Lost in a field of flowers, the boy wonders what lead to a world lost, In greed and power? He sees greens, that tower his whole scenes, and a shower of city blues that blend with red pools, and greens, to produce yellowing corpses, And as the yellowing corpses court with the brown soils below, And start to push daisies and daylilies that glow and bloom in the moonlight, Soon the boy bursts through the wounds that had scarred his motherland, And left the roots of his ebony family tree far too limber (limba) But the thing is, even the sting of a venomous creature can be cured and singed, By the venom the vermin stores in its jaws or limbs, Much in the same way the manure that filled this boy's country, Only allowed him to grow from a closed seed to an open rose

[Verse 1] Ah, I told ya to enter my mind, Now it's time, for you to come and, ah, enter my life, As a child, my life was centred and tethered to strife, In the wild, of the Congo, did I mention the fights, In the nights, and the wars, that would break out, ignite, Of course, this became the norm for wreckage to spike, ah Macabre hearts, and a carcass cast man it ain't alright Barrage, hard military armed with hot bombs, Artillery, that cost a life, yeah, This the pain, humans feuding, everyday, Devils brewing, demons prey, On the foolish, and decay, spreading, Many spray, bullets here, with the AK, Many tears, on plenty faces, my dear, where's the change here? [Interlude: Mr. Guide] Where's the change, we're chained to wars in this place we call, Congo, (Congo, Congo) Where a young boy is born into a country of corruption and death [Verse 2] (Yes) This is it, all the pain, that do exist Let me paint the truest description, of the feuds and rifts, That would run, the ruins, rips made, consuming all of us, Snakes are loosened, forest brushed with blood, polluting forages, What'd bloom is doom and tombs that'd soon consume, the corridors, Of life and death, the horrors pushed, From offices to the roads of dust, With slaughterings and sorts of things that's sordid, Must, I continue giving you illustrations, of this sort of stuff!? [Interlude] Congo, black and bloodied now, Go it check out, The place is hungry, muddied by the horrids man, I represent the Congo yes, Until I rest my consciousness, Forever I'm on keep repping this place, make my country proud [Interlude] Who'd ever think that this land is Christian? Had to land in England 'cause my times where different... Hard times, for instance, Children enlisted, to harsh militias, There's, mothers and sisters, raped in villages, And cities seriously deprived of food, There's, bad diseases and malnutrition, asylum seekers, Of which I was too [Outro: Mr. Guide] So here we are, in Congo, (Congo, Congo, Congo) Or rather in Daniel's memories of Congo, the place he was born, (born) And we journey with him, through this story, Memoire, (Memoire, Memoire, Mémoire) A flashback and highlights of his life, So follow us, through this tale, as we speak about Daniel Sebuyange, the young boy from Africa, I bring to you Memoire

There are various ways a seed can be dispersed, Some choose the air, To ride and glide its carefree currents, Other currents may be used, Such as the movements of Mother Nature's life infused light brew, Known to man as water, Where other flowers are also known to bloom, This leads back to the lily that cocooned my form, Vanilla polylepsis are also known to lay near here, Their family is the orchid, A family calypso is also born from, But we'll focus on the waves, On the waves of hate that came to change my place

The cycle begins once more, Only now it's slightly different, The seed falls deep in new soils, Some seeds don't make it, Some are left naked on concrete ground, Some face hatred by being locked and bound, by thorns, Some drown, But of the ones that do make it.

about

Mémoire, a journey through the highlights of Blue Saint’s life from his childhood and adolescence to his current age, both in Africa and the United Kingdom.

The project is centred around the theme of growth and is loosely connected to Blue Saint's previous concept EP's "Enter Mynd, Part I" and "Enter Mynd, Part II: Sociation". Mémoire uses floral and naturistic imagery, interspersed with poetry throughout its body, and the project is made to show the audience the experiences and influences that shaped Blue into the person he is today.
