning full of ideas
As I slowly reflect on the passing of the years
The essence of life the beauty of growth
Taking note of the things I cherish the most
Love from my family, strength from my friends
Important relationships that will never end
Whenever I’m am stressed I pick up my pen
And begin to write about the exploits of men
Crime, discrimination, racism and war
The rich get richer while the poor stay poor
If we open our eyes it is clear to see
That human nature is a disease that exists within you and me
Though my words sound harsh, I’m just stating the truth
If the world is dying then we are the proof
Now I’m going to change the mood to take you off guard
Remember life is a journey and trust me it’s hard
Never take people for granted, be honest and play your part
Then hopefully your inspiration will blossom in your heart.

"Back in the Day" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
"Back in the Day" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
Back in the day when it was all so plain to see
That there wasn't any differences between you and me
The issue of religion and colour, never crossed our minds
As we craved to explore every corner and new friendships for us to find
In Primary school lunch and "Nap-Time", the highlights of our day
Never truly listening to what the teachers would say
The weekends never came quickly, so we embraced it when it reached our path
Be it Knock-Down Ginger or Pat-Ball, memories so close to our hearts
Water fights at Burgess Park, or even football at the Astro-turf
Falling down and getting straight up, we never really got hurt
Remember that cute girl Melissa? The one from around your way
And that time you closed in to kiss her, it was clear she didn't want to play
2pm on a Saturday the Ice Cream Man's music would blaze all around the hood
Knowing you would only get that £1 if your mum thought you were good
When the street light finally came on, so did that scream from mummy's mouth:
"Playtime is over so get back in the house!"

"Sister" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
So you asked him to tell you what he really does think
Only for the response, to make your heart slowly sink
Remember he is but a man and when he speaks the truth is what he will express
Take knowledge from these words and with that you shall eliminate the stress
Strength exists in all of us, look deeper and believe me it shall show
Though love has passed at this point, in time a new one shall grow
So hold your head up sister as there are brothers who can see your worth
A man who will treat you as his equal, and destroy any form of hurt.
Ups and downs there will be, as you take the good with the bad
Sharing life together as one this will truly be the best time you have ever had
Don't look back to the past, as it exists there for a reason
Your happiness is around the corner, so embrace it every season.
