“I don’t know why but this song makes me think of Soweto , there’s so much there so many stories just everything about it is so beautiful and amazing 😭I probably sound crazy but trust that being in the hood will change you, seeing the beauty and craziness in how people co-exist in such a area is so beautiful can God heal Africa and our people because we truly deserve it ❤,” said @zenkosisaul3121.
