All I wanted was to sing,
Yet singing seemed to run away from me.
But I kept on chasing it,
With every crack, I grew stronger, not ashamed.
I kept pursuing my dream,
And new opportunities always arose.

I was so young,
A young Cameroonian,
Born into humble beginnings.
Some called it bad luck,
I saw it as a learning experience.
For I discovered the beauty of having less,
The resilience in going a day without eating.
It was tough, but I learned,
And I have no regrets.

I didn't always have much,
But my parents taught me
To make the most of what I had.
I dream of singing soulful songs,
Melodies that people will enjoy and relate to,
Songs that align with the Bible—
The first book I treasured without seeking,
A book of wisdom and life.

Some asked, "Why not perform only gospel songs?"
I replied, "It's not fear that holds me back,
But a desire to reach a wider audience.
I don't want to be just a Christian singer,
I want to be known as a singer,
A soul gospel genre singer."

And now, here I am in the US,
Grateful for the opportunity to achieve my goals.
I believe in the power of dreams we create.
Many haven't reached where I am,
But here I stand, determined to do my best,
So my siblings, and perhaps the world,
Can shift from the mindset of "can't" to
"I made it. I made America proud.
I made Cameroon proud.
I made Asia Proud.
I made Europe proud as well."
