I Swear Drunk I'm Not Mom ~ Banele Kubheka

We were at the mall
When we got a call
It was Bae's birthday
Her heyday
So she sent us a Mayday
She was having a celebration
She had all our attention and concentration
Luckily it was Friday
Previous day was pay day
The perfect set up so they say
All I needed was composure
Prevent all this exposure
To this party we brought life
Refreshments and hype
Getting down like crazy
Nobody could phase me
We let bygones be bygones
Our differences were gone
Like stars we shone
Like I said before
This all happened until four
There is no need to be glum
I swear drunk I'm not mom.

Yuktha Singh ~ Let's Reach the Heights of Craziness

The illness of Honesty,
Leave it and come, run and come
My heart is warmly inviting you…
Let’s party all night.
Reach the heights of
Craziness for a change,
Throw your hands up into the air
And let the lights be dim.

I am a little spoilt
You too become a little spoilt.
I’ll take a step forward,
You too take a step forward.
Throw your hands up
Into the air,
Let yourself free for once-
Free from the wrath of sophistication.
Let the intentions be a little
Wild and crazy for
 A moment.

The atmosphere seems intoxicated,
Almost like alcohol.
All this intoxication that is spreading-
Let’s drink it up…
These intoxicating moments
Are making me excited
Let’s get crazy!

We’re in the age of Prime Youth,
Make some mischief.
In this age-
In the journey of the Heart,
What’s wrong and what’s right?
Let’s reach the heights
Of craziness for a change.
Throw your hands up into the air
And ‘Create’ till your heart’s desire-
Let the lights be dim…!
