Jun 10th 2020 Lyrics

I just feel the same whenever I write

A glass for who died in vain to save us from plight

I have to change my ways before I change my life

You're a printed piece of a paper 'cause you're just my type

Save us from us, deliver us from evil

Help me save all of my people

'Cause I'm woke, you're asleep

Covid-19 got you believin' you're sheep

Just open up a book and you read

And you'll realise that in real life, you're truly deceived

I'm no preacher, I'm no teacher but I do it better than those who got PhD's

I'd draft down a few promising essays

Of how we've been hurt and oppressed for decades

You may be qualified but won't conscientise, you teach but I educate

I'm here to grow minds not just entertain

Right-wing vs Left-wing but this ain't a soccer field

I dream of company surrounded by liberals

If you're a revolutionary and make it to 40 it's nothing short of a miracle

I think about Lembede, I think about Biko, I always think about Muyembe

I think about Josina, I think about how to be a great leader

If you read through the Manuscripts

You'd realise that being African is actually fabulous

Even though we're oppressed, we have a lot of privileges

We defeated the British, studied the eye and we built a lot of pyramids

Neo-colonialism is still an issue presented by countries like China

They're doing what Europe did prior

Before our liberation, they came with no invitation, I know what they truly desire

I'm a tree that'll grow into a forest

So lost in my mind space, I believe I'm in orbit

This ain't a speech, ain't a rap it's a poem I have to recite

I am the past, the present, the future ooh what a delight

Like Donald Woods when he met Steve Biko

His mind changed and saw him as a hero

So praise the long dead

'Cause they're all dead

But the son's next

His words are a success

Boy I'm smarter than a student

Guide my people through the Movement

Never blinded by vaginas, boy I'm sailing like Newton

Guide my people through the desert, got you thinking I'm Moses

Got the mind, got the mic, you're being led by a poet

Give you freedom, give you love like Thomas Sankara

I got a son, I got a wife so I don't need another

Will I die like George Floyd?

When I try to be a voice?

Or will I live, be IIconic like ms Peyton Royce?

It took the death of a man for you to see the truth?

2020 been the year that's revealing the abuse

Collin Khoza, Nat' Julius, Andile Mbuthu, End SARS.

Black Lives Matter! but this breaks hearts

You cried for George Floyd but not for us

You weep for people over the Atlantic

You wept for X but don't know Lumumba

Don't know Samora but wept for Bru Luther

It shows you don't see us as equal

Think about America better than your people

You idolise them but disown your own heroes?

You think highly of a bunch of stars and an eagle?

I write how it is I don't ever have to change

Follow me, I'll guide you and help you mend your ways

I'm not a holy stake so please don't make me cross

Unattracted to your leaders, boy I'm not a blind moth

I'm not gonna switch just to make it up the charts

I'm gon' make it up the charts without breakin' my heart

I hope you find peace and love in my wisdom

Would she stick around if I get imprisoned?

Would she stay or cheat and leave 'cause of distance

I wonder, how will they view me when it's all said and done?

Will they quote words of the "Son of the Sun?"

Will they take me to the top and make me number one?

Or let me die just to become another one?

How many leaders you need but leave them for death?

Is it Biko, is it Hani, is it Luyanda M?

I speak a lot of sense but I'm still called White

Feel like a stowaway 'cause I write off plight

I'm the soul of revolution, it needs me to walk

Always on my knees 'cause I'm talkin' to God

I make money off my visions of course I'm a prophet

I speak from my mind I'm conscious

Soul
