Man’s Fate

(Stefan Timic)

A brutal reflection on a man’s suffering, broken by neglect and regret, exposing the tragedy of loving too late and mourning what you destroyed.

Verse 1 
I told my mother not to cry, there’s no other way 
The fate of man is a cruel joke 
He’s bound to die by love or war 
There are no kind words for you, it’s yours to be strong 
When your soul dies inside, they cry too late 
Why is every man born to suffer? 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Man’s not made of stone, but you made him cold 
Once, they thought they would be happy 
(Once, they thought they would be happy) 
Once, they thought they would be happy 
(Once, they thought they would be happy) 
 
Chorus 
They’re gone, what now? 
Why do you grieve for a body that can’t hear you? 
You should have cared for him while he was still here 
Why do you grieve for a body that can’t hear you? 
 
Verse 2 
You kept complaining, comparing him to others 
You never praised his efforts, so what now? 
Crying ’cause he’s not here anymore 
He gave you everything, you threw it away 
Now ask God to give him back to you 
Why is every man born to suffer? 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Man’s no machine, he breaks, he feels 
Once, they thought they would be happy 
(Once, they thought they would be happy) 
Once, they thought they would be happy 
(Once, they thought they would be happy) 
 
Chorus 
They’re XXXXX XXXX XXXX

Love For a Lifetime

By Dawn Wilson

In the 42nd year of our marriage, my husband and I never stopped being in love. Of course there were difficult times, of course there was bickering. We started out the right way, lots of couples do (and some don’t). I don’t know if I can give anyone the secret formula for a marriage that lasts a lifetime. Even if I could, not everyone will listen. Most don’t. “A Love for a Lifetime” is dedicated to my husband. He still makes me laugh and every day I find another reason why I married him, why I love him.

No Pressure

By Annabel Chima

This song is quite niche...it's about gate-keeping the Exotical Community - for ALL Exoticals (Dark-Skinned, Brown-Skinned, Light-Skinned) - basically people who are Mixed/Admixed or 'look Mixed'. Further to this, it is about forming a safe space for us - or perhaps a new 'World' for us where we leave behind the outdated systems and form our own communities... I focus on the need to protect the young ones/the kids so that certain cycles don't repeat. I grew up hearing people bombard me with questions like, "What are you Mixed with?" and even had adults not believing my parents are my parents or saying I should "question them" about where I "really" come from (insinuating that my parents were hiding a certain DNA admixture in my bloodline from me)...I do not want my 'future' kids to go through that and I know that many Mixed/Admixed people can relate to this. I want my 'future' Exotical kids to be surrounded by other Exoticals who understand them/their looks/phenotype/ethnic background etc, not a society that constantly pokes at their looks and analyses how 'exotic' they look 24/7. We are often criticised more than others and feel the pressures to perform well or be 'perfect' in society. Additionally, it is not our fault that the world pedestalises us; we should own who we are, what we look like, and our accomplishments; I want us to be free, hence the song title, 'No Pressure'. The lyrics are just an Ode to ALL Exoticals - I want solidarity between us...do with it as you please! Genres: Rap, Hip Hop, RnB, Trap, Drill, Country, Poetry.
