"Can you help me promote my latest article?",l
begged. Answering, he said, "Sorry l can't do probono anymore", l
thanked him and within a minute l was ready to leave his presence. I arrived
home sad, worried, dissappointed and embarrased.
To think of how I had dared to ask for such a favour from a 'gunshot'
in the arts was stupid. I logged onto whatsapp and saw a link of Marcques'
latest single featuring Dhuze hitmaker, Tkae Chidz with Simba Tagz on the beat
called Manga Muripi off his latest album, Alyve which was released on the 2rd
of August 2017.
Last time Marques worked on a song with Simba Tagz they
produced magical hit in 'Break Your Heart' and last time Simba Tagz worked with
Tkae Chidz they produced fireworks and l was positive that a song with these
three together was a neat production, I followed the link and listened to the
song,my heart melted listening to the lyrics presented. I will just take a clip
and comment about it.

Manga muripi zvichinetsa muchindiseka
--People don't want to assist you when times are tough but when
things are going well for you they need your assistance. You remind them of
their deeds and then they say (as he puts it in the song) "Ndikazvitaura
zvamaiita mobva mati mari yandipengesa".
Pandai danana nemuroyi you left me...From the first day
hanzi we she wasn't good for you...hona akukuita kunge Benzi.
---Why is it that when people see you in a bad relationship
they don't warn you. If you saw that what l was doing was wrong, why not
correct me?
scared that l will ignore your advise?, at least try and
then say,"I told you so" kana zvabvondoka.
Hanzi we were there achitangisa.
---We have heard people say that they supported you from the
beginning, but they never did, they only 'supported' you in critism and
scepticism.
They only pay attention when they need you.
---People are naturally like that, that's normal, I don't
expect someone to be in contact with me for nothing. When one proposes love to
someone its obvious he/she has seen something in that person and they believe that
there might be something to be achieved from it.
Hanzi chimboyisa magitare that's enjoyment
Chimbosiya zvekitsvaga tsvaga try employment.
---People are naturally designed to negatively reinforce
something that is against their wishes. When someone tells you to give up your
dreams, you fume no doubt, even knowing very well that, that dream is not
providing any income or the the income is low for the average standard of
living. In this lyric l found myself thinking, according to Veryus' biography
on him, Zorodzai Makani (Marques) was taught to play the guitar and piano by
his father (so why teach someone something if you don't want them to use it for
survival? I wondered....)
Pese pandai bvunza how they did it they mock
Hanzi chingoshanda zvinoita don't worry
---There is nothing frustrating than asking for strategies
on how to grow your audience or improve your work and the only response you seem
to be getting is "I don't have a clue" while that person has 100
000views in 1month or has been receiving many awards for his work.
Love lost, love never found
---Tkae Chidz' words are so heartbreaking because they are
true because when people 'varikushushira' but you love them, it is so painful you
get love sick. But imagine if you lose love for them and then they come to
you,cicicici,one would feel an urge to revenge and vengance of an unloved being
is like a scorching a fire.
This song reminds me of one of the key elements in music and
that's Lyrics, they are what makes a song what it is, even a beat has lyrics.
The Veryus music group has released three albums namely
Antithesis Light (3 March) by Gwinyai Peter Tawanda Runyowa popularily known as
Verseless and Trading Hours (12 March) by Lionel Mhike aka M.I.L.E (Make It
Look Easy) and the third one being Zorodzai Makani aka Marques'.
I got in contact with him to applaud him for his work
because it made me feel better about myself having come to conclusion about
human behaviour. l asked him what inspires his art.
"I take every inspiration as it comes, experiences in
life and channel that. When l write l begin with the chorus then come up with
the verses after hearing the instrumental. I love drawing from life, the
reality of it is that it is a never ending source of inspiration",said the
ex-Rehab Label signee.
