The Motherland Crying Lyrics

My brother behind bars

For trying to cheat the system

I'm out here spitting bars

Trying to defeat the system

Fifteen years of school

And I still ain't got a job

If I rob then I ain't cool

But my stomach still ain't full

My people are afraid

From the rural, to the urban

My people are afraid

Cause they ain't getting paid

And every politician

I know got a big belly

Eating burgers and jelly

And we begging for education

Yeah

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

I can see it

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

I can smell it

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

I can feel it

You arе afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

To talk about it

You afraid to tell thе truth

You are afraid

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid

You ain't you ain't getting no pay

I'm hiding in the booth

My president hiding the truth

While they fighting for power

The white powder killing the kids

Ignorant music killing my ears

The Motherland crying man

I can see the tears

You don't need to tell me

I know all your fears

Oh shit I need a job

Oh shit I need a CV

Oh shit I need a joint

Naked women on TV

Lost my culture chasing money

Lost my morals chasing pussy

Lost in this world chasing myself

Lost some friends telling the truth

Yeah

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

I can see it

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

I can smell it

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

I can feel it

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)

To talk about it

You are afraid (You afraid)

You are afraid (You afraid)
