Plan 02:47
PLAN By TitanDiva Never stop pushing, pushing, eliminating negativity, lined with positivity, the light will shine so brightly. Will almost feel like I’ve never tasted darkness, it was all just a show and I was cast as the lead actress. I still feel a higher power controlling me, shedding a light slowly wheeling my destiny. Playing master of the puppet string so easily, making fun of all my wrongs and flaws so publicly. So what, exactly is my job on this earth, ever since my sweet, strong lady gave birth? Hopefully it’s not to feel this miserable, I need to hear a strong voice saying I’m capable, of climbing this never ending ladder, feeling closer to the end, (closer to the end) each time getting better. Pulls me back to the ground, abusing my mind. I haven’t even started. (I haven’t even started.) Making me feeling like I’ve parted from my soul. Leaving me to question, why the fuck I’m in this world? People suffering constantly, others celebrating through other’s pain, taking advantage of another’s desperation, in order to gain power. These things get me thinking, I’m alone in this world, am I alone in this world? I got a lot of people around me, but I’m always feeling lonely. This is quite a lonely journey, what’s my purpose? Till today I don’t know. Why I don’t? Will I ever know. I’ll keep floating like a zombie, hoping one day I’ll have all the answers to this damn riddle. (riddle) All the answers. All the answers.

PRELUDE By TitanDiva Ft HXDI Stross Qala magcina ng’qede kuqala (x8) Strength gave ain't made by us. You better use before you all lose it, he gave I trust. I speak to sheep who understand me. The weak, strings of a jean, abandoned cause his own theme is unique. Get your shit together and beast, dress codes ain't for kings and queens. Qala magcina ng’qede kuqala (x8) You should do your thing Ain't for kings and queens You should do your thing Ain't for kings and queens You should do your thing Ain't for kings and queens You should do your thing This whole depth explore we must, you better step aside if you plan just to stay afloat. He gave you all the trust, in yourself so you understand. You're not weak and responsible for your actions and distractions. Move closer to pure form. Raise your game every day, dance without no norm. Make life worthy don't be shy homie. Just dance like you were just born. Just dance like you were reborn Hatred I get, faithful I stay, painful and yet, grateful effect. Hatred I get, faithful I stay, painful and yet, grateful effect. Hatred I get, faithful I stay, painful and yet, grateful I thank the Lord. Qala magcina ng’qede kuqala (x14) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Don’t know what I’m fighting for, don’t know what’s on the other side of the door. All I know is want this world to smile, people in it are too damn precious to cry or die. We always put ourselves through it, but it feels like a one way relationship. They tell us not to give up, while they force the very thought of tribe inside our minds. We’ll fight. Our lives have been turned upside down. Bunch of rocks, that have been shot down. To clay moulded and shaped in anyway. Always listening to what they have to say. Why are we afraid to be who we are? And why are we imprisoned by society? And why are we questioned by our own destiny? Compromising our happiness, to put those who don’t care about us first. Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck I'm Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck Wait, wait, wait, wait Wait, wait, wait, wait Wait, wait, wait, wait Wait, wait, wait, wait © 2022, DTH Studios, Moscow, Russia

Waiting 04:21
WAITING By TitanDiva Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck, I'm Stuck. Stuck with leaves that wanna take from me, and give nothing back, why am I so attached? Best believe that everything will be alright. I’m putting up a fight, got to reach the light. The definition of human is changing every day, don’t know if I’m willing to stand by the name or throw it all away. I don’t feel safe. This game feels like a never ending path of fear and pain, disguised by love and cash and fame. Till then? I’m waiting, I’ll keep on waiting. Waiting for the world to change, ending all this constant rage. I’m waiting, I’ll keep on waiting. Waiting to find happiness, in the midst of all this stress. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay Ay, ay ay, ay... So many thoughts rushing through my head, don’t know which ones to take and which ones to leave behind, got so much on my mind. I want to stand besides the truth, constantly need some sort of proof. The world contradicting itself, cracks behind the shelf. I’ll wait, wait, wait for it to change. Watch things rearrange. So close yet far away. I’ll have my day (I’ll have my day) I’ll keep on turning the page (keep on turning the page) I will get up do what I have to do. I’m gonna get through. The world is having its way with me, but I won’t give in, I’ll dream, redeem. Lean on my own shoulder, learn lessons as I grow older. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. Ngizofika, ngizofika x8 Stuck with leaves that wanna take from me and give nothing back, why am I so attached? Best believe that everything will be alright. I’m putting up a fight, I gotta reach the light, the light, the light, the light. I gotta reach the light. I’m walking to the light. I gotta reach… I gotta reach the light. I’m walking to the light.

