Big Brother is watching you
Written by Sia Komba on 20.1.05
Genesis 3:8 and Matthew 18:1-9

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not God in heaven
The person sittin near you
To whom you say proudly
‘Christ is in me’

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not the One in the heavenlies
The one with your eyes
You undress to her undies
What exactly are your fantasies?

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not the Holy of Holies
The man with whom you flirt
As you lift up your mini skirt.

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not the Lamb enthroned
The child who hears
Your expletive tone
AS you bellow to far away mum on the phone.

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not the rock higher than I,
The one who equates
You to a Rabbi
‘Cos you claim the Bible
Is your guide.

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not the Lion of Judah,
The colleagues who see
You as intruder
‘Cos your Bible bashin
Makes them shudder.

Big Brother is watchin you
No, not the Holy Trinity
The person who sees you
In Church spirituality
Also sees you live out
A societal identity

Big Brother is watchin you
Yes the one right next to you
Waitin for you to slip up
So they can give up on your Jesus
‘Cos even you
Don’t know how to big him up.

Yes that person is watchin you,
And remember Papa God
Sees all this too!

You are beautiful!
Yes you with the spectacles on
Feeling the fool
And looking forlorn

You are beautiful!
Yes you with the gap
Between your teeth
When commented on
This makes you seethe

You are beautiful!
Yes you with the hair
Naturally that colour
Wishin the red could be a little duller

You are beautiful!
Yes you they call plus size
Who wants to change the colour of your eyes.

You are beautiful!
Yes you who hates the shape of your thighs
Wishin the cuts were thinner sliced.

You are beautiful!
Yes you they call lanky
Who wants clothes
A little more swanky

You are beautiful!
Yes you who feels your chest needs enlarging
Who wants all the grey in your hair browning

You are beautiful!
Yes you who feels so small
Would you be a better Christian?
If you were tall?

You are beautiful!
Yes you who hates the shape of your toes,
The size of your nose
The way each leg bows in a photo as you pose

You are beautiful!
Yes you who hates the shade of your skin
You tan it brown or bleach it pink

You are beautiful!
Yes you who wants fuller lips
‘Cos the surgeon did a great job
On tucking the nips

You are beautiful!
Even as you scrub away at frown lines
Getting angry that the rejuvenating cream lies

You are beautiful!
Yes you who the unwanted hair is waxing
Feeling beautiful is oh so taxing,

But you are beautiful!
’Cos God looks to see a heart that is dutiful.

You prune, fine tune to swoon on the outwardly.
Please take time to look at the inwardly
‘Cos it often reveals your true beauty

With Armani jeans?
Vercase seams?
Gucci shoes?
Prada boots?
Or the fact that you ask me to pray with you?

Question?

Spittin lyrics
About a rappers satyrics
Yes, that lustful desire
That’s keeping you on fire
Or the fact that you seek to be His desire?

Question?

Impress me?
As you press more like him to be.
I don’t need you to be perfect,
But to know your Christianity is worth it.

Impress me?
Question?
