Douentza is a town and urban commune in the Mopti Region of southern Mali. The town is the administrative center of the Douentza Cercle. On 5 April 2012, it was captured by the Tuareg rebels of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA). Describing the town as the "frontier" of their new nation, the MNLA declared an end to their offensive.[3] The following day, the group officially declared the independence of Azawad from Mali.[4][5]

My Stereo's A Liar

by: Donots

My stereo磗 a liar
Those mix-tapes are cheap alibis
But sometimes I believe that "everything is gonna be alright"
My stereo磗 a monster
Cause it almost killed me last night
It slowly crept upon me when singing those sweet lullabies
Take me away
Blow me away
Take me away
Come and make my day, yeah
(My stereo磗 a liar)
My stereo磗 a liar
Those mix-tape songs are blatant lies
I磍l never quite believe that "everything is gonna be just fine"
My stereo磗 a killer
A love song stabbed me from behind
I磍l die again tomorrow
With another song on running through my mind
(Go - Go!) That磗 alright with me!
(Go - Go!) That磗 alright with me - baby!
It磗 true I love my stereo
It gets me high when I feel low
I am in love with my stereo
It saves my life with a 1 - 2 - 3 - go!