Stop Motion 04:29
STOP MOTION By TitanDiva Senzani senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba Senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba Senzaaaaaa…. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so. Ayisoz’ iphile inhliziyo yami Ayisoz’ iphile inhliziyo yami So distant to this world. So often I forget who I am, try to remind myself but I burst. I feel my heart, see my skin, see the beauty, that I have been blessed with. Why do I often feel so distant to this world? I’m human I suppose, the path for me he chose. I’m absent deep inside, there’s something still to find. Just trying to figure out, how we came into this lie. Senzani senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba Senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba Feel, feel, feel. I feel down. I’m worse than ever before. On the floor, try to ignore, this pain. Now, again. No, almost everyday. I’m certain my heart is burning. I’m drowning sinking in the sand. I feel down. I’m worse than ever before. On the floor, try to ignore, this pain. Now, again. I mean, almost everyday. I'm certain my heart is damaged. I’m drowning sinking in the sand. Senzani senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba Senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba, webaba Senzani senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba, webaba Senzan’ kulomhlaba webaba. My dreams are far, but soon I will feel satisfied. I believe in me, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes it just takes to long, to reach there, where, I want to be. My dreams are far, but soon I will feel satisfied. Cause, I believe in me, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes it just takes to long, to reach there, where, I want to be. Human, I suppose, the path for me he chose. I’m absent deep inside, there’s something still to find. Just trying to figure out, how we came into this lie. Just trying to figure out.

Climbing 05:07
CLIMBING By TitanDiva Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. I just wanna live my life take it one day at a time and, think about the people that were in my life and the ones I might leave behind and, thank the good Lord for making me, all the plans he has for me and, always look forward never look back, try to get me down I’ll just keep on climbing. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. It’s so hard, hard to build a life in this world, cause all the things you want and need you gotta work hard for. So I’m just taking this moment to make a toast, for people that have helped me on this road. Without them I would never be, teachers, friends and family. I just wanna thank you, for helping me get through. Helped me to get to where I am, Lord knows I wouldn’t trade you for anything. You picked me up right from the ground, so I promise not to let you down. I just wanna live my life take it one day at a time and, think about the people that were in my life and the ones I might leave behind and, thank the good Lord for making me; all the plans he has for me and, always look forward never look back, try to get me down I’ll just keep on climbing. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. So many life lessons there’s things I wouldn’t do, if I didn’t get the privilege to learn it all from you, It’s very easy to go the wrong way (the wrong way), but you didn’t let me go astray. Lord, I know sometimes I tend to alienate you, but one thing I know is there’s no life without you. So lead me the right way and please teach me how to pray, whenever I’m feeling hopeless, or things aren’t going my way. I just wanna live my life take it one day at a time and, Think about the people that were in my life and the ones I might leave behind and, Thank the good lord for making me, all the plans he has for me and, always look forward never look back, try to get me down I’ll just keep on climbing. Lord you took my dad so soon I’ll never understand, but I know it was part of your plan and one day you’ll explain. So RIP PK, I know wherever you are you’re safe, I just hope one day I really get to see your face again, dad. I never thought someone that close to me would go away. Guess that was a way of showing me I won’t always have my way. So what I pray for now is for y’all to stick around. Everything will be alright; when times get rough we’re close to the light. I just wanna live my life take it one day at a time and, Think about the people that were in my life and the ones I might leave behind and, thank the good Lord for making me; all the plans he has for me and, always look forward never look back, try to get me down I’ll just keep on climbing. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me. Teach me how to pray.

The Phean Project Composer: TheDeanKriel. Artist: TitanDiva Wayo, wayo, wayo, way, Wayo, wayo, wayo, way, Wayo, wayo, wayo, way, Where is my way, my way home? (x3) Back in the land I am from, My home, where I was born, I am free I am me. Diaspora flock continually, we leave the mother land to live easily. Expatriate life live like a curiosity, discover for yourself what it means to be. Money attracts, detracts, the set backs change your accent and the way that you act. Fit in the puzzle, the puzzle's the world, Spend your days chasing nameless foreign girls. Oh I, I don't know why, It is, but it is. Back in the land I am from, My home, where I was born, I am free I am me. Climb the mountains and trees, migrate overseas, try to evade feudal system fees, Exchange culture for a lifestyle, heart strikes a cord, living in each one of it's children abroad. Oh I, I don't know why, It is, but it is. Back in the land I am from, My home, where I was born, I am free I am me.
