I dont come back you tell mother I love her


Produced by theNairobinomad and Moise Archipe 


mixed and mastered by theNairobiNomad


My future is busy running I cant stop until i find it though 
These words is busy running through my mind so why would i be slow. 

Athlete. 
in mannerisms and acumens. 
the aforementioned is affirmative. 
I been running since retelin 
Apparitions and aladdins
aneurysms and acronyms 
B.O.M aint an actor 
though actively thinking passively. 
pacifist though im active as 
vigilantees on precipice 
Pessimist as a celibate clitoris 
from a feminist. definitive life
decision. as cancerous as my cypher.  
Though asterix till i master it. 
master bate for the master. 
I'm just trying to find it.

Homies think im riding, they cant stop until they get the dough
My pen is busy writing, I cant stop until it gets me home.

Words.
Im in my element, 
hella bent like an elephant.
though i vent, is it relevant? 
circumvent my intellegence
which event is development?
never slept I am an Owl
I shelter vowels and consonants. 
disembowel the foul. 
like im elder.  For hours and ever after. I'm permanent. though devoured. 
And find offence in the fire. 
im elequent as its evident.
ventilations for cowards
power through beside the sour
The laughter only gets louder when
showers tower my nigga.
im just trying to find it . 
Im just trying to find it 

Almanac epiphanies bring amish adoration.
Now I wish I was basic, Like  how i knew was basic. 

Lost
I speak this language in prose. I run around like a pro. Id prolly know whats alive if i didnt 24. I live my life at the door. I rhyme my words like before, but never after , i mean,but ever after i meant, but never laughter, unless I pour my glasses in bigger glasses of alcoholness

I hold classes On breaking character art that i miss.
I hold my breath when I take a breath. man my  lungs are a mess. 
I'm just that hopeless i guess, 
I breathe in ocean,  and man its not emotion no more.

I guess I found it.



Find It; or, Nothing at all, truly nothing at all.

Ne re lwa;  or, Straight out of Kgomotso.

SOPHIA, CAN YOU HEAR US?

Bound 24; or, Unamazing when our calluses forge  themselves from the carcasses of our memories.

HUMAN STORIES

Vent; or, poems for post nut clarity.

Nna is a reflective song. Where B.O.M looks back at the many moments that shaped him this far. From roundabouts with his childhood friend King dah scavenging for female attention in the twilight hours of a night out to When some of his own friends  didnt believe he was a rapper worth listening to. 


The song is one of B.O.M's highest acclaimed singles to date. With it's witty punchlines, catchy hook, multi-layered lyrical dexterity as well as deep storyline all inside the potpourri of Hamster on the beats production influence.

The B.O.M. – NNA https://genius.com/The-bom-nna-lyrics

Written in 2012 and released in 2013 when I was 15. This is the re-release. The Revamped version

Light Up (with Dr Umar Johnson)

This is a track inspired by my struggles with MDD. I wrote it on a hospital bed after yet another attempt at taking my own life. Inspired by the trials I read about in Maya Angelous life. I was moved to write a small list of reasons why I caged bird might want to still sing. Why I keep writing. 


Artcover by Dandy Fos. 
Instrumental by Sleeping at last for Saturn


I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

Heads are drawn to this song for its mastery and dexterity of delivery blended with the vulnerability portrayed. Especially since it was dropped early in B.O.Ms career when nobody really gave an ear only to be blasted with what many still consider to be his Magnus opus.  

Saturday is loved for both it's production and vocal delivery. Aldrin puts in a valiant effort in his premiere collaboration with the Kgomotso native and the two distant Khoisan descendents unload a world of casual yet thought provoking and melancholic feel that catapulted the lyrical prowess of B.O.M to really pull him to the levels of Beast on [the] Mic as perhaps his initials may suggest.

Saturday

Inspired by M. Rumbi -hence the the Artwork.

The song details various elements that hinge on being African and staying religious . Asking the listeners not to compromise themselves for the sake of abstractions. It reminds us of where we come from and staying true to yourself while arming yourself with what's necessary. it features a guitar solo from Moise Archipe and instrumentals by M. Rumbi and Moise .

A lot; or, The moon is a kite for inconspicuous lotuses.

Calypso Is the first single from B.O.M and DJ Boxer since the wide release of "NNA". 

It's also the first single from B.O.Ms full length project  F.U.S.S Loudly.

Calypso

Charlie; or, How they said nothing grows in The Kgalagadi.

The fourth single from Theirs: an E.P. B.O.M nonchalantly talks about his focus and how that sets him apart from the rest of the industry.The song is a cover of the Mac Miller song "Fight the feeling". With references of "set it off" and one of its titular cast members Jada Pinkett Smith he not only talks about but demonstrates how he snaps when an instrumental is ever turned on.
