Feeling Zambian Good

Chorus: 

Tell me where to go, when you are silenced as the screamer? Waiting for answered prayers, if someone cares or just a dreamer, Used to be so beautiful Sunbeams, eating nshima (n’SHEE-ma)
Faith still shines a light in me whilst listening to Nina…
“…it’s a new dawn day, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me 
….and I’m feeling good.”

Who makes and breaks and clearly mistakes their promises?
I’ll look after you, your papers, stay and adoption wishes.
Citizenship, sailed - harbouring anger on this vessel,
Because you’re ‘family’, I had to ‘stay’ to learn the lesson.

Cousins + Mommy’s sister, cause I’ll help out each day.
So as a younger schoolgirl, had no friends, or a need for play.
Befriended reading, lessons, books and homework class extended,
But to my dismay made Head-Girl the teachers ALL commended.

Didn’t know that jealousy would lead to my demise, 
The naive type housegirl, nanny babyminder they despised!
When bullying happens at home, abused plus made a slave,
Couldn’t take it anymore – fowl play, MAN. U … away.

The only option left for me not rotting in that dungeon, 
was moving in to live with unknown family in London.
Your sister and your Mother may be fun and warm and girly.
No so unfortunately see for me we split too early.

Yet once again, like dejavous summoned and called for duty,
Just really presses on your heart when ‘family’ show cruelty, 
An African in the UK it’s natural and expected,
Pick up children, cooking, cleaning being disrespected.

This carried on and on meanwhile my studies kept me focused,
Without a penny poor, I studied law and left the locusts.
New friends at Uni let me stay on sofas fears diminished,
With favours, faith, and different places made it to the finish.

A female graduate, a rented space and job succession, 
Feeling so strong plus moving on …then BAM hit the recession!
With angry talks both back and forth, landlord then tried to punish, 
Through screams and shouts, still got thrown out, bag, cases, box & rubbish.

Hours went by, day turned to night, both sky and spirits fallen.
A passer by gave blessed advise on hostels council - call them.
Had never known to find such help, and feared all things appalling.
Today am blessed, work, place of rest, Gods glory ends my story.

Chorus: 
Tell me where to go, when you are silenced as the screamer? Waiting for answered prayers, if someone cares or just a dreamer, Used to be so beautiful Sunbeams, eating nshima (n’SHEE-ma)
Faith still shines a light in me whilst listening to Nina…
“Fish in the sea, you know how I feel. River runnin' free, you know how I feel,
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me,
And I'm feelin' good.”

Writing by LyricL Nkechi.
Based on the true story of Zambian friend Chris**** 
Inspired by the 'Feeling Good', song by the phenomenal Nina Simone.

“She Laughed“ 

Everything we know and love today about the 80's and 80's Culture, was and is so very different for the people of Srebrenica, Bosnia. 

11 July 1995. Unbelievably brave survivors of this horrendous genocide. Mothers who have recently laid their beloved children to rest, others still in desperate DNA search for even the most minuscule reminder of this heart breaking pain. A large number of women, children and the elderly forcibly deported, raped as well as right now, everyday people, trying, living and learning exactly how to re-understand life, remain hopeful and stay positive after the devastation of 8,372 Bosnian people systematically massacred and buried in mass graves in Europe just over 20 years ago.

On meeting, feeling, seeing and hearing the poignant accounts first hand from the survivors and residents, Artist & Performance Poet LyricL interprets those creative truths through a Spokenword piece entitled "She Laughed" written on her return to London, UK (October 2015), on arrival at London Heathrow Airport, with 'You Press' Manager Farah Mohammad and fellow Artist Creatives on the 'I Remember Srebrenica' project.

Reason Feat. Ray Estaire (snippet)

Lyricist, Singer-Songwriter, FeMCee, 2014 ‘Spokenword’ BEFFTA Award Winner and Artist-Tutor LyricL, is a jubilant, exultant performer, whose animated fresh style exudes joy, in a euphoric and beautiful way! 

Born in London to Nigerian parents, LyricL's early and enduring musical influences came from home. A drummer/DJ Daddy, who “loved African Jazz, Gospel and High Life, entertained with chest-tap percussion, beatbox and skillfully played his hands as wind instruments, as Mommy dances and sings in her own key of happiness to this very day.”

Wilderness, Southport, North Sea Jazz, Sabolai Music and the Toronto Jazz Festivals, have embraced her creative works. An eclectic catalogue that spans Hip-Hop, House, Jazz through to Afro and Broken Beat with a soulful edge, stirring grooves enhanced by her lyricism and Spokenword. 

Support act to Patrice Rushen, Xantone Blacq, The Roots, Omar, Incognito, Big Daddy Kane, Black Thought, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Jill Scott, LyricL is an often sought after keen creative ally. Lighting up mics and stages with her performances, LyricL has been fortunate to both tour and record with a range of talented musicians and producers; MJ Cole (UK) Nathan Haines (NZ) KiloBeats & David Oscar (Accra, Ghana), Roots Soul, Kyoto Jazz Massive (Japan) and Guerrilla Science (Toronto).

Unapologetic originality, lyrical dexterity and openness, to innovate, elate and debate.

That vibe and energy continues throughout her current works.

Nigerian [Igbo] Proverb:    'A na-ekwu ekwu, a na-eme eme'. [Talk the talk, walk the walk].

"When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others."
