2022 and this is still the best 8 min song ever made by Namibia’s best artist 

poetic genius...I hope you make it and dont change..

He becomes a slave? Festus? Damn this is hard

Can't stop playing this track. The Godfather soundtrack with the eloquent delivery of poetic barz is just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Ur arguable the best lyricist out here fam..... Cant believe I'm only hearing this now 

when I saw 
a homeless man feeding pigeons
in a region 
known for corporate greed and high-priced religion
it had me prisoned for a moment
freezing in the cold wind
sprinkling the crumbs of what his stomach could be holding 
golden was the colour of his heart in that spectacle 
I guess the view
had me conscious of my shortcomings,
owning up to cases where my conscience was expected to
stand up 
but feet stumbled or preferred running.
moved 
I collected more evidence 
of how that small action was connected to a heavenness 
having less 
yet 
stretching in abundance
love is a magic to be flexed and be harnessed 
the garden of your compassion is ripe for harvest
farthest from all perfection yet regard this
as a call to play surgeon with unsteady palms
but I ignored, reset and carried on

I remain a slow dancer
(God speakin’ up)
(drums switchin’ up)
(thoughts interrupt)
(not living up)
(life getting tough)
(God give it up)
You gonn’ get the same answer
(I’m stubborn as ufck)
I remain a slow dancer

Fate chancer 
I throw die and I bet it all
no windfall wall cold on my spinal cord
faith tester
if I don’t die when heaven call
that small win means 
live this form till my final (inhale)
I don’t follow any scripture nor equation
when life hardens
I don’t slaughter for the ancients
I learnt to shapeshift in accordance to the current storm
torn tekkies 
dancing with the devil since a younger spawn
Maintaining balance people wondering which drugs I’m on
insane he hasn’t lost a marble many minds are gone
the trick is never tryin’ to sprint in a marathon 
keep a steady pace, never cross where the lines are drawn
slow your velocity 
that’s the philosophy 
ensure you watch your speed
in choreography 
I don’t mean you should follow in my footsteps 
the city ‘s mean and I doubt there’s many good left
