My name is Qiqa and it starts with a capital Q.

You know these days
I've been rather angry,irritated,bitter
Asa matter of fact
I'vebeen pissed
Becauseof people like you
Yes,you,youand you
Yousee I hate it
I hate it when you stand before me and
mispronounce my name

When you misspell my name.
I'msick and tired of people
neglectingto speak right
JUst because i twang and twist at times
when I speak don't give you a right
to call me "kaka"
My name is Qiqa and it starts with a capital Q!!

WhenI think of my name I think of the
wonderfulday
Izululali zongoma,umhlaba encancazela yinyikima
Itwas as if the heavans were about to open
asthe day they once opened to let Jesus in
Oh,myname was the bringer of peace,love,unity
Myname means think straight
Sowrite it right
Or you'll lose the true meaning

I will not stand here to be mocked
and remain silent
when my name is being thrashed around from english "kaka"
to Nigerian "Cica" right throuhg to coloured "kika"
I am a born free!!

Gone are the days when our foremothers names were
changed from "Nonkwenkwezi" To "Rose-Mary"
and our forefathers names from "Vulindlela" to "Richard"

I will not stand to be insulted
I will not live to be renamed
I will not be rebuked!!

My name is busy building a legacy,an empire and
here you are tormenting it

My name is a constant reminder of what is due to my family

I will not be relabelled
I will not stand here listening to people
neglecting to speak right.

Myname is an African epitome
tobe embraced,cherished and said RIGHT
MYNAME IS Qiqa and it starts with a capital Q
